Android Device Unique ID - Alternative to PhoneId

This is an old tutorial. It will not work on new versions of Android. You should either generate a random value when the app starts for the first time or use the advertising id: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/advertising-id.101050/#content This tutorial is based on the following blog...

What exactly do you want to achieve with this unique id?

You could generate a f.e. 64 chars long token at the very first start of the app. Of course this ID will be lost, if the user uninstalls the app or the device is lost/destroyed but then your have other options as you store the email address (like renew the token on a new device and the old token is deleted).

I've added a message in the tutorial about it being irrelevant now.
