title: Detecting display type in Android
body: <p>Is there any mechanism (in either the SDK or NDK) to fetch vendor information (or really, any information) about the current display? In particular, I'm hoping to find if a display is OLED vs. LCD vs. other, as every OLED device I've tested has horrible color fidelity (over-saturation); and since Android doesn't have color correction this needs to be corrected at the app level. As a fallback having a manual list of popular OLED devices and doing a lookup by device type is theoretically feasible, but (a) there's a whole lot of devices out there and (b) working at the device rather than display level adds additional complexity for devices using external displays. Even putting together that list would be a challenge...</p>
