Will TelephonyManger.getDeviceId() return device id for Tablets like Galaxy Tab...?

I want to get the device id that will be unique for each Android device. I am presently developing for a Tablet device. Want to get unique device id and store the corresponding values...

So, i want to know whether Tablet devices will return a value if i use TelephonyManager.getDeviceId()...???Or is there any other value that is unique for each device???

Solution

  • This is not a duplicate question. As it turns out, Google's CTS require that getPhoneType of TelephonyManager needs to be none and getDeviceId of TelephonyManager needs to be null for non-phone devices.

    So to get IMEI, please try to use:

    String imei = SystemProperties.get("ro.gsm.imei")

    Unfortunately, SystemProperties is a non-public class in the Android OS, which means it isn't publicly available to regular applications. Try looking at this post for help accessing it: Where is android.os.SystemProperties
