IMEI "unknown" on android X86

I have created a virtual machine using Virtual Box that is running android X86. I obtained the .iso image from here http://www.android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-8-1-rc2 I have tried to run my apk and NullPointerException occurs every time when I'm attempting to get the IMEI from the TelephyManger. Here is my code:

   final TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

    String imei = "" + tm.getDeviceId();

In the native settings screen I noticed that the serial number is not available (see screen-shot below) enter image description here

Does anyone know how to get the IMEI in android X86?

Solution

  • Based on @TheWanderer answer the telephony.getDeviceId() is expected to return null.
