[Android] Inappropriate network user agent

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

Currently making network request will contains the default user agent from okhttp, e.g. okhttp/2.4.0, this’s not the proper way on the iOS which sets the user agent to product_name/bundle_version.

It’s possible to set the user-agent for all network request? Using the same for Android and IOS?

In a nutshell, I tried and failed.

Instead of overriding NetworkingModule, I want to modify MainReactPackage.java, initialize NetworkingModule with the second parameter.

new NetworkingModule(reactContext, defaultUserAgent)

Since I can’t access MainReactPackage.java in the sample app which create with react-native init sample, so I tried to modify the examples UIExplorer inside the master repo, followed with this instruction to install it on my device (5.0.2), but it force stopped immediately once I launched it, the packager is up, and JSMainModule looks fine.

http://localhost:8081/Examples/Movies/MoviesApp.android.bundle?platform=android

Neither UIExplorer nor Movies will force close, but the app created with react-native cli works, 😖
