GUID or Unique Identifier/Key

[niqpw]

Hi

Is there any way to generate a GUID, as is possible in VB?

I would like to create an identifier, which can be generated on a phone and must be unique (i.e. no one else would produce the same one, even on the same device), so any other suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

IMEI ?

Phone GetDeviceID

Nice try! But it has to be unique each time the user uses the app.

I guess something like this as a string:

You can do this with the Reflection library:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Dim key As String
    key = GetUniqueKey
End Sub

Sub GetUniqueKey
    Dim r As Reflector
    r.Target = r.RunStaticMethod("java.util.UUID", "randomUUID", Null, Null)
    Return r.RunMethod("toString")
End Sub

Thanks Erel, exactly what I was looking for :sign0098:
