I am attempting to write an application that acquires and displays the Android device IDs for purposes of push notification.

According to the tutorial, I should be able to do this:

alert(PushNotification.getDeviceUniqueIdentifier());

Unfortunately, this never worked for me. After much trial and error, I was able to finally get the snippet shown below to work:

window.plugins.pushNotification.getDeviceUniqueIdentifier(function(id){ alert(id); });

Unfortunately, even this has stopped working! I get a “Class Not Found” error. Can anyone help? What is the proper technique for getting this identifier?

Thanks!!

Hi James,

To access deviceID on Device Ready event (Page Load and Page Show won't work) you can use the following JavaScript code:
codedevice.uuid/code
In Appery.io the following code is also available:
codePushNotification.getDeviceUniqueIdentifier();/code
This can be used on device only.

Thank you! Your last sentence turned out to be the key: I had to actually install an APK file on an Android device for this to work. Once I did that, all of these techniques for getting device ID began working.

Hi,

Can you explain where the 'PushNotification.getDeviceUniqueIdentifier();' goes?

Or 'window.plugins.pushNotification.getDeviceUniqueIdentifier(function(id){ alert(id); }); '

Hello Jean we have changed the mechanism for obtaining pushNotificationDeviceID. Please look at this documentation:
