java - How to get Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID value without code?

Question

So I am basically making a business to business android application, and to prevent other people from using my app I decided to use the android secure ID, which I used this code to get:

String androidId = Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);

I was just wondering if there is any way for the client to get that ID themselves before download the app? Can it be found in the settings somewhere or is that not possible?

I tried to read a lot of articles online about this but couldn't find anything useful, thanks!

Maybe this answer will be of some help to you, https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/35659/where-can-i-find-the-android-id-on-my-device. The topmost answer says the following

You can do this via adb. Does not require root

shell@android:/ $ content query --uri content://settings/secure --projection value --where "name='android_id'"              


Row: 0 value=<your ID in hexadecimal>
