What is the way of detecting android browser in java code?

Question

I am trying to detect android browser in java.

I know we can sniff the user agent(UAgentInfo.java) and detect the device and know whether it is an android device or ios device. But i do not want to detect the device .

What i want to do is that : After detecting the android device, I want to know what kind of browser the user is using. If it is an android browser then i will show another kind of UI .

Is there any way to do it ? Any help is deeply appreciated.

The same thing is included in user-agent but you need to search into the whole string for keywords say mozilla, chrome etc. to see if you can find a match. — Darshan Lila

Instead of giving down votes , provide information if you happen to have that on the subject. I don't care about down votes, I am more interested in knowing whether such a thing can be done. — The Dark Knight

There can be multiple keywords filter to narrow down your search to exactly detect the type of browser. For eg.

Mozilla If keywords IN="mozilla","firefox" and NOT IN="IE"
