Android os.arch output for ARM, MIPS, x86?

Question

In order to identify the platform of an Android device, it seems that the java system property \"os.arch\" will suffice:

Log.i(\"mytag\", \"os.arch: \" + Sys         


        

Answer 1

According to what I can find in the Android source tree the ro.product.cpu.abi property (which you can access as CPU_ABI through the Build class) should have the following architecture-to-value mapping:

32-bit ABIs:

ARM: "armeabi-v7a" (or possibly "armeabi" if it's a really old / low-end device)

x86: "x86"

MIPS: "mips"

64-bit ABIs:

ARM: "arm64-v8a"

x86: "x86_64"

MIPS: "mips64"
