Hi, I am downloading web pages off of the internet and some of those sites want to format their content for the actual user agent used.
I want to use the user agent that is later on used to display the stuff I donwnload. I can ask WebView.getWebSettings().getUserAgentString() to get the user agent, but this doesn't work all that well for my app as I need to instantiate a WebView first even though I don't need. Furthermore to do that I need to have a UI context, which I don't as this part of the app doesn't have a UI. Is there another way to get to the User Agent? I found in WebSettings: // User agent strings. private static final String DESKTOP_USERAGENT = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en)" + " AppleWebKit/528.5+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.2" + " Safari/525.20.1"; private static final String IPHONE_USERAGENT = "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone 2_1 like Mac OS X; en)" + " AppleWebKit/528.5+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.2" + " Mobile/5F136 Safari/525.20.1"; But of course, this is private. Any other idea? Cheers, Mariano -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
