Is there code available to view the specs of a phone that is running your application?

How is this related to game development? – roe Oct 24 '10 at 17:16
What exactly do you want to detect? The existence of a front camera? The amount of memory available? – Ricket♦ Oct 24 '10 at 22:26
It may not be directly related to game dev, but it is needed for my game. Yes, processor, memory... things like that – Adam Coburn Oct 25 '10 at 1:54

Someone should warn you that whatever you are trying to do with this information that you claim is "needed" for your game is probably not the right way to accomplish your goals. – Sparr Nov 1 '10 at 7:40

Yes, there is a built in class you can use.

Also you might like to checkout PhoneGap.java for some other useful tidbits.

Thanks. This is what I was looking for. I can't get direct specs, but the phone models are enough to get what I need. – Adam Coburn Nov 25 '10 at 8:48
