User-Agent Header Field in HTTP Requests

The User-Agent header is an HTTP request header that identifies the client software (e.g., web browser, API client, bot, or script) making the request to a server. It provides information about the software, version, and operating system.

This example shows how to set the User-Agent header field.

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    CkHttp http = new CkHttp();
    http.put_UserAgent("MyApp/3.0");

    //  ...

  }

  static {
      System.loadLibrary("chilkat");

      // Note: If the incorrect library name is passed to System.loadLibrary,
      // then you will see the following error message at application startup:
      //"The application <your-application-name> has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
