String getDeviceID1(TelephonyManager phonyManager){
    String id = phonyManager.getDeviceId();
    if (id == null){
        id = "not available";
    }
    int phoneType = phonyManager.getPhoneType();
    switch(phoneType){
        case TelephonyManager.PHONE_TYPE_NONE:
            return "" + id;

        case TelephonyManager.PHONE_TYPE_GSM:
            return "" + id;

        case TelephonyManager.PHONE_TYPE_CDMA:
            return "" + id;

        /*
        *  for API Level 11 or above
        *  case TelephonyManager.PHONE_TYPE_SIP:
        *   return "SIP";
        */

        default:
            return "" + id;
    }

    //I used to show IMEI 

    TextView textDeviceID = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.deviceid);
    //retrieve a reference to an instance of TelephonyManager
    TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
    textDeviceID.setText(getDeviceID1(telephonyManager));
}

@Eric, its not a Duplicate Quetsion, its **Not a Real Question**. — Lucifer, Aug 30 '12 at 05:12
@Lucifer The way he words it, it sounds like he wants to change it to get a *different* unique device ID, which is covered in that post... So, I guess it depends how you interpret the question. Either way, a vote to close is a vote to close. — Cat, Aug 30 '12 at 05:14
@Lucifier : He doesn't want to change IMEI. He means to say that he has successfully implemented the program to get the IMEI. He is asking for what to change in the program to get Unique device ID instead of IMEI. — androidFan, Aug 30 '12 at 05:16
@Lucifer I mean, I don't wanna show anymore IMEI in my app. I have to show android unique device id. — ArnoHlaMoe, Aug 30 '12 at 05:16
@Eric, not duplicate question. I read Is there a unique Android device ID?..Post but I don't know how to change in my script. I am beginner. Please help me. — ArnoHlaMoe, Aug 30 '12 at 05:23

In Android, you can get three different Unique Ids.

IMEI ( which you have in your code already )

TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String id =  (getDeviceID1(telephonyManager));

Device ID

String android_id = Secure.getString(getContext().getContentResolver(),
                                                Secure.ANDROID_ID);

Bluetooth Address ( this will also be unique for each device )

private BluetoothAdapter mBtAdapter;

// Get the local Bluetooth adapter
mBtAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
String deviceMacAddress = mBtAdapter.getAddress();

I mean where I should add bluetooth address script to my script. – ArnoHlaMoe Aug 30 '12 at 06:56
of course, add it where you required a unique id. – Lucifer Aug 30 '12 at 07:27
CAUTION!!!! According to the documentations, The value of `ANDROID_ID` may change if a factory reset is performed on the device – Bob Jun 25 '14 at 11:41
