Android Question targetsdk 28 get device id

Addo · Apr 21, 2019

i am using this code to get device id

B4X:

Sub GetDeviceId As String
    Dim id As String
    Dim r As Reflector
    Dim Api As Int
    Api = r.GetStaticField("android.os.Build$VERSION", "SDK_INT")
    If Api < 9 Then
        'Old device
        id= GetDeviceId
    Else
        'New device
        id= r.GetStaticField("android.os.Build", "SERIAL")
        If id.ToLowerCase = "unknown" Then
            id= GetDeviceId
        End If
        
    End If
    Return id
End Sub

it was working on targetsdk 26 but after setting the manifest to targetsdk 28 i got this error

*** Service (starter) Create ***
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **

i manage to get it fixed like following

B4X:

Sub Grabdevid As String
    Dim id As String
    Dim r As Reflector
    Dim Api As Int
    Dim pi As PhoneId
   
    Api = r.GetStaticField("android.os.Build$VERSION", "SDK_INT")
    If Api < 9 Then
        'Old device
        id= pi.GetDeviceId
    Else
        'New device
        id= r.GetStaticField("android.os.Build", "SERIAL")
        If id.ToLowerCase = "unknown" Then
        id= pi.GetDeviceId
    End If
       
    End If
    Return id
End Sub

but serial always return unknown on my honor play device on sdk 26 serial retrieved without any problems what should i change ?

i get it work here is what i did

Android Build.Serial is deprecated in sdk 26+ thats why the following return unknown

B4X:

r.GetStaticField("android.os.Build", "SERIAL")'unknown on api 26+

i have tried to replace SERIAL with getSerial Like

B4X:

id= r.GetStaticField("android.os.Build", "getSerial")

then i got this exception

*** Service (starter) Create ***
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **
main_vvvvvv6 (java line: 750)

Then i decided to use javaobject as temporarily solution

B4X:

'Private NativeMe As JavaObject i have declared in process_Global


Sub GetDeviceId As String
    Dim id As String
    Dim r As Reflector
    Dim Api As Int
    Dim pi As PhoneId
 
    Api = r.GetStaticField("android.os.Build$VERSION", "SDK_INT")

    If Api < 9 Then
    'Old device
     
    id= pi.GetDeviceId
 
    Else if (Api >=9) And (Api < 26) Then
 
    id= r.GetStaticField("android.os.Build", "SERIAL")
 
    Else If Api >= 26 Then
 
    id= NativeMe.RunMethod("getSerialNew", Null)
 
    End If
 
 
    If id.ToLowerCase = "unknown" Then
    id= pi.GetDeviceId
    End If
 
 
 
    Return id
End Sub



#If Java
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.os.Build;
import android.provider.Settings;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;

/**

   *
   * @return the serial
   */
  public String getSerialNew() {
    String result = initialVal;
    try {
      result = Build.getSerial();
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    if (result == null || result.length() == 0) {
      result = initialVal;
    }
    return result;
  }


#End If

You should use PhoneId from the Phone library to get a unique id (required a runtime permission) or get the advertising id: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/101050/#content
