Ok I just tried with my one and only activity, still returns null: class MyActivity extends Activity { private String mId;
@Override public void onCreate(..) { mId = Settings.Secure.getString(this, ...); } } I just pop it up via a dialog box, tried looking at it in LogCat too (with phone hooked up), same. I'm stumped!
