Identifying Operating System with Data Insertion API

I'm currently using the Data Insertion API but the Operating System report is showing my OS as "Unknown". How do I identify the request as from Android? The JAR is using JAVA in the URL, but that's not in the doc

    I believe you would pass this via the "userAgent" field or via the HTTP headers if you are sending a POST request.  Using the Android SDK instead might be a better alternative as it takes care of it for you.

      Thanks for the reply. I am using GET and not POST. Should I still use the "userAgent" field?

      If you are using GET then you would likely need to make sure you are sending the user-agent http header

      The "userAgent" field can be used if you using POST / xml.  I believe this is noted in the documentation.

        Thanks, btripple. Could you give me an example or point me to the docs where this is noted? I'm not able to find this.
