I am developing an application in Cordova which requires to get the IMEI number of any device programatically. Cordova Provides the UUID number but that won't work for me, I need IMEI number.
Or is there any plugin to get the IMEI Number directly?
"IMEI PhoneGap Plugin in Android" it gives custom plugin that only work for the android I need plugin which support for both android as well as ios.
"How to programmatically get the devices IMEI/ESN in Android" it gives java code for the android so how do I convert java code in angularjs?
Is there any plugin available or not? It simple as that.
Simplest way to get IMEI in android device only
$ cordova plugin add https://github.com/vliesaputra/DeviceInformationPlugin.git
The above listed is cordova plugin to get device information. get method of that plugin
generate a JSON In which you can see your android device’s IMEI number.
Using code:
var deviceInfo = cordova.require("cordova/plugin/DeviceInformation");
deviceInfo.get(
function(result) {
console.log("result = " + result);
},function() {
console.log("error");
});
Without using code:
- In device’s hardware where you insert your SIM
- In device’s Setting->About phone->Status->IMEI OR (SIM status ->
IMEI)
- Dial: *#06#
IMEI number is actually SIM card port number. so you can not access IMEI number of SIM-LESS devices. (ex.:- without SIM tablet)
You've been linked to how to do it in Android. It is not possible in iOS - Apple does not permitt it. UUID will have to do.
Another cordova plugin not mentioned here is cordova-plugin-imei
https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-imei
Example:
window.plugins.imei.get(
function(imei) {
console.log("got imei: " + imei);
},
function() {
console.log("error loading imei");
}
);
