Android is not something that has a user-agent, it is OS. The Web-browser application has a user-agent property. And each developer can freely set the user agent of his own app to anything, even to something like Albus Dumbledore, or Tony Stark. You unfortunately can't determine 100% if it is Android, or not because no one has to tell you this. The best what you can do is to collect a list of User-Agent of the most popular Android web browser apps, and check from this list.

hi, I have see google android string and firefox all of them can use Android as a keyword.Google also gives a regex to match android device. Besides, client in android is our own app, so I can ignore client override by himself.I needn't exactly distinct what browser kind in android, just android is ok.does it haven't common method to match?
