react-native-device-info

What is react-native-device-info?

The react-native-device-info package provides device information and system details for React Native applications. It allows developers to access a wide range of device-specific information, such as device ID, system version, and more.

What are react-native-device-info's main functionalities?

Get Device ID

This feature allows you to retrieve the unique device ID of the device running the application.

import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';

const deviceId = DeviceInfo.getDeviceId();
console.log(deviceId);

Get System Version

This feature allows you to get the operating system version of the device.

import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';

const systemVersion = DeviceInfo.getSystemVersion();
console.log(systemVersion);

Get Application Version

This feature allows you to retrieve the version of the application currently running on the device.

import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';

const appVersion = DeviceInfo.getVersion();
console.log(appVersion);

Get Battery Level

This feature allows you to get the current battery level of the device.

import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';

DeviceInfo.getBatteryLevel().then(batteryLevel => {
  console.log(batteryLevel);
});

Get Device Name

This feature allows you to retrieve the name of the device.

import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';

DeviceInfo.getDeviceName().then(deviceName => {
  console.log(deviceName);
});

Installation

First you need to install react-native-device-info:

npm install react-native-device-info --save

Installation (iOS)

In XCode, in the project navigator:

• Right click Libraries
• Add Files to [your project's name]
• Go to node_modules/react-native-device-info
• Add the .xcodeproj file

In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project.

• Add the libRNDeviceInfo.a from the deviceinfo project to your project's Build Phases ➜ Link Binary With Libraries
• Click .xcodeproj file you added before in the project navigator and go the Build Settings tab. Make sure 'All' is toggled on (instead of 'Basic').
• Look for Header Search Paths and make sure it contains both $(SRCROOT)/../react-native/React and $(SRCROOT)/../../React - mark both as recursive. (Should be OK by default.)

Run your project (Cmd+R)

Installation (Android)

• Add Gradle configuration changes

Run react-native link react-native-device-info in your project root.

• register module (in MainActivity.java)

On React Native 0.18+:

import com.learnium.RNDeviceInfo.RNDeviceInfo;  // <--- import

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
  ......

  /**
   * A list of packages used by the app. If the app uses additional views
   * or modules besides the default ones, add more packages here.
   */
    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
        new RNDeviceInfo(), // <------ add here
        new MainReactPackage());
    }
}

(Thanks to @chirag04 for writing the instructions)

• If you want to get the device name in Android add this to your AndroidManifest.xml (optional)

...
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>

Release Notes

• 0.9.1 adds support for the iPhone SE and new iPad Pro
• 0.9.0 adds support for device country and changes the iOS device name to match Apple branding
• 0.8.4 don't use destructuring
• 0.8.3 removes the default bluetooth permission
• 0.8.2 change deployment target to iOS 8
• 0.8.1 removes unnecessary peerDependencies
• 0.8.0 tweaks how device locale works on Android. If it's available it will use the toLanguageTag that is more inline with iOS. (See #14)
• 0.7.0 adds two new parameters, Device Locale and User Agent.
• 0.5.0 adds a new parameter; Device Id. On iOS this is the hardware string for the current device (e.g. "iPhone7,2"). On Android we use the BOARD field which is the name of the underlying board, e.g. "goldfish". The way that the module gets the device model on iOS has also changed to be based on the Device Id; now instead of getting a generic product family e.g. "iPhone", it will return the specific model e.g. "iPhone 6".

Example

var DeviceInfo = require('react-native-device-info');

console.log("Device Unique ID", DeviceInfo.getUniqueID());  // e.g. FCDBD8EF-62FC-4ECB-B2F5-92C9E79AC7F9
// * note this is IDFV on iOS so it will change if all apps from the current apps vendor have been previously uninstalled

console.log("Device Manufacturer", DeviceInfo.getManufacturer());  // e.g. Apple

console.log("Device Model", DeviceInfo.getModel());  // e.g. iPhone 6

console.log("Device ID", DeviceInfo.getDeviceId());  // e.g. iPhone7,2 / or the board on Android e.g. goldfish

console.log("Device Name", DeviceInfo.getSystemName());  // e.g. iPhone OS

console.log("Device Version", DeviceInfo.getSystemVersion());  // e.g. 9.0

console.log("Bundle Id", DeviceInfo.getBundleId());  // e.g. com.learnium.mobile

console.log("Build Number", DeviceInfo.getBuildNumber());  // e.g. 89

console.log("App Version", DeviceInfo.getVersion());  // e.g. 1.1.0

console.log("App Version (Readable)", DeviceInfo.getReadableVersion());  // e.g. 1.1.0.89

console.log("Device Name", DeviceInfo.getDeviceName());  // e.g. Becca's iPhone 6

console.log("User Agent", DeviceInfo.getUserAgent()); // e.g. Dalvik/2.1.0 (Linux; U; Android 5.1; Google Nexus 4 - 5.1.0 - API 22 - 768x1280 Build/LMY47D)

console.log("Device Locale", DeviceInfo.getDeviceLocale()); // e.g en-US

console.log("Device Country", DeviceInfo.getDeviceCountry()); // e.g US
