Inherited methods

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeoutMillis) Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

getRadioVersion

Added in API level 14

public static String getRadioVersion ()

Returns the version string for the radio firmware. May return null (if, for instance, the radio is not currently on).

Returns
String

getSerial

Added in API level 26

public static String getSerial ()

Gets the hardware serial number, if available.

Note: Root access may allow you to modify device identifiers, such as the hardware serial number. If you change these identifiers, you can not use key attestation to obtain proof of the device's original identifiers. KeyMint will reject an ID attestation request if the identifiers provided by the frameworks do not match the identifiers it was provisioned with.

Starting with API level 29, persistent device identifiers are guarded behind additional restrictions, and apps are recommended to use resettable identifiers (see Best practices for unique identifiers). This method can be invoked if one of the following requirements is met:

• If the calling app has been granted the READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE permission; this is a privileged permission that can only be granted to apps preloaded on the device.
• If the calling app has carrier privileges (see TelephonyManager.hasCarrierPrivileges()) on any active subscription.
• If the calling app is the default SMS role holder (see RoleManager.isRoleHeld(String)).
• If the calling app is the device owner of a fully-managed device, a profile owner of an organization-owned device, or their delegates (see DevicePolicyManager.getEnrollmentSpecificId()).

If the calling app does not meet one of these requirements then this method will behave as follows:

• If the calling app's target SDK is API level 28 or lower and the app has the READ_PHONE_STATE permission then Build.UNKNOWN is returned.
• If the calling app's target SDK is API level 28 or lower and the app does not have the READ_PHONE_STATE permission, or if the calling app is targeting API level 29 or higher, then a SecurityException is thrown.

Requires android.Manifest.permission.READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE

Returns
String	The serial number if specified.
