The Universal Device Detection library that parses User Agents and detects devices (desktop, tablet, mobile, tv, cars, console, etc.), clients (browsers, feed readers, media players, PIMs, ...), operating systems, brands and models.
This project is a Java adaptation of Matomo Device Detector.
Using DeviceDetector with Maven is quite easy. Just add the following dependency in your project's pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.mngsk</groupId>
<artifactId>device-detector</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>And use some code like this one:
import io.github.mngsk.devicedetector.DeviceDetector;
import io.github.mngsk.devicedetector.DeviceDetector.DeviceDetectorBuilder;
DeviceDetector dd = new DeviceDetectorBuilder().build();
// Assuming `request` is an instance of HttServletRequest
String userAgent = request.getHeader("User-Agent");
Detection detection = dd.detect(userAgent);
System.out.println(detection.getDevice().map(d -> d.toString()).orElse("unknown"));
System.out.println(detection.getOperatingSystem().map(d -> d.toString()).orElse("unknown"));
System.out.println(detection.getClient().map(d -> d.toString()).orElse("unknown"));
if (detection.getDevice().isPresent()) {
System.out.println(detection.getDevice().get().getType()); // bot, browser, feed reader...
System.out.println(detection.getDevice().get().getBrand().orElse("unknown"));
System.out.println(detection.getDevice().get().getModel().orElse("unknown"));
}Instead of using the full power of DeviceDetector it might in some cases be better to use only specific parsers. If you aim to check if a given user agent is a bot and don't require any of the other information, you can enable only the bot parser.
import io.github.mngsk.devicedetector.DeviceDetector;
import io.github.mngsk.devicedetector.DeviceDetector.DeviceDetectorBuilder;
DeviceDetector dd = new DeviceDetectorBuilder().disableEverything().enableBots().build();
Detection detection = dd.detect(userAgent);
if (detection.isBot()) {
System.out.println(detection.getClient().get().getName().get());
}Contrary to the original PHP implementation, this project does not include any caching mechanism. Consider using an specialized tool for that purpose.
This project uses the YAML fixture files of the original PHP version. To run the tests, execute mvn test from the project's root directory.
The lists below are auto generated and updated from time to time. Some of them might not be complete.
