Dear library what do you recommend to get the imei of my android device, or any unique identifier of the device?

Thx akenaton. I am new in processing and I am learning to program, regarding the link that you sent me that library should use to obtain the imei?
String IMEI;
void start(){
IMEI = getImei ();
println(IMEI);
}
@sonichel===
not so simple ! - You have to import TelephonyManager for that : code snippet below
import android.os.Build;
import android.content.Context;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
Context ctx;
public String IME="";
public String SN="";
void setup(){
size(800,600);
background(255,0,0);
ctx = this.getActivity().getApplicationContext();
IME= getIme();
}
void draw(){
background(255,0,0);
textSize(18);
text("IME=====" + IME, 100,200);
text ("SERIAL NUMBER====="+ SN, 100,500);
}
public String getIme(){
TelephonyManager tm;
tm=(TelephonyManager)this.getActivity().getSystemService(ctx.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
//String imei = tm.getImei();///FOR DEVICES >>26//uncomment if your device is in this case
SN = Build.SERIAL;///for all devices
String IM=tm.getDeviceId(); ////for devices <<26,now deprecated; comment if your OS device is more recent
return IM;
}

deprecated for >=oreo: in this case use Build.getSerial()
Yet this code has to work (as for the other warning you can get easily rid of it creating some static method)

great now it seems to work getSerial … but it throws me this error … and in the android tablet says “the IMEI application has stopped working”
@sonichel===
add “READ_PHONE_STATE” permission to your sketch on runtime
@sonichel===
- we cannot read your error, dont put a picture, cut & copy
- yet probably this error is fired because you dont ak the permission on runtime: after Mashmallow “pernicious” permissions cannot be set only adding them to the Manifest.
@sonichel==== dont change the code, the error you get now is another one!!!
ok, I went back to how I should be … I enabled the permission “READ_PHONE_STATE” and in ctx.TELEPHONY_SERVICE appears "The static field Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE should be accessed in a static way… and on line 30 String IM = tm.getDeviceId (); it indicates me “The method getDeviceId() from the type TelephonyManager is deprecated”.
when compiling I throw the following:

@sonichel===
i have already explained that you have to get this permission on runtime and i think you have not asked for it: manifest has no sense in this type of cas (“dangerous permissions”) since Mashmallow…
deprecated has not any importance with android.
where do I give permission to “dangerous permissions” ??? should I declare it in the sketch setup or in the Sketch Permissions menu?
