An Android library to retrieve device information with a simple, modular API.
EasyDeviceInfo is an Android library that provides a straightforward way to retrieve comprehensive device information. It solves the problem of writing repetitive, boilerplate code to access details like hardware specs, network status, battery health, and sensor data by offering a clean, modular API.
Android developers who need to access device information in their apps, particularly those looking to simplify code and reduce complexity in handling Android's system APIs.
Developers choose EasyDeviceInfo for its modular design, ease of use, and extensive coverage—allowing them to quickly integrate device information retrieval without dealing with low-level Android framework intricacies.

The library uses segmented 'Mods' like EasyNetworkMod, allowing developers to initialize only needed components, reducing code bloat and improving maintainability.
It provides access to over 15 categories of device information, from hardware specs to ad IDs, as detailed in the Mods list including EasyBatteryMod and EasySensorMod.
Functions such as easyConfigMod.getTime() simplify complex Android framework calls, making code cleaner and more readable compared to native APIs.
Includes annotations like @NetworkType for constants and permission checks, which streamline development with features like permission validation and switch statement setup.
The split into multiple modules (base, ads, full) can confuse dependency management, requiring developers to carefully choose and maintain the right module for their needs.
The easydeviceinfo-ads module depends on play-services-base, which may not be suitable for apps avoiding Google services or aiming for a smaller APK size.
Version 2.x.x introduced API reworks from 1.x.x, necessitating migration efforts that can be time-consuming for existing projects, as noted in the README.
