Android API 29 Permission Error READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE [duplicate] - android

I am getting the IMEI ID null from the telephonymanager. What to do?
is there any workaround for that?

Android Q has restricted to access for both IMEI and serial no. It is available only for platform and apps with special carrier permission. Also the permission READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE is not available for non platform apps.
If you try to access it throws below exception
java.lang.SecurityException: getImeiForSlot: The user 10180 does not meet the requirements to access device identifiers.
Please refer documentation:

I am late to post answer. I still believe my answer will help someone.
Android 10 Restricted developer to Access IMEI number.
You can have a alternate solution by get Software ID. You can use software id as a unique id. Please find below code as i use in Application.
public static String getDeviceId(Context context) {
String deviceId;
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
deviceId = Settings.Secure.getString(
context.getContentResolver(),
Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
} else {
final TelephonyManager mTelephony = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if (mTelephony.getDeviceId() != null) {
deviceId = mTelephony.getDeviceId();
} else {
deviceId = Settings.Secure.getString(
context.getContentResolver(),
Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
}
}
return deviceId;
}

This just would not work as of Android Q. Third party apps can not use IMEI nor the serial number of a phone and other non-resettable device identifiers.
The only permissions that are able to use those is READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE and that cannot be used by any third party apps - Manufacture and Software Applications. If you use that method you will get an error Security exception or get null .
You can still try to get a unique id by using:
import android.provider.Settings.Secure;
private String android_id = Secure.getString(getContext().getContentResolver(),Secure.ANDROID_ID);

The best way to get the IMEI number is as follows:
public static String getIMEIDeviceId(Context context) {
String deviceId;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q)
{
deviceId = Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
} else {
final TelephonyManager mTelephony = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
if (context.checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return "";
}
}
assert mTelephony != null;
if (mTelephony.getDeviceId() != null)
{
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
{
deviceId = mTelephony.getImei();
}else {
deviceId = mTelephony.getDeviceId();
}
} else {
deviceId = Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
}
}
Log.d("deviceId", deviceId);
return deviceId;
}
Just copy the method and use it. It will definitely. However, you might know you can't get IMEI in android Q (version 10). In this code, you can get a unique identifier (alternative id) through any device or any API level.
It works 100%
Thank You!!
And Enjoy Coding :)

As the best practices suggest. " you can avoid using hardware identifiers, such as SSAID (Android ID) and IMEI, without limiting required functionality."
Rather go for an instance ID such as String uniqueID = UUID.randomUUID().toString(); or FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getId();

Not sure about IMEI number, but you can get the simSerialNumber and other carrier info this way.
getSimSerialNumber() needs privileged permissions from Android 10 onwards, and third party apps can't register this permission.
See : https://developer.android.com/about/versions/10/privacy/changes#non-resettable-device-ids
A possible solution is to use the TELEPHONY_SUBSCRIPTION_SERVICE from Android 5.1, to retrieve the sim serial number. Steps below:
Check for READ_PHONE_STATE permission.
Get Active subscription list.( Returns the list of all active sim cards)
Retrieve the sim details from Subscription Object.
if ( isPermissionGranted(READ_PHONE_STATE) ) {
String simSerialNo="";
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1) {
SubscriptionManager subsManager = (SubscriptionManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SUBSCRIPTION_SERVICE);
List<SubscriptionInfo> subsList = subsManager.getActiveSubscriptionInfoList();
if (subsList!=null) {
for (SubscriptionInfo subsInfo : subsList) {
if (subsInfo != null) {
simSerialNo = subsInfo.getIccId();
}
}
}
} else {
TelephonyManager tMgr = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
simSerialNo = tMgr.getSimSerialNumber();
}
}
Check if this helps

you can change other way, i use uuid to replace devices id.
String uniquePseudoID = "35" +
Build.BOARD.length() % 10 +
Build.BRAND.length() % 10 +
Build.DEVICE.length() % 10 +
Build.DISPLAY.length() % 10 +
Build.HOST.length() % 10 +
Build.ID.length() % 10 +
Build.MANUFACTURER.length() % 10 +
Build.MODEL.length() % 10 +
Build.PRODUCT.length() % 10 +
Build.TAGS.length() % 10 +
Build.TYPE.length() % 10 +
Build.USER.length() % 10;
String serial = Build.getRadioVersion();
String uuid = new UUID(uniquePseudoID.hashCode(), serial.hashCode()).toString();
AppLog.d("Device ID",uuid);

