How to get ANDROID_ID with Frida


The ANDROID_ID is unique in each application in Android.

To get the ANDROID_ID with Java inside Android I amd using this code:

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.ContentResolver;
import android.provider.Settings;
protected void onCreate(...) {
  context = (Context)this;
  String androidId = Settings.Secure.getString((ContentResolver)context.getContentResolver(), (String)"android_id");
}

But I want to run it inside some other application on my andoird phone.
I wanted to use Frida for this.

I am loading my injected script with Python:

import frida
device = frida.get_usb_device()
pid = device.spawn(["com.target.app"])
device.resume(pid)
time.sleep(1) #Without it Java.perform silently fails
session = device.attach(pid)
script = session.create_script(open("jsfrida.js").read())
script.load()

#prevent the python script from terminating
raw_input()

But inside my script I don't understand how to call it, this is what I tried:

Java.perform(function (){
  console.log("Inside java perform function");
  var ActivityThread = Java.use('android.app.ActivityThread');
  var Context = Java.use('android.content.Context');
  var settings = Java.use('android.provider.Settings.Secure');
  var ctx = Java.cast(ActivityThread.currentApplication().getApplicationContext(), Context);
  //console.log(ctx.getPackageName());
  //console.log(ctx.getContentResolver());
  var androidId = settings.Secure.getString(ctx.getContentResolver(), "android_id");
  console.log(androidId);
  console.log("END");
 });

But it doesn't print the androidId, it only prints:

Script loaded successfully 
Inside java perform function

Solution

    • Secure is inner class so you need to use $
    • To get CotentResolver you can invoke getContentResolver without casting.
    $ frida -Uf com.app.example --no-pause
