Answer 1

Try this:

Class c = Class.forName("android.os.SystemProperties");
            Method get = c.getMethod("get", String.class, String.class);
            String serialNumber = (String) get.invoke(c, "net.hostname", "Error");
            if (serialNumber.equals("Error")) {
                serialNumber = (String) get.invoke(c, "net.hostname", "Error");
            }
