Android Question Getting a device's IMEI

[AdorableApple]

I'm new to this as you can probably tell, but is there a way to display a devices IMEI, similar to what users do when they navigate to the settings about phone or dial *#06#

Basically want my app to launch and show that info

This is the code I'm trying to work with.

Sub GetDeviceIMEI As String
    Dim deviceUniqueIdentifier As String = ""
    Dim tm As TelephonyManager
    tm.Initialize

    ' Check if TelephonyManager is available
    If tm.IsInitialized Then
        deviceUniqueIdentifier = tm.GetDeviceId
    End If

    ' If IMEI is not available, use Android ID
    If deviceUniqueIdentifier = "" Then
        deviceUniqueIdentifier = Settings.Secure.GetString(ContentResolver, "android_id")
    End If

    Return deviceUniqueIdentifier
End Sub

It appears it's no longer possible: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/urgent-help-needed-imei.113923/#post-711456

Darn. What about using the USSD Code *#06#
Is it possible for an app to "dial" this code and show the settings screen with the IMEI info?

No.

This is the QR code I was talking about. I thought it navigated to the Settings but it doesn't. It opens the dialler and enters *#06#.
If you check the QR code its content is: tel:*#06#

Is there anyway to do this with an app?
