How can I detect the Android runtime (Dalvik or ART) in Xamarin

问题

Similar question to this one : How can I detect the Android runtime (Dalvik or ART)?

How to do it in Xamarin.Android (MonoDroid), since I dont have java reflection here?

Since ART is not working on xamarin yet, I would like to detect it and show user some friendly message instead on app crash at least. Thanks.

Seems to work on the emulator, don't know what happens with actual device until it gets some charge:

[Activity (Label = "RuntimeActivity", MainLauncher = true)]
public class RuntimeActivity : Activity 
{
    private static readonly string SELECT_RUNTIME_PROPERTY = "persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib";
    private static readonly string LIB_DALVIK = "libdvm.so";
    private static readonly string  LIB_ART = "libart.so";
    private static readonly string  LIB_ART_D = "libartd.so";

    override protected void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
        SetContentView(Resource.Layout.runtime);

        var tv = FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.textView1);
        tv.Text = getCurrentRuntimeValue ();
    }

    private string getCurrentRuntimeValue() 
    {
        try 
        {
            var systemProperties = Java.Lang.Class.ForName("android.os.SystemProperties");

            try 
            {
                var str = new Java.Lang.String();
                var getMethod = systemProperties.GetMethod("get", str.Class, str.Class);

                if (getMethod == null) 
                {
                    return "WTF?!";
                }

                try 
                {
                    var value = getMethod.Invoke(systemProperties, SELECT_RUNTIME_PROPERTY,
                        /* Assuming default is */"Dalvik").ToString();
                    if (LIB_DALVIK.Equals(value)) {
                        return "Dalvik";
                    } else if (LIB_ART.Equals(value)) {
                        return "ART";
                    } else if (LIB_ART_D.Equals(value)) {
                        return "ART debug build";
                    }

                    return value;
                } 
                catch (IllegalAccessException e) 
                {
                    Log.Error(this.ToString(), e.Message);
                    return "IllegalAccessException";
                } 
                catch (IllegalArgumentException e) 
                {
                    Log.Error(this.ToString(), e.Message);
                    return "IllegalArgumentException";
                } 
                catch (InvocationTargetException e) 
                {
                    Log.Error(this.ToString(), e.Message);
                    return "InvocationTargetException";
                }
            } 
            catch (NoSuchMethodException e) 
            {
                Log.Error(this.ToString(), e.Message);
                return "SystemProperties.get(String key, String def) method is not found";
            }
        } 
        catch (ClassNotFoundException e) 
        {
            Log.Error(this.ToString(), e.Message);
            return "SystemProperties class is not found";
        }
    }
}

Xamarin.Android itself uses __system_property_get, which is a stable, documented, API, so you can use P/Invoke to do the same:

// <sys/system_properties.h>
[DllImport ("/system/lib/libc.so")]
static extern int __system_property_get (string name, StringBuilder value);

const int MaxPropertyNameLength   = 32; // <sys/system_properties.h>
const int MaxPropertyValueLength  = 92; // <sys/system_properties.h>

static bool OnArt {
    get {
        var buf = new StringBuilder (MaxPropertyValueLength + 1);
        int n   = __system_property_get ("persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib", buf);
        if (n > 0)
            return buf.ToString () == "libart.so";
        return false;
    }
}
