Android : Get “device name” on android tv

Question

I know this question is something that is often asked but no matter what I tried I couldn't find the answer.

I use an AVD android TV (API 24) and want to access this :

How can I access this name in my app ? Even with adb I never found it...

Answer 1

this is worked for my AVD (API level 24).

String deviceName = Settings.Global.getString(getContentResolver(), "device_name");

Instead of the string "device_name", you can also use the constant Settings.Global.DEVICE_NAME.

This property was moved into Settings.Global in API 17.

Before API 17, the following code should work:

String deviceName = Settings.System.getString(getContentResolver(), "device_name");