If your app targets Android 10 or higher, a SecurityException occurs.
Following modules are affected...
Build
getSerial()
TelephonyManager
getImei()
getDeviceId()
getMeid()
getSimSerialNumber()
getSubscriberId()
So you cant get IMEI no for android 10 , You have to used another unique identifier for this like Android ID
It unique 64 bit hex no for device
private String android_id = Secure.getString(getContext().getContentResolver(),
Secure.ANDROID_ID);

According to google docs.
Restriction on non-resettable device identifiers
Starting in Android 10, apps must have the READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE privileged permission in order to access the device's non-resettable identifiers, which include both IMEI and serial number.
Caution: Third-party apps installed from the Google Play Store cannot
declare privileged permissions.
So, Instead of imei you can get Android unique ID.
String imei = "";
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
if (checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
if (telephonyManager != null) {
try {
imei = telephonyManager.getImei();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
imei = Settings.Secure.getString(this.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
}
}
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE}, 1010);
}
} else {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
if (telephonyManager != null) {
imei = telephonyManager.getDeviceId();
}
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE}, 1010);
}
}

Targeting Android Q, third party apps can't access IMEI at all. Android Q doc is misleading while stating
Starting in Android Q, apps must have the READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE
privileged permission in order to access the device's non-resettable
identifiers, which include both IMEI and serial number.
https://developer.android.com/preview/privacy/data-identifiers#device-ids
But when I actually tried to implement it, I am receiving this exception:
java.lang.SecurityException: getDeviceId: The user 10132 does not meet the requirements to access device identifiers.
Someone had reported this on google's issue tracker where a Googler said that this is intended behaviour and IMEI on Q+ is only available for system level apps.
Status: Won't Fix (Intended Behavior) This is Working As Intended.
IMEI is a personal identifier and this is not given out to apps as a
matter of policy. There is no workaround.

They mentioned:
If your app is the device or profile owner app, you need only the READ_PHONE_STATE permission to access non-resettable device identifiers, even if your app targets Android 10 or higher.
I tried deploying via EMM as device owner app but not success.

If you needed, you can try to install a work profile in to the mobile phone and include your app in the same package or vice versa.
I tried and it works, it's simple if yo follow this repo: https://github.com/googlesamples/android-testdpc
When you install the Work Profile your app is installed in this profile and you will have acces to the IMEI.
And now there is another example fixed yesterday to Android 10:

Check telephonyManager.getDeviceId() returns a Real value or not

Requirement
One android device one account. To restrict user creating multiple accounts in a single device.
What I had done
During Log in, With the help of telephonyManager.getDeviceId() I am getting the IMEI number of an android device. Then I am checking this with all IMEI number stored in my server Database.
But after impementing
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) this.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String IMEINo = telephonyManager.getDeviceId();
I got many IMEI numbers that's fake.
For example I checked in https://www.imei24.com for "272052651704884".
The result was "Given IMEI 272052651704884 is not correct. Control amount is false. The last digit of the IMEI number is generated based on Luhna formula."
After doing many research I came to know that if you are cloaning the App using Parallel Space or any othrt such, telephonyManager.getDeviceId() returns a fake value.
After 7 long months I found a solution to this problem. That is Lunh Algorithm, which perform some calculation and tells weather it is a valid IMEI or not.
What I Need: A suggestion for weather I should blindly rely on The Lunh Algorithm or not.
I think you should try this it will works. I found real IMEI number with getDeviceId()
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,
Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
String IMEI_Number = null;
if (telephonyManager != null) {
IMEI_Number = telephonyManager.getDeviceId();
}
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
String Imei0Id = null;
if (telephonyManager != null) {
Imei0Id = telephonyManager.getDeviceId(0);
}
if (null != Imei0Id && !Imei0Id.equals("000000000000000")) {
IMEI_Number = Imei0Id;
}
}
Use an immutable universally unique identifier (UUID). A UUID represents a 128-bit value.
UUID.randomUUID().toString()

Will TelephonyManger.getDeviceId() return device id for Tablets like Galaxy Tab...?

