Get User-Agent using Android API

Kindly provide me the Android code to get the User-Agent from the Android mobile device like in J2me where we can get System information about the mobile device using the J2me API.

Also , is there any list of Rdf or useragent string/ xml for the different Android devices available in the market.

Just to make sure you are getting the correct string or you want to check what a browser's user agent string is that works try this site. http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com/

Also the user-agent string is modifiable but doing so doesn't change the browser itself. (Learned that the hard way :)

The User-Agent header is private to the Browser application. Also note that different browsers (there are quite a few on the market) will use different User-Agent strings. Also, I don't know of any list of Android User-Agent strings.

If you're just looking to test whether someone is using Android to browse your website, just check for "android" in the User-Agent string.
