This article describes the different device-level properties captured when using the Braze Android SDK.

Device properties

By default, Braze will collect the following device-level properties to allow device, language, and time zone-based message personalization:

• AD_TRACKING_ENABLED
• ANDROID_VERSION
• CARRIER
• IS_BACKGROUND_RESTRICTED
• LOCALE
• MODEL
• NOTIFICIATION_ENABLED
• RESOLUTION
• TIMEZONE

You can disable or specify the properties you wish to collect by setting them using BrazeConfig.Builder.setDeviceObjectAllowlistEnabled() and BrazeConfig.Builder.setDeviceObjectAllowlist().

The following example showcases allowlisting the device object to only include the Android OS version and device locale in the device object:

1
2
3
  new BrazeConfig.Builder()
      .setDeviceObjectAllowlistEnabled(true)
      .setDeviceObjectAllowlist(EnumSet.of(DeviceKey.ANDROID_VERSION, DeviceKey.LOCALE));

By default, all fields are enabled. Note that without some properties, not all features will function properly. For instance, local time zone delivery will not function without the time zone.
