Get unique device id using Javascript
I have a website that will only be accessible on the Chrome browser. I want to get a unique identifier for a device (mainly android). This value should be similar to imei no. I want to get this value using javascript. Is there any way to get the unique ID of the device using javascript.

You can access the uuid device for this purpose
You can use Phonegap or MoSync
In Phonegap, you can use the Device Cordova Plugin
/* Android: Returns a random 64-bit integer (as a string, again!)
The integer is generated on the device first boot
BlackBerry: Returns the PIN number of the device
This is a nine-digit unique integer (as a string, though!)
iPhone: (Paraphrased from the UIDevice Class documentation)
Returns a string of hash values created from multiple hardware identifies.
It is guaranteed to be unique for every device and can't be tied
to the user account.
Windows Phone 7 : Returns a hash of device+current user,
if the user is not defined, a guid is generated and will persist until the app is uninstalled
Tizen: returns the device IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity or IMEI is a number
unique to every GSM and UMTS mobile phone. */
var deviceID = device.uuid;
In MoSync you can use Javascript API
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Device Properties Example</title>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="js/wormhole.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
// Wait for Wormhole to load
//
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
// Wormhole is ready
//
function onDeviceReady() {
var element = document.getElementById('deviceProperties');
element.innerHTML = 'Device Name: ' + device.name + '<br />' +
'Device Platform: ' + device.platform + '<br />' +
'Device UUID: ' + device.uuid + '<br />' +
'Device Version: ' + device.version + '<br />';
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="deviceProperties">Loading device properties...</p>
</body>
</html>
