If Api < 9 Then
'Old device ' like 2.3 version

Else
'New device - 3.0 and up...
id = r.GetStaticField("android.os.Build", "SERIAL")


Give it a try on old and new devices.... Proof is in the pudding.

Thanks

I see two different numbers but I don't understand where they come from... Your statement above is not very clear to me...
Is one from the actual phone itself (like in the About form from Settings menu)?

Which section did the code retrieve from (old -
id = p.GetSettings("android_id")

or new device method
id = r.GetStaticField("android.os.Build", "SERIAL")

What did the log say?

Anyway, I have noticed that the code fetches the number from the system somewhere - and it may not match what settings reports.
It could be a MAC of wifi chip or something unique. The code will always return the same number for the device it got it from.

So i use GetSetting(“android_id”) and your code
Ok?

The code I supplied let's the device decide what to return...
Api = r.GetStaticField("android.os.Build$VERSION", "SDK_INT")

I don't know if newer versions of the OS support the older GetSetting(“android_id”)... But hey, if it works for you - fill your boots!
