Build number/fingerprint for Android Things

I'm using the Developer Preview of Android Things on my Raspberry Pi 3 and now, that the Preview 2 is released, I was asking myself if my RPi will get this via OTA.

Where can I find the build number to check against my device

generic/iot_rpi3/rpi3:7.0/NIF73/3565696:userdebug/test-keys

On the developer page I didn't find anything and before I rebuild by sdcard, it would be easier to compare it.

Solution

  • so I'm not sure if this is preview 1 or 2

    generic/iot_rpi3/rpi3:7.0/NIF73/3565696:userdebug/test-keys is the fingerprint for Preview 1, so you're still on it.

    You can

    • getprop ro.build.id to see the build number which is also reflected on the Release Notes (the hint came from @Devunwired, so don't forget to upvote his comment)
    • getprop ro.build.date to see the date of a build. Preview 2 should give you February 2017 instead of December 2016 for Preview 1.
