Device Detector

The aim of this library is to fetch as much as possible information from a user-agent string. If a valid user-agent is provided, then the following information is determined:

• Bot or not
• For non-bots:
  • browser or application
  • operating system
  • device type
  • device brand

Features

• Over 200 types of bots
• Almost 50 mobile applications
• Almost 1000 brands
• Almost 100 types of operating systems
• Around 200 types of browsers
• On average, it takes 12ms to parse a user-agent

    <version>1.14.0</version>
</dependency>

Code example:

DeviceDetectorParser parser = DeviceDetectorParser.getClient();
DeviceDetectorResult result = parser.parse("Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 7.1.1; G8232 Build/41.2.A.0.235) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.91 Mobile Safari/537.36");

System.out.println("Result found: " + result.found());
System.out.println("User-agent is mobile: " + result.isMobileDevice());
System.out.println("User-agent is bot: " + result.isBot());
System.out.println("Result as JSON: " + result.toJSON());

Output:

Result found: true
User-agent is mobile: true
User-agent is bot: false
Result as JSON: {"os":{"osFamily":"Android","name":"Android","shortName":"AND","version":"7.1.1","platform":""},"client":{"deviceType":"browser","engine":"Blink","browserFamily":"Chrome","name":"Chrome Mobile","shortName":"CM","version":"55.0.2883.91"},"device":{"deviceType":"smartphone","model":"Xperia XZs","brand":"Sony"}}
