SERIAL ID device identifier in android 1.6

Question

How can I get the serial number at API level 3?

Answer 1

TelephonyManager manager = (TelephonyManager) yourActivity.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE); String uid = manager.getDeviceId(); 

This works from API level 1.

Answer 2

Depending on what you want to do, there are several options:

• reading Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID . "This is the 64-bit amount that is generated and saved the first time the device boots up."

• using TelephonyManager.getDeviceId () But it does not work on all devices.
