I have an automatic bug reporting facility in my app that includes useful information for debugging.
One thing that I would like to include is the ROM provider. In particular I would like to know if the user is running a custom ROM and which, preferably even with the version number.
Any idea how to retrieve this information programmatically?
--- Taken from the Quintin (see below)
public static String getReadableModVersion() {
String modVer = getSystemProperty(Constants.SYS_PROP_MOD_VERSION);
return (modVer == null || modVer.length() == 0 ? "Unknown" : modVer);
}
Whereby the constant is this:
public static final String SYS_PROP_MOD_VERSION = "ro.modversion";
And here is the getSystemProperty();
public static String getSystemProperty(String propName){
String line;
BufferedReader input = null;
try
{
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("getprop " + propName);
input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()), 1024);
line = input.readLine();
input.close();
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
Log.e(TAG, "Unable to read sysprop " + propName, ex);
return null;
}
finally
{
if(input != null)
{
try
{
input.close();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
Log.e(TAG, "Exception while closing InputStream", e);
}
}
}
return line;
}
Could anybody with a CM ROM can run this for me?
Btw. Careful, this is GPL code. I for one can not use it. Any easier or non-GPL way?