I want to get the device id that will be unique for each Android device. I am presently developing for a Tablet device. Want to get unique device id and store the corresponding values...
So, i want to know whether Tablet devices will return a value if i use TelephonyManager.getDeviceId()...???Or is there any other value that is unique for each device???
TelephonyManger.getDeviceId() Returns the unique device ID, for example, the IMEI for GSM and the MEID or ESN for CDMA phones.
final TelephonyManager mTelephony = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String myAndroidDeviceId = mTelephony.getDeviceId();
But i recommend to use:
Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID that returns the Android ID as an unique 64-bit hex string.
String myAndroidDeviceId = Secure.getString(getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(), Secure.ANDROID_ID);
Sometimes TelephonyManger.getDeviceId() will return null, so to assure an unique id you will use this method:
public String getUniqueID(){
String myAndroidDeviceId = "";
TelephonyManager mTelephony = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if (mTelephony.getDeviceId() != null){
myAndroidDeviceId = mTelephony.getDeviceId();
}else{
myAndroidDeviceId = Secure.getString(getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(), Secure.ANDROID_ID);
}
return myAndroidDeviceId;
}
This is not a duplicate question. As it turns out, Google's CTS require that getPhoneType of TelephonyManager needs to be none and getDeviceId of TelephonyManager needs to be null for non-phone devices.
So to get IMEI, please try to use:
String imei = SystemProperties.get("ro.gsm.imei")
Unfortunately, SystemProperties is a non-public class in the Android OS, which means it isn't publicly available to regular applications. Try looking at this post for help accessing it: Where is android.os.SystemProperties
Since Android 8 everything's changed. You should use Build.getSerial(), to get the serial number of the device and add the permission READ_PHONE_STATE.
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
serial = Build.getSerial(); // Requires permission READ_PHONE_STATE
} else {
serial = Build.SERIAL; // Will return 'unknown' for device >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O
}
And get the IMEI or MEID this way:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
String imei = tm.getImei(); // Requires permission READ_PHONE_STATE
serial = imei == null ? tm.getMeid() : imei; // Requires permission READ_PHONE_STATE
} else {
serial = tm.getDeviceId(); // Requires permission READ_PHONE_STATE
}

How to get the device's IMEI/ESN programmatically in android?

