How do I get Android Device ID or IMEI?

The following code snippets shows you how to get a Device ID of an Android phone. To be able to read the Device ID you need to update the AndroidManifest.xml file and add the READ_PHONE_STATE permission.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          package="org.kodejava.android">

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

    ...
    ...
</manifest>

package org.kodejava.android;

import android.Manifest;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.os.Build;
import android.provider.Settings;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.util.Log;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.core.app.ActivityCompat;
import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private static final int PERMISSIONS_READ_PHONE_STATE = 1;

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

        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE}, PERMISSIONS_READ_PHONE_STATE);
        }

        String deviceId = null;

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
            deviceId = Settings.Secure.getString(getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
        } else {
            TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
            if (telephonyManager.getImei() != null) {
                deviceId = telephonyManager.getImei();
            } else if (telephonyManager.getMeid() != null) {
                deviceId = telephonyManager.getMeid();
            }
        }

        Log.d("MyApp", "Device ID: " + deviceId);
    }
}
