Answer 1

Try ANDROID_ID. As documentation says "[it] is randomly generated on first boot and should remain constant for the lifetime of the device".

Answer 2

I use adb. First I list the attached device ID numbers with the following command:

adb devices

And the output will look something like this:

List of devices attached
YOGAA1BBB412    device

From the previous output, you will need the device ID number (eg: YOGAA1BBB412). To get the Device ID, I use the following adb command:

adb -s YOGAA1BBB412 shell getprop | grep product.model

And the output looks like this:

[ro.product.model]: [Lenovo YT3-X90F]

Answer 3

Use getprop net.hostname which has an Android unique Id followed by keyword android-<64 bit Hexadecimal String>

example:

[net.hostname]: [android-a487e0560d669e4a]

Answer 6

you should probably use IMEI:

    TelephonyManager m = (TelephonyManager) context
            .getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
    String imei = m != null ? m.getDeviceId() : null;
