How to get the device serial number?

Navigation

I am using the following code to get the device serial number: 

String serial = Build.class.getField("SERIAL").get(null);

But the result is not the same when I check the serial number on the device.

According to the documentation you should use 

Build.getSerial();

which returns the hardware serial number, if available.

Requires API level 26 and requires READ_PHONE_STATE permission.

In previous versions use Build.SERIAL .

If the reason for getting Serial is to want to identify the device where the application is running consider what is said at Best practices for unique identifiers . It may also be useful: Changes to Device Identifiers in Android O .
