Yes getting closer, most likely the answer is to use android.os.Build.PRODUCT property, which returns something like "windows_x86_64"... However I don't have confirmation that we would keep this property consistent (we could possibly change it at any point in time).

While I work on getting confirmation, what would you be using detecting if it's Windows vs Android for? That'll help understand your scenario and make sure we have the right answer for you.

Since there are differences definitely between Windows and Android, my app is meant to provide different instructions for users according to their device types. Looking forward to a more precise answer from you and thank you in advance.
