you can delete the avd images and so you can start your app only at real devices.

Hello @MarkusR sorry I do not understand do you mean the avd images that installed on my computer ?

If yes this is not the case

I have clients uses my app under unreal device's mostly in emulators with fake android id's

That's why I am trying to prevent emulators

Have you tried searching the forums for "Detect emulator" there are a few threads addressing this.

I have searched in b4a forum

I have tried your answer sense 2011 of

Checking if device id is 15 zeros but this isn't effective on emulators sense some emulators like nox have random digits as a device id each creation has a different digits

@PassionDEV
oh, that was a missunderstanding
should not the google licence api prevent others (people that not purchased it) from using your app?

There are simple ways to check for emulators however they will not work with "malicious emulators" as it is simple to modify the emulator and make it appear as a real device.

The licensing library might be helpful here.

I'll activate the App in each device with a SMS. The emulator is unable to receive and send one. If you need I've got the code.

You´ll not be able to add functionality to your Device which normally needs an Rooted Device.
