Question
public String getSubscriberId(){
operator = (TelephonyManager)context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String IMSI = operator.getSubscriberId();
return IMSI;
}
simID = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text2);
simIMSI = getSubscriberId().toString();
if (simIMSI.equals("")){
simID.setText("No SIM card detected!");
}
else{
simID.setText(simIMSI.toString());
SaveUniqueId(simIMSI.toString());
}
I wish to retrieve the phone SIM card IMSI and display in a layout, I run the program using an emulator even though I know emulator does not have SIM card attached but it should have result like "No SIM card detected" right? But why I get error for this coding or is it something wrong in my "getSubscriberId()"?
Solution
String serviceName = Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE;
TelephonyManager m_telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(serviceName);
Now let's start with actual source code to retrieve the information:-
public String findDeviceID() {
String deviceID = null;
String serviceName = Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE;
TelephonyManager m_telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(serviceName);
int deviceType = m_telephonyManager.getPhoneType();
switch (deviceType) {
case (TelephonyManager.PHONE_TYPE_GSM):
break;
case (TelephonyManager.PHONE_TYPE_CDMA):
break;
case (TelephonyManager.PHONE_TYPE_NONE):
break;
default:
break;
}
deviceID = m_telephonyManager.getDeviceId();
return deviceID;
}

use following code for IMSI
String imsi = android.os.SystemProperties.get(android.telephony.TelephonyProperties.PROPERTY_IMSI);
This code should work.
String myIMSI =
android.os.SystemProperties.get(android.telephony.TelephonyProperties.PROPERTY_IMSI);
