DeviceInfo
Idea and Motivation
After trying out a bunch of device information apps, I got curious about how they work. That led me to think, “Why not make one myself?”
So, I used Kotlin and a bit of Java, plus some basic XML design, to create my own. Before diving in, I checked out similar apps to see what features I liked. Then, I made a list of what I wanted in my app. My main goal? To make it super easy to use and give you all the info you need about your device.
It took about a month to finish everything – planning, designing, building, and testing. But now, Device Info is good to go!
Features
The app consists of five main components that work together to provide a seamless user experience.
Dashboard
- At-a-Glance Insights: Get a quick overview of your device’s most crucial information, all presented on a beautifully designed dashboard.
Detailed Information
- Component Breakdown: Explore in-depth details of your device’s CPU, GPU, OS, Display, RAM, Storage, Battery, and more.
- Connectivity and Network: Understand your device’s network capabilities, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC connections.
Real-Time Monitoring
- Performance Metrics: Monitor real-time data on CPU and RAM usage, as well as battery health, to keep your device running smoothly.
App Management
- Comprehensive App Lists: Manage both installed and system apps, sorted by name, size, and installation date, with detailed pages for each app.
Hardware Testing
- Interactive Tests: Verify the functionality of your device’s hardware, including multi-touch, flash, speaker, microphone, and various sensors.
