Android Question Error capturing IMEI number in Devices

[AndroidMadhu]

Hello,
I am trying to capture mobile IMEI number of Devices.
While the App working fine at 2 devices. [Xiomi [ Android 10] and Samsung [Android 8.1.0]].
But when I am trying to capture the IMEI number of Samsung Galaxy M30S [Android 10] , the application crash while load/Opening of App.
I have un-installed and again install but no luck.
The below error I am getting while trying to open the App....

 ** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
main$ResumableSub_Activity_Createresume (java line: 548)
java.lang.SecurityException: getDeviceId: The user 10299 does not meet the requirements to access device identifiers.

@Erel... I am getting error while trying to compile the App...

B4A Version: 10.2

The below is the Code...

 imei=GetAdvertisingId

Java Code

 #if Java
import java.util.concurrent.Callable;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.identifier.AdvertisingIdClient;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.identifier.AdvertisingIdClient.Info;

public static void GetAdvertisingId() {
    BA.runAsync(processBA, mostCurrent, "advertisingid_ready", new Object[] {false, ""}
            , new Callable<Object[]>() {
                                    @Override
                                    public Object[] call() throws Exception {
                                            String id = AdvertisingIdClient.getAdvertisingIdInfo(mostCurrent).getId();
                                            return new Object[] {true, id};
                                    }
                            }); }
#End If

Please advice on this please......

I used the below code from the below link... Post #16]

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/getting-androidid.119425/

Sub GenerateID() As String
      Dim P As Phone
      Dim IDAndroid As String=P.GetSettings("android_id")
      Return IDAndroid
End Sub

Its worked at android 10.
Is that fine? Please advice....

Its worked at android 10.

Set your targetsdk to 29 and it will NOT WORK!

You can't run this code anymore in Android 10+.

You can't run this code anymore in Android 10+.

I have tested the above code on Xiaomi [Android 10] and Samsung Android Q. Both worked fine for me.
If it will not work on Android 10+, the only way to get the Unique User ID is Advertising ID. But the above code is not working Post #3.

Please advice on this....

Thanks

Did you watch the video tutorial?

and check the link in that post https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/permissions/overview#permission-groups

So we know what you're trying to do but we don't know why...

So we know what you're trying to do but we don't know why...

I am developing a Fleet management system. When the App has been installed it will get the Hardware [Phone] IMEI [Which is not working] or Phone Hexadeci ID [Working as of Now] and store into Database.
I want to restrict the user to use the fleet with One Phone ID tagged with fleet. Because of this reason I want to tag the Phone ID with The fleet ID.
Otherwise user[Driver] may use different Fleet with same phone , and I am not able to get the usage of fleet in real time and the tariff/cost for the fleet.

Hope I am able to clear my concept as why I want to get the IMEI or Phone ID.

Thanks

Use:

Dim p As Phone
    Dim IDAndroid As String=P.GetSettings("android_id")
