Get device’s IMEI in Android app development

Here’s the content of my MainActivity class where I log the IMEI of my test device.

package net.catzie.playground;

import android.content.Context;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.util.Log;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
        String deviceID = telephonyManager.getDeviceId();
        Log.d(“Device IMEI”, deviceID);
    }
}

package net.catzie.playground;

import android.content.Context;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;

import android.util.Log;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

String deviceID = telephonyManager.getDeviceId();

Log.d(“Device IMEI”, deviceID);

}

You also need to add this permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE” />

1	<uses–permission android:name=“android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE” />

Place it inside the <manifest></manifest> tag, but same level as <application></application>.
