Dear library what do you recommend to get the imei of my android device, or any unique identifier of the device?
@sonichel===
see here : https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/TelephonyManager#getImei(int)
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;
}
@sonichel===
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)
@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?
