android-sysinfo

Overview

android-sysinfo is a Android Native program which reports the system properties of any android device using the system properties C API existing in Android libc bionic.

It is simlar to the Settings or System > About phone system information displayed on your mobile device.

It reports the model, build version and kernel info, etc.

Requirements

You need to install the Android SDK and Android NDK to use adb and ndk-build used in the build process.

Build

The build Makefile is using adb to determine the Android version and ABI of the NDK to use in order to produce the binary.

Connect your Android device via USB and enable USB Debugging, then run:

make push

Run

make run
