Detect app is running on Kindle Fire

Question

Does anyone know how to detect if the app is running on Kindle Fire ?

My app needs to turn off a few features if running on the Kindle Fire and I want to use the same build as Google Marketplace.

Answer 1

You can read android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER and android.os.Build.MODEL. On a Kindle Fire 1st Generation they are 'Amazon' and 'Kindle Fire' respectively. For model codes of newer Kindle Fire devices, see Device and Feature Specifications on Amazon's developer site.

Answer 2

Based on the official Kindle Fire Device and Feature Specifications I currently use this code:

public static boolean isKindleFire() {
    return android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER.equals("Amazon")
            && (android.os.Build.MODEL.equals("Kindle Fire")
                || android.os.Build.MODEL.startsWith("KF"));
}
