Could we know using clover android SDK if device is sandbox or production?

Is there any code or method that can tell us that clover device is sandbox or production?
As we know that we test our android clover app on sandbox using dev kit and after we upload it on production run on that deice.
We just want to know if there any code snap in android clover sdk or else that add in our clover app to get to know if it is sandbox or production device?

That's not something we expose via an SDK or otherwise. Theoretically you could look at the base URL returned from CloverAuth.authenticate() but that's going to be brittle.

This thread:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31581830/android-how-to-check-if-developer-option-is-enabled

Talks about reading the setting to check if development mode is enabled, which would almost always be the case for sandbox devices, but not guaranteed.

You could create different flavors of your app and include a config param (XML, or a class with a static field, for example) that describes this. Then only deploy the "sandbox" flavor to sandbox, etc.

We use the technique you initially describe (checking the base URL)- Has been pretty solid so far.
