device_info
Get information regarding your device like android, ios or windows
In this article, we will discuss, how to get some important information regarding over device,
Means flutter is a hybrid language and using this we will create applications for android, ios, mac os, and windows applications.
So sometimes we are writing code accordingly to a specific OS. Like some lines of code for android or ios.
Also for some other uses, we needed this information.
So come the main point,
There is a library available for getting this information easily
This is device_info
After adding this library and import this,
We can get information in easily
import 'package:device_info/device_info.dart’;
DeviceInfoPlugin deviceInfo = DeviceInfoPlugin();
AndroidDeviceInfo androidInfo = await deviceInfo.androidInfo; print(’Running on ${androidInfo.model}’); // e.g. "Moto G (4)"
IosDeviceInfo iosInfo = await deviceInfo.iosInfo; print(’Running on ${iosInfo.utsname.machine}’); // e.g. "iPod7,1"

But there is also some custom option available if you want to get only device name.
Like this
for a more simple way for web and app both.
try this
import 'dart:io' show Platform;
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart' show kIsWeb;
var platformName = '’;
if (kIsWeb) {
platformName = "Web";
} else {
if (Platform.isAndroid) {
platformName = "Android";
} else if (Platform.isIOS) {
platformName = "IOS";
} else if (Platform.isFuchsia) {
platformName = "Fuchsia";
} else if (Platform.isLinux) {
platformName = "Linux";
} else if (Platform.isMacOS) {
platformName = "MacOS";
} else if (Platform.isWindows) {
platformName = "Windows";
}
}
print("platformName :-"+platformName.toString());
