Android: How to programmatically access the device serial number shown in the AVD manager (API Version 8)
This is the hardware serial number. To access it on
Android Q (>= SDK 29)
android.Manifest.permission.READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE
is required. Only system apps can require this permission. If the calling package is the device or profile owner then theREAD_PHONE_STATE
permission suffices.Android 8 and later (>= SDK 26) use
android.os.Build.getSerial()
which requires the dangerous permission READ_PHONE_STATE. Usingandroid.os.Build.SERIAL
returns android.os.Build.UNKNOWN.Android 7.1 and earlier (<= SDK 25) and earlier
android.os.Build.SERIAL
does return a valid serial.
It's unique for any device. If you are looking for possibilities on how to get/use a unique device id you should read here.
For a solution involving reflection without requiring a permission see this answer.
How to get the device's IMEI/ESN programmatically in android?
You want to call android.telephony.TelephonyManager.getDeviceId()
.
This will return whatever string uniquely identifies the device (IMEI on GSM, MEID for CDMA).
You'll need the following permission in your AndroidManifest.xml
:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
in order to do this.
That being said, be careful about doing this. Not only will users wonder why your application is accessing their telephony stack, it might be difficult to migrate data over if the user gets a new device.
Update: As mentioned in the comments below, this is not a secure way to authenticate users, and raises privacy concerns. It is not recommended. Instead, look at the Google+ Login API if you want to implement a frictionless login system.
The Android Backup API is also available if you just want a lightweight way to persist a bundle of strings for when a user resets their phone (or buys a new device).
Is there a unique Android device ID?
Settings.Secure#ANDROID_ID
returns the Android ID as an unique for each user 64-bit hex string.
import android.provider.Settings.Secure;
private String android_id = Secure.getString(getContext().getContentResolver(),
Secure.ANDROID_ID);

How to find serial number of Android device?
TelephonyManager tManager = (TelephonyManager)myActivity.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String uid = tManager.getDeviceId();
getSystemService is a method from the Activity class. getDeviceID() will return the MDN or MEID of the device depending on which radio the phone uses (GSM or CDMA).
Each device MUST return a unique value here (assuming it's a phone). This should work for any Android device with a sim slot or CDMA radio. You're on your own with that Android powered microwave ;-)
HTTP request fails even if the connection is active
That error maybe relate to VPN connect, please close the application, off VNP if it was connected, re-connect to VPN and restart you application.
In all case, you must be connect the VPN before open the application.
Android : Check whether the phone is dual SIM
Update 23 March'15 :
Official multiple SIM API is available now from Android 5.1 onwards
Other possible option :
You can use Java reflection to get both IMEI numbers.
Using these IMEI numbers you can check whether the phone is a DUAL SIM or not.
Try following activity :
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TelephonyInfo telephonyInfo = TelephonyInfo.getInstance(this);
String imeiSIM1 = telephonyInfo.getImsiSIM1();
String imeiSIM2 = telephonyInfo.getImsiSIM2();
boolean isSIM1Ready = telephonyInfo.isSIM1Ready();
boolean isSIM2Ready = telephonyInfo.isSIM2Ready();
boolean isDualSIM = telephonyInfo.isDualSIM();
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv);
tv.setText(" IME1 : " + imeiSIM1 + "\n" +
" IME2 : " + imeiSIM2 + "\n" +
" IS DUAL SIM : " + isDualSIM + "\n" +
" IS SIM1 READY : " + isSIM1Ready + "\n" +
" IS SIM2 READY : " + isSIM2Ready + "\n");
}
}
And here is TelephonyInfo.java
:
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import android.content.Context;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
public final class TelephonyInfo {
private static TelephonyInfo telephonyInfo;
private String imeiSIM1;
private String imeiSIM2;
private boolean isSIM1Ready;
private boolean isSIM2Ready;
public String getImsiSIM1() {
return imeiSIM1;
}
/*public static void setImsiSIM1(String imeiSIM1) {
TelephonyInfo.imeiSIM1 = imeiSIM1;
}*/
public String getImsiSIM2() {
return imeiSIM2;
}
/*public static void setImsiSIM2(String imeiSIM2) {
TelephonyInfo.imeiSIM2 = imeiSIM2;
}*/
public boolean isSIM1Ready() {
return isSIM1Ready;
}
/*public static void setSIM1Ready(boolean isSIM1Ready) {
TelephonyInfo.isSIM1Ready = isSIM1Ready;
}*/
public boolean isSIM2Ready() {
return isSIM2Ready;
}
/*public static void setSIM2Ready(boolean isSIM2Ready) {
TelephonyInfo.isSIM2Ready = isSIM2Ready;
}*/
public boolean isDualSIM() {
return imeiSIM2 != null;
}
private TelephonyInfo() {
}
public static TelephonyInfo getInstance(Context context){
if(telephonyInfo == null) {
telephonyInfo = new TelephonyInfo();
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = ((TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE));
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM1 = telephonyManager.getDeviceId();;
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM2 = null;
try {
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM1 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getDeviceIdGemini", 0);
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM2 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getDeviceIdGemini", 1);
} catch (GeminiMethodNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
try {
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM1 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getDeviceId", 0);
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM2 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getDeviceId", 1);
} catch (GeminiMethodNotFoundException e1) {
//Call here for next manufacturer's predicted method name if you wish
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
telephonyInfo.isSIM1Ready = telephonyManager.getSimState() == TelephonyManager.SIM_STATE_READY;
telephonyInfo.isSIM2Ready = false;
try {

}
}
}
return telephonyInfo;
}
private static String getDeviceIdBySlot(Context context, String predictedMethodName, int slotID) throws GeminiMethodNotFoundException {

Object[] obParameter = new Object[1];
obParameter[0] = slotID;
Object ob_phone = getSimID.invoke(telephony, obParameter);
if(ob_phone != null){
imei = ob_phone.toString();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new GeminiMethodNotFoundException(predictedMethodName);
}
return imei;
}
private static boolean getSIMStateBySlot(Context context, String predictedMethodName, int slotID) throws GeminiMethodNotFoundException {

if(ob_phone != null){

if(simState == TelephonyManager.SIM_STATE_READY){
isReady = true;
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new GeminiMethodNotFoundException(predictedMethodName);
}
return isReady;
}
private static class GeminiMethodNotFoundException extends Exception {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -996812356902545308L;
public GeminiMethodNotFoundException(String info) {
super(info);
}
}
}
Edit :
Getting access of methods like "getDeviceIdGemini" for other SIM slot's detail has prediction that method exist.
If that method's name doesn't match with one given by device manufacturer than it will not work. You have to find corresponding method name for those devices.
Finding method names for other manufacturers can be done using Java reflection as follows :
public static void printTelephonyManagerMethodNamesForThisDevice(Context context) {
TelephonyManager telephony = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
Class<?> telephonyClass;
try {
telephonyClass = Class.forName(telephony.getClass().getName());
Method[] methods = telephonyClass.getMethods();
for (int idx = 0; idx < methods.length; idx++) {
System.out.println("\n" + methods[idx] + " declared by " + methods[idx].getDeclaringClass());
}
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
EDIT :
As Seetha pointed out in her comment :
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM1 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getDeviceIdDs", 0);
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM2 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getDeviceIdDs", 1);
It is working for her. She was successful in getting two IMEI numbers for both the SIM in Samsung Duos device.
Add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
EDIT 2 :
The method used for retrieving data is for Lenovo A319 and other phones by that manufacture (Credit Maher Abuthraa):
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM1 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getSimSerialNumberGemini", 0);
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM2 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getSimSerialNumberGemini", 1);
