Android android.provider.Settings.Secure is not a hex value

Android document says that android.provider.Settings.Secure:

A 64-bit number (as a hex string) that is randomly generated when the user first sets up the device and should remain constant for the lifetime of the user's device.

However, when I call this method:

String hardware_id = Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(), Secure.ANDROID_ID);

it returns a 16 digit number. Shouldn't it return a 64 digit hex?

The documentation states that it returns a 64-bit hex value, not a 64 digit hex value. With a hex digit representing four bits (24 = 16), a 64-bit hex value is 16 hex characters.
