How to read the SD Card ID number?

Question

How can I programatically read the SD Card\'s CID register, which contains a Serial Number and other information? Can I do it through Android Java, or Native code?

I made this one... it worked for me... hope it makes u clear!

String getSDCARDiD()
    {
        try {

            File file = new File("/sys/block/mmcblk1");
            if (file.exists() && file.isDirectory()) {

                memBlk = "mmcblk1";
            } else {
                //System.out.println("not a directory");
                memBlk = "mmcblk0";
            }

            Process cmd = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cat /sys/block/"+memBlk+"/device/cid");
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(cmd.getInputStream()));
            sd_cid = br.readLine();
            //System.out.println(sd_cid);

        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return sd_cid;
    }
