Device model in strings.xml?

Question

Hello guys!

I have got a problem, I want to make my app display the device name (if your [DEVICENAME] is rooted or not) in the strings.xml, I have already tried many things, but nothing really worked.

Please tell me how to do that! It should work in Toasts made with MainActivity.java.

Why does it need to be in strings.xml? – Peter Chappy Jun 03 '15 at 14:51 — Peter Chappy, Jun 03 '15 at 14:51
@PeterChappy Because I need localization. – Max Jun 03 '15 at 15:20 — Max, Jun 03 '15 at 15:20

You can do it as follow.

In your strings.xml:

<string name="device_rooted">if your %s is rooted or not</string>

And in Java:

context.getString(R.string.device_rooted, android.os.Build.MODEL);

`MODEL` will give "The end-user-visible name for the end product." – FunkTheMonk Jun 03 '15 at 14:59
It's up to you to decide what you want to display. This is just an example to show how to do what you asked. – Gaëtan Jun 03 '15 at 15:01

In your strings.xml,

<string name="device">if %s is rooted or not.</string>

And in your Activity

getString(R.id.device, android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER + android.os.Build.PRODUCT);

`PRODUCT` will give "The name of the overall product." – FunkTheMonk Jun 03 '15 at 14:58
