I would like to prevent user from registering on emulator, so how to determine whether apk is running on emulator or real device? Thank you!

  • Perhaps check if Google Play is installed? It's hard as hell to install Google Play in an emulator – Rotary Heart Mar 12 '13 at 02:33

    Haven't tried any of the solutions, but [start here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2799097/how-can-i-detect-when-an-android-application-is-running-in-the-emulator). Keep in mind that no methods are full proof. – A--C Mar 12 '13 at 02:33

  • In general the system propery Google uses is "ro.kernel.qemu". If this returns "1" then you are running on an emulator – EyalBellisha Mar 12 '13 at 09:31

You can check the device id which is hardcoded into emulator. For checking :

TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
Log.e("id", telephonyManager.getDeviceId());

And the result should be something like this:

03-12 09:50:08.043: E/id(447): 000000000000000

Try this 

if (Build.BRAND.equalsIgnoreCase("generic")) {
                 Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "YES, I am an emulator", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
           } else {
               Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "NO, I am NOT an emulator", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
              }
