Checking If Your App Is Running On The Almer Arc

In order to have custom behavior directed towards the Arc or if your app has to adapt to certain restrictions the Almer Arc imposes, you might want to know at runtime if your app is running on the Almer Arc.

This is achieved by checking the Build.MODEL and Build.MANUFACTURER properties.

Example

java

import android.os.Build;

String deviceModel = Build.MODEL;
String deviceManufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER;
if (deviceModel.equals("Arc 2") && deviceManufacturer.equals("Almer")) {
    System.out.println("this app runs on Almer Arc 2");
}

kotlin

import android.os.Build

val deviceModel = Build.MODEL
val deviceManufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER
if(deviceModel == "Arc 2" && deviceManufacturer == "Almer"){
    println( "this app runs on Almer Arc 2" )
}
