Wish For the next B4A versión Customize phones IDs with names

[Daniel-White]

Hi, It is not a must, only aesthetic wish. and it is not really high priority wish neither.

Can we associate the ID of the phones connected by USB. usually, I am working with two phones and perhaps someday with 3. One with Lollipop, another with Kitkat, etc. one very but very poor in hardware and another one with very nice hardware.

I would like to customize the names to show after compile, it will be more easy to select the correct device to test. ,

instead of 05c9xxxxxx show MyslowyPhone
instead of 4d00f9cxxxx show MypowerfullPhone etc.

Thanks

Seems like it can be achieved with BluetoothAdapter on some devices but someone commented that:

Note that even having a "Settings->About->DeviceName" is a vendor customization, rather than a part of Android itself. – Chris Stratton May 24 '13 at 2:10

...and thus for some devices (manufacturers) it will return the model number and not the user device name that has been set.

".....This got me what I was needed... http://cmanios.wordpress.com/2012/05/09/bluetooth-adapter-device-name-and-mac-address-in-android/

BluetoothAdapter myDevice =BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();String deviceName = myDevice.getName();
Make sure you add

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
to your manifest......"

I for myself are using always USB-Connected devices

Note that even having a "Settings->About->DeviceName"

My device, when connected to usb are listed with the given Name in my Explorer (S6 EDGE) but inside the B4A Ide it is listed as just a long number.

No problem if i only connect one device to my pc. But while developing i usually want to connect more devices at once.
The problem starts here

I now get a list of all IDs (the long number) to choose from which device i want to use (at each compile)...

Seeing a Device NAME instead of a long id could be much of help.