To identify each devices uniquely I would like to use the IMEI (or ESN number for CDMA devices). How to access this programmatically?
You want to call android.telephony.TelephonyManager.getDeviceId().
This will return whatever string uniquely identifies the device (IMEI on GSM, MEID for CDMA).
You'll need the following permission in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
in order to do this.
That being said, be careful about doing this. Not only will users wonder why your application is accessing their telephony stack, it might be difficult to migrate data over if the user gets a new device.
Update: As mentioned in the comments below, this is not a secure way to authenticate users, and raises privacy concerns. It is not recommended. Instead, look at the Google+ Login API if you want to implement a frictionless login system.
The Android Backup API is also available if you just want a lightweight way to persist a bundle of strings for when a user resets their phone (or buys a new device).
In addition to the answer of Trevor Johns, you can use this as follows:
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
telephonyManager.getDeviceId();
And you should add the following permission into your Manifest.xml file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
In emulator, you'll probably get a like a "00000..." value. getDeviceId() returns NULL if device ID is not available.
I use the following code to get the IMEI or use Secure.ANDROID_ID as an alternative, when the device doesn't have phone capabilities:
/**
* Returns the unique identifier for the device
*
* #return unique identifier for the device
*/
public String getDeviceIMEI() {
String deviceUniqueIdentifier = null;
TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) this.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if (null != tm) {
deviceUniqueIdentifier = tm.getDeviceId();
}
if (null == deviceUniqueIdentifier || 0 == deviceUniqueIdentifier.length()) {
deviceUniqueIdentifier = Settings.Secure.getString(this.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
}
return deviceUniqueIdentifier;
}
Or you can use the ANDROID_ID setting from Android.Provider.Settings.System (as described here strazerre.com).
This has the advantage that it doesn't require special permissions but can change if another application has write access and changes it (which is apparently unusual but not impossible).
Just for reference here is the code from the blog:
import android.provider.Settings;
import android.provider.Settings.System;
String androidID = System.getString(this.getContentResolver(),Secure.ANDROID_ID);
Implementation note: if the ID is critical to the system architecture you need to be aware that in practice some of the very low end Android phones & tablets have been found reusing the same ANDROID_ID (9774d56d682e549c was the value showing up in our logs)
From: http://mytechead.wordpress.com/2011/08/28/how-to-get-imei-number-of-android-device/:
The following code helps in obtaining IMEI number of android devices :
TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String device_id = tm.getDeviceId();
Permissions required in Android Manifest:
android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
NOTE: In case of tablets or devices which can’t act as Mobile Phone
IMEI will be null.
to get IMEI (international mobile equipment identifier)
public String getIMEI(Activity activity) {
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) activity
.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
return telephonyManager.getDeviceId();
}
to get device unique id
public String getDeviceUniqueID(Activity activity){
String device_unique_id = Secure.getString(activity.getContentResolver(),
Secure.ANDROID_ID);
return device_unique_id;
}
For Android 6.0+ the game has changed so i suggest you use this;
The best way to go is during runtime else you get permission errors.

Hope this helps you or someone.
As in API 26 getDeviceId() is depreciated so you can use following code to cater API 26 and earlier versions
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String imei="";
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 26) {
imei=telephonyManager.getImei();
}
else
{
imei=telephonyManager.getDeviceId();
}
Don't forget to add permission requests for READ_PHONE_STATE to use the above code.
UPDATE:
From Android 10 its is restricted for user apps to get non-resettable hardware identifiers like IMEI.
New Update:
For Android Version 6 And Above, WLAN MAC Address has been deprecated , follow Trevor Johns answer
Update:
For uniquely Identification of devices, You can Use Secure.ANDROID_ID.
Old Answer:
Disadvantages of using IMEI as Unique Device ID:
IMEI is dependent on the Simcard slot of the device, so it is not
possible to get the IMEI for the devices that do not use Simcard.
In Dual sim devices, we get 2 different IMEIs for the same device as it has 2 slots for simcard.
You can Use The WLAN MAC Address string (Not Recommended For Marshmallow and Marshmallow+ as WLAN MAC Address has been deprecated on Marshmallow forward. So you'll get a bogus value)
We can get the Unique ID for android phones using the WLAN MAC address also. The MAC address is unique for all devices and it works for all kinds of devices.
Advantages of using WLAN MAC address as Device ID:
It is unique identifier for all type of devices (smart phones and
tablets).
It remains unique if the application is reinstalled
Disadvantages of using WLAN MAC address as Device ID:
Give You a Bogus Value from Marshmallow and above.
If device doesn’t have wifi hardware then you get null MAC address,
but generally it is seen that most of the Android devices have wifi
hardware and there are hardly few devices in the market with no wifi
hardware.

The method getDeviceId() of TelephonyManager 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.

