Retrieve Android Device Manufactured date Programmatically?

Question

I need to find the Android Device manufactured Date through my code I have gone through the android.os.Build API But Didn't find such a method

is possible to get Android Device Manufactured Date or Not?

Do OEMs provide such an information in any form (except what's put in stickers at the back of certain phones)? — ozbek, Sep 30 '13 at 18:14

You can use

Log.i("ManuFacturer :", Build.MANUFACTURER);
Log.i("Board : ", Build.BOARD);
Log.i("Diaply : ", Build.DISPLAY);

Here is the documentations of that: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.html

I need Manufactured Date not the name of Manufacturer – Software Sainath Sep 27 '13 at 09:08
The `Build.TIME` field is likely what you're after though it's not documented as to what that field actually describes. If you look at the source code for the `Build` object you'll see the following: public static final long TIME = getLong("ro.build.date.utc") * 1000; – Karl Oct 01 '13 at 20:39

@Karl: `Build.TIME` is the time the binary was built. It changes every time a new binary is downloaded or the device gets a system upgrade. – ozbek Oct 02 '13 at 11:46
Upvote for you considering the Android docs don't even explain that :p Cheers for the info. – Karl Oct 02 '13 at 20:19

@Sameer, by getting system updates: Settings > About > System updates – ozbek Oct 03 '13 at 17:48

You can get the date the OS was installed.

Date osInstalledDate = new Date(Build.TIME);
Log.i("MW",  "time from Build.TIME = " + osInstalledDate .toString());

Unfortunately if they re-install the OS this won't work.

When testing on my android device I saw this in the logcat "mali: REVISION=Linux-r2p4-02rel0 BUILD_DATE=Thu Oct 25 08:43:05 KST 2012". This looks like a manufacture date or the compile date? I havn't figured out how to extract this in the android app yet. – LondonAppDev Oct 04 '13 at 06:54

The closest you can get to the Device is with the TelephonyManager.

TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
Log.d("X", tm.getDeviceId() + ", " + tm.getDeviceSoftwareVersion());

There you get the IMEI, Software Version and some information about the current Cell and SIM card. But device depenedant date: no, not yet in Android.

Presently there is no API in Android to get Android Device Manufactured Date. From Build.TIME you can get OS installation or up-gradation date.

On samsung oneui devices we can dial *#12580*369# and see the manufactured date. RF Cal shows the manufactured date there.

But I have no idea to retrieve it programatically.
