import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.Settings.Secure;
import android.util.Log;

public class DevideIdActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
       
        String android_id = Secure.getString(this.getContentResolver(),
                Secure.ANDROID_ID);
       
        Log.d("Android","Android ID : "+android_id);
    }
}
