Yeah but what about devices without WIFI ?

Found the cause:
The android_id is not available unless you have logged onto the
android market at least once from a device.
Once you've done that, the ID is populated and returned by the device.
Using the android_id does raise a couple of privacy questions though,
but that's food for another
Hi,
Is there a way to populate the id without having to get into the
market? This sounds a very strange policy. Seems that google only
thinks that the consumer will use Android, and they forgot about the
companies that will just install their applications and nothing else
(example: Sales Force
That's interesting. Is ANDROID_ID only null on the emulator because
the market application is not available on the emulator?

Hi,
having the exact same problem on a Droid 2.0.1 and HTC Hero 1.5. :
String androidID = Secure.getString(this.getContextResolver(),
android.provider.Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
Toast.makeText(this, ANDROID_ID: + androidID,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
consistently returns null
Hi fisobral,
Having the exact same problem using a Motorola Droid running 2.0.1 and
HTC Hero on 1.5.
Querying the Android ID consistently returns a null value, using
similar code to yours in the onCreate of the launcher Activity:
String androidID = Secure.getString(this.getContentResolver(),
This is what I'm doing, seems to work on all the devices we've seen
Classandroid.os.Build buildClass =
android.os.Build.class;
android.os.Build build = new android.os.Build ();
String board = (String) buildClass.getField(BOARD).get
(build);

By the 'same value' do you mean they show an ANDROID_ID? or are they
showing null? And if you code doesn't work on any devices you have, I
suspect it
Hi Mike,
that looks like it may do the trick, when combined with IMEI that
should deliver a unique ID, thanks.
Still eager to find the cause of this, it may be causing more trouble
somewhere else.

I am not aware of a permission needed for ANDROID_ID. If you wanted the
IMSI or IMEI, those would need a permission.

My application does not require any special uses permission to read

Looks like there's something wrong with the app compilation maybe?

READ_PHONE_STATE, or something like that. They are available via
TelephonyManager, IIRC.
The emulator always returns null.

I'm using a Google Ion (aka HTC Magic) with firmware 1.6 and a

Yes, I'm aware of that. In fact any value I try to retrieve from
Settings.System and Settings.Secure on emulator is null (like
DATE_FORMAT).
I'm testing on the two devices previously mentioned, and although I
can use the same method to get any other property value, it always

Still, if I use your function I'll get the same string from different
devices of the same model.
Eg:
All users using Google Ion will return this string:
+ google_ion + a23456790112345b
It also doesn't matter if I use the class full name or not - and it
really shouldn't, but I tried it anyway
And my point is that you are not using the fully qualified path to the
ANDROID_ID. I KNOW my function works. That part is only there for use on
the emulator. Otherwise I would have many people complaining.
Feel free to use it or not. I was just trying to help. I saw a flaw in
your design
