Android — get MEID from JNI

Question

I\'m working in Android, writing some JNI code, and I\'m looking for a way to query the Mobile Equipment Identifier (MEID) from the device.

I believe Dalvik implements all the same JNI interfaces that the JVM does, so while it's a bit fiddly, it's perfectly possible to make calls from native code through JNI to arbitrary Java classes and methods.

/* assuming you already have */
JNIEnv *env;
jobject context;
/* then call (with error-checking) */
jclass cls = (*env)->FindClass(env, "android/context/Context");
jmethodId mid = (*env)->GetMethodID(env, context_cls, "getSystemService",
    "(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/Object;");
jfieldID fid = (*env)->GetStaticFieldID(env, cls, "TELEPHONY_SERVICE",
    "Ljava/lang/String;");
jstring str = (*env)->GetStaticObjectField(env, cls, fid);
jobject telephony = (*env)->CallObjectMethod(env, context, mid, str);
cls = (*env)->FindClass(env, "android/telephony/TelephonyManager");
mid =(*env)->GetMethodID(env, cls, "getDeviceId", "()Ljava/lang/String;");
str = (*env)->CallObjectMethod(env, telephony, mid);
jsize len = (*env)->GetStringUTFLength(env, str);
char* deviceId = calloc(len + 1, 1);
(*env)->GetStringUTFRegion(env, str, 0, len, deviceId);
(*env)->DeleteLocalRef(env, str);
/* to get a string in deviceId */
