Android - is it possible to tell during runtime if the current device is an Amazon Kindle or NOOK from Barnes and Noble?

192 Views Asked by At

I have an apk file that I upload to the Kindle store and the NOOK store (both reader tablets) and I have a place in the app where I would like to know whether the device is an Amazon device or from Barnes and Noble. Is that possible? How do I find out this information during runtime?

The nook color spec: https://nookdeveloper.barnesandnoble.com/product/nook-color-specs.html

Contains the android.os.Build as mentioned by CommonsWare.

And the same for Kindle: https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/specifications.html

Anyhow, it seems better to use the android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER. It will be 'Amazon' or not.
