From some reason on several android devices, I'm getting different User Agent from the browser and from my application's WebView.
I have used this line of code to get the UA in the app:
new WebView(this).getSettings().getUserAgentString();
This is the part with the difference
The application retruns:
HTC One X Build
While the browser returns:
HTC_One_X Build
Notice the underscores in the browser's version.
Any ideas what causes the difference?
Tx!
