Does Android have a UDID like IPhone? If yes, is there a way I can get it programatically?

Thanks Chris

It's very easy to get the Android UDID - check out the following code:

public class DemoActivityActivity extends Activity {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) this.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

    Log.d(">>>>", "Android ID: " + Secure.getString(getContentResolver(), Secure.ANDROID_ID));
    Log.d(">>>>", "Device ID : " + tm.getDeviceId());

}

For getting the Device ID you have to set following permission in AndroidManifest.xml:

For getting the Android ID you don't need to set any permission.
