are you using java 8 or 11?
i test with java8 without any error
clean project and check lib version(1.6)

Java 11. Which seems to be the problem. It works for me too with Java 8.
I'm just testing with a basic non-ui app:
B4X: Copy 
'Non-UI application (console / server application)
Sub Process_Globals
    Private uid As Padina_Lib
End Sub

Sub AppStart (Args() As String)
    Log("Hello world!!!")
    Log(uid.Get_CPUID )
    Log( uid.Get_HddID1 )
    Log( uid.Get_HddID2 )
    Log ( uid.Get_MachineID )
    Log ( uid.Get_MacId )
    Log ( uid.Get_MotherboardSN )
End Sub

Good job
What kind of hardware do the last two functions Get_HWID1 and Get_HWID2 detect?
Click to expand...

Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors() + System.getenv("PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER") + System.getenv("PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE") + System.getenv("PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432") + System.getenv("NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS");
 
Hi behnam, i would like to point out that in the Windws Xp 32 bit environment, using B4J 7.32 + Jdk 1.8.0.40 x86, the library is unable to return the functions:
- Get_HddID2
- Get_machineID
As soon as the functions are recalled, the program stops and it is no longer possible to continue

Some methods may not be available on different hardware or operating systems. You can and should use other methods or a combination of methods that have the correct output.

B4X: Copy 
Sub get_serial As String
    
    Dim pdd As Padina_Lib
    Dim sr As String=pdd.Get_MotherboardSN
    If sr<>Null And Not(sr.Contains("O.E.M")) Then
        sr=pdd.Get_MotherboardSN
    
    Else If pdd.Get_CPUID<>Null Then
        sr = pdd.Get_CPUID
    
    Else If pdd.Get_MachineID<>Null Then
        sr=pdd.Get_MachineID
    
    Else If pdd.Get_HddID1<>Null Then
        sr=pdd.Get_HddID1
    
    Else If pdd.Get_HddID2<>Null Then
        sr=pdd.Get_HddID2
        
    Else If pdd.Get_MacId<>Null Then
        sr=pdd.Get_MacId
        
    End If
    
   Return sr

Is there a way to have the hard drive "serial number" come back raw or not "from signed 2's complement?"

For example, using Get_HddID1, this hard drive serial ID, AAA4-7A65, is coming back as -1432061339, but I need it as 2862905957.

Having it in the raw hexadecimal would also work.

I need it as an unsigned int...

hi
check new method added (p.Get_HddId3)
update v2.1
(if i understand correctly!!)

New method return something like this : 5600-F7E6
and you can convert to anything that you want.

Yes! Perfect.

One more thing... PCs can have multiple drives. Is there a way we can specify which drive we want to get the serial number of?

Like
Code: Copy 
Sub Get_HddId(myDriveLetter As String) As String

Code: Copy 
Log(Get_HddId("C"))
'or
Log(Get_HddId("C:"))
'or
Log(Get_HddId("C:\"))

One of those... ?
 
@B4XDev Hi there... if it is Windows, you can do it alone... with just a "cmd" command...

this will return all serial numbers of drives... (ofcourse there is the old command, vol c:, vol d: )
Code: Copy 
wmic diskdrive get serialnumber

you can run these commands with jshell.

Ofcourse all these before behnam_tr include them all into his lovely lib.. :)

ps: actually you will see a small difference... that wmic will return the real serial number, and not that setted by user/os (vol)
