In MIT App inventor Application how to get the device id

Is there any way to get device Id using MIT App inventor?

I am using Activity starter from other stuff and setting properties like this:

  • Action: android.intent.action.ACTION_MAIN
  • Activity Class: TelephonyManager
  • Activity Package: android.telephony

Is this the correct process for getting the device id?

Solution

  • as Gary already mentioned, this is currently not possible with AI

    EDIT: However, you can identify a user with OAuth, see an example here http://puravidaapps.com/taifunOA.php. The user can authorize the app to get his email address for identification.

    UPDATE: now with the new Extension feature, you can use an extension to get this information, see also my answer here.