Permission Required
READ_PHONE_STATE in manifest file.
You can use this TelephonyManager TELEPHONY_SERVICE function to get unique device ID,
Requires Permission: READ_PHONE_STATE
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
Example, the IMEI for GSM and the MEID or ESN for CDMA phones.
/**
* Gets the device unique id called IMEI. Sometimes, this returns 00000000000000000 for the
* rooted devices.
**/
public static String getDeviceImei(Context ctx) {
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) ctx.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
return telephonyManager.getDeviceId();
}
Return null if device ID is not available.
Try this(need to get first IMEI always)
TelephonyManager mTelephony = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(LoginActivity.this,Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE)!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
if (mTelephony.getPhoneCount() == 2) {
IME = mTelephony.getImei(0);
}else{
IME = mTelephony.getImei();
}
}else{
if (mTelephony.getPhoneCount() == 2) {
IME = mTelephony.getDeviceId(0);
} else {
IME = mTelephony.getDeviceId();
}
}
} else {
IME = mTelephony.getDeviceId();
}
Use below code gives you IMEI number:
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
System.out.println("IMEI::" + telephonyManager.getDeviceId());
The method getDeviceId() is deprecated.
There a new method for this getImei(int)
Check here
You'll need the following permission in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
To get IMEI (international mobile equipment identifier) and if It is above API level 26 then we get telephonyManager.getImei() as null so for that, we use ANDROID_ID as a Unique Identifier.
public static String getIMEINumber(#NonNull final Context context)
throws SecurityException, NullPointerException {
TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String imei;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
assert tm != null;
imei = tm.getImei();
//this change is for Android 10 as per security concern it will not provide the imei number.
if (imei == null) {
imei = Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
}
} else {
assert tm != null;
if (tm.getDeviceId() != null && !tm.getDeviceId().equals("000000000000000")) {
imei = tm.getDeviceId();
} else {
imei = Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
}
}
return imei;
}
For Android 10 Following code is working for me.
val uid: String = Settings.Secure.getString(ctx.applicationContext.contentResolver, Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID)
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(ctx, Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
imei = when {
Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q -> {
uid
}
Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O -> {
telephonyManager.imei
}
else -> {
telephonyManager.deviceId
}
}
}
for API Level 11 or above:
case TelephonyManager.PHONE_TYPE_SIP:
return "SIP";
TelephonyManager tm= (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
textDeviceID.setText(getDeviceID(tm));
Kotlin Code for getting DeviceId ( IMEI ) with handling permission & comparability check for all android versions :
val telephonyManager = getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE) as TelephonyManager
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE)
== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Permission is granted
val imei : String? = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) telephonyManager.imei
// older OS versions
else telephonyManager.deviceId
imei?.let {
Log.i("Log", "DeviceId=$it" )
}
} else { // Permission is not granted
}
Also add this permission to AndroidManifest.xml :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/> <!-- IMEI-->
use below code:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
String[] permissions = {Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE};
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
requestPermissions(permissions, READ_PHONE_STATE);
}
} else {
try {
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
String imei = telephonyManager.getDeviceId();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
And call onRequestPermissionsResult method following code:
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case READ_PHONE_STATE:
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
try {
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
String imei = telephonyManager.getDeviceId();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Add following permission in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
For those looking for a Kotlin version, you can use something like this;
private fun telephonyService() {
val telephonyManager = getSystemService(TELEPHONY_SERVICE) as TelephonyManager
val imei = if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 26) {
Timber.i("Phone >= 26 IMEI")
telephonyManager.imei
} else {
Timber.i("Phone IMEI < 26")
telephonyManager.deviceId
}
Timber.i("Phone IMEI $imei")
}
NOTE: You must wrap telephonyService() above with a permission check using checkSelfPermission or whatever method you use.
Also add this permission in the manifest file;
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
There is no Way you can get imei number from andorid 10+ or 29+ mobiles here is the alternative function that will be used for creating imei number for devices.
public static String getDeviceID(){
String devIDShort = "35" + //we make this look like a valid IMEI
Build.BOARD.length()%10+ Build.BRAND.length()%10 +
Build.CPU_ABI.length()%10 + Build.DEVICE.length()%10 +
Build.DISPLAY.length()%10 + Build.HOST.length()%10 +
Build.ID.length()%10 + Build.MANUFACTURER.length()%10 +
Build.MODEL.length()%10 + Build.PRODUCT.length()%10 +
Build.TAGS.length()%10 + Build.TYPE.length()%10 +
Build.USER.length()%10 ; //13 digits
return devIDShort;
}
Restriction on non-resettable device identifiers
Starting in Android 10, apps must have the READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE privileged permission in order to access the device's non-resettable identifiers, which include both IMEI and serial number.
