Android HTTP User Agent

Question

How do I get the real device in http_user_agent? When I use a WebView, I can get the real value like this:

[HTTP_USER_AGENT] => Mozilla/5.0(Linux; U; Android 2.2; en-gb; LG-P500 Build/FRF91) 
AppleWebKit/533.0 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1

But when I use an Apache connection, the result is different:

[HTTP_USER_AGENT] => Apache-HttpClient/UNAVAILABLE(java 1.4).

What's the problem?

You can read useragent using webview:

new WebView(this).getSettings().getUserAgentString();

Or using system property:

System.getProperty("http.agent")
