Read Android system info., using System.getProperty

It's another exercise to read Android system information, using system provided method getProperty.



Create a new Android Application, with the Activity named AndroidSYSinfoActivity. Modify the main.xml and AndroidSYSinfoActivity.java:
main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:orientation="vertical"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="fill_parent"
 >
<TextView
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:gravity="center_horizontal"
 android:text="android-er.blogspot.com"
 android:autoLink="web"
 />
<TextView
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:text="Android System:"
 />
<TextView
 android:id="@+id/SYSinfo"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 />
</LinearLayout>

Download main.xml.

AndroidSYSinfoActivity.java

package com.exercise.AndroidSYSinfo;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class AndroidSYSinfoActivity extends Activity {
 /** Called when the activity is first created. */
 @Override
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
     setContentView(R.layout.main);
  
  
     TextView SYSinfo = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.SYSinfo);
     SYSinfo.setText(ReadSYSinfo());
 }

 private static StringBuffer SYSinfoBuffer;

 private String ReadSYSinfo()
 {
  SYSinfoBuffer = new StringBuffer();
  
  getProperty("os.name", "os.name", SYSinfoBuffer);
  getProperty("os.version", "os.version", SYSinfoBuffer);
  
  getProperty("java.vendor.url", "java.vendor.url", SYSinfoBuffer);
  getProperty("java.version", "java.version", SYSinfoBuffer);

  getProperty("user.name", "user.name", SYSinfoBuffer);
  getProperty("user.home", "user.home", SYSinfoBuffer);
  getProperty("user.dir", "user.dir", SYSinfoBuffer);
  
  return SYSinfoBuffer.toString();
 }

 private void getProperty(String desc, String property, StringBuffer tBuffer)
 {
  tBuffer.append(desc);
  tBuffer.append(" : ");
  tBuffer.append(System.getProperty(property));
  tBuffer.append("\n");
