Hi Mark
Mark M.
Howdy!
Scott Q.
I have a quick question for you
Mark M.
Go right ahead
Scott Q.
Thanks - about a year ago you were posting in the forums looking for a way to get a unique device ID without requiring read phone data permission
Scott Q.
how did you resolve that?
Gaurav K.

Mark M.
ANDROID_ID
Scott Q.
ok, I saw that thread

Mark M.
You can get it through android.provider.Settings.Secure
Gaurav K.
Hi Mark,
Mark M.
Howdy, Gaurav!
Gaurav K.
I am trying to implement voice recognition on the emulator
Mark M.
@Scott
Mark M.
Scott Quinney: It's null on the emulator, a hex string on most phones, and a non-hex string on the ARCHOS 5 Android tablet.
Gaurav K.
i have read many threads on the web about implementing this
Scott Q.
it ended up giving you a unique unchanging ID regardless of MAC or any other variable?
Mark M.
@Guarav: I have not attempted to use the voice recognition APIs, let alone on the emulator
Mark M.
Scott Quinney: Well, it gave me something plausibly unique. I don't have an infinite number of devices to try it out... ;-)
Scott Q.
sure :) -- I just want to make sure it doesn't ever change on a single device
Mark M.
Scott Quinney: Bear in mind, though, that ANDROID_ID is actually stored in a SQLite table, so rooted phones can definitely mess with it.
Scott Q.
ok, good to know
Scott Q.
Thats all for me -- thanks!
Gaurav K.
Mark, are there any other pointers you could give me for the voice recognition on the emulator
Mark M.
@Guarav Not really. Heck, I don't even know how to fake getting microphone input on the emulator, let alone getting voice recognition to use it.
Mark M.
@Guarav: I usually use hardware when I get to stuff like that.

ok, well thanks anyway

Mark M.
@Guarav Sorry I could not be of more assistance on that specific topic.
Gaurav K.
not a problem. I will be back if I have any more questions!
Mark M.
Sounds good!
