I am developing an android application in which I want to get UDID of android emulator. How can i do it?

Thanks in advance, Tushar

Answer 1

You can do this using the TelephonyManager and the method getDeviceID(). But unfortunately I think for Emulator it will always return null.

Context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE).getDeviceID();

Don't forget to set the permission that is required for that:

Returns the unique device ID, for example, the IMEI for GSM and the MEID or ESN for CDMA phones. Return null if device ID is not available. Requires Permission: READ_PHONE_STATE

If you want a unique ID as a hex String you might also be interested in:
