Get serial number to Lenovo tablet

Question

I am trying to get serial number of my Lenovo Tab in android. I tried

Method get = c.getMethod("get", String.class, String.class);
serialnum = (String) (get.invoke(c, "ro.serialno", "unknown"));

serial = Build.SERIAL;

ro.serialno and Build.SERIAL is giving a value as 0123456789ABCDEF, but the serial in status-> about Tablet is HLB04JSJ and the printed serial number in the back side of the tab is also HLB04JSJ.

Any suggestions, Thanks in advance.

Wow. I've seen the serial number "0123456789ABCDEF" on a cheap no-name Chinese tablet, but I thought Lenovo was aiming a little higher than that. — Kevin Krumwiede, Jun 08 '15 at 20:46
Could you explain your underlying use case. Why are you trying to get that number? — Stephan Branczyk, Jun 08 '15 at 21:36

Have you tried doing the following?

TelephonyManager tManager = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String serial= tManager.getDeviceId();

Also include the following permission in your Manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

Did you add the permission in your Manifest? – Bidhan Jun 08 '15 at 12:41
Yes i added this permission to my Manifest. – Abdalrhman Alghusain Jun 08 '15 at 12:44
As a note, many lenovo tablets do not have a proper telephony_service in their ROM and so this will not work. – Vic Vuci Sep 20 '16 at 17:49

That probably won't work. If the tablet is wifi-only, it won't have an imei. – Stephan Branczyk Jun 08 '15 at 21:37
systemproperties cannot be resolved, Is there any jar file to import systemproperties. – Abdalrhman Alghusain Jun 09 '15 at 06:36
did you Enter *#06# to be sure that your tablet has a serial number ? – khansa amrouni Jun 09 '15 at 09:57
