Answer 1

The following code snippet might help lot of you in current cases.

Add this method in your code:

fun getIdThread() {
    var adInfo: AdvertisingIdClient.Info? = null
    try {
        adInfo = AdvertisingIdClient.getAdvertisingIdInfo(this)
    } catch (e: IOException) {
        // Unrecoverable error connecting to Google Play services (e.g.,
        // the old version of the service doesn't support getting AdvertisingId).
    } catch (e: GooglePlayServicesAvailabilityException) {
        // Encountered a recoverable error connecting to Google Play services.
    } catch (e: GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException) {
        // Google Play services is not available entirely.
    }
    val id: String = adInfo?.id.orEmpty()
    val isLAT: Boolean = adInfo?.isLimitAdTrackingEnabled?.orFalse() == true
}

And call from separate thread as like below.

Thread{
   getIdThread()
}.start()

This simple snippet will give you the AD ID. Even if the user resets the advertising ID.

Note: [Don't forget to declare ad ID permission in your manifest]

Answer 2

For Kotlin code

Thread{
        AdvertisingIdClient.getAdvertisingIdInfo(activity).id?.let {
            Log.i("myId",it)
        }
    }.start()

Answer 3

The first Step, get AdvertisingIdClient

public class AdvertisingIdClient extends Object Helper library for retrieval of advertising ID and related information such as the limit ad tracking setting.

It is intended that the advertising ID completely replace existing usage of other identifiers for ads purposes (such as use of ANDROID_ID in Settings.Secure) when Google Play Services is available. Cases, where Google Play Services is unavailable, are indicated by a GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException being thrown by getAdvertisingIdInfo().

Code >>>

@SuppressLint("StaticFieldLeak")
AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> task = new AsyncTask<Void, Void, String>() {
    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
        String token = null;
        AdvertisingIdClient.Info adInfo = null;
        try {
            adInfo = AdvertisingIdClient.getAdvertisingIdInfo(getApplicationContext());
        } catch (IOException | GooglePlayServicesRepairableException | GooglePlayServicesNotAv
            // ...
            MessageLog.setLogCat("DEVICE_ID",""+e);
        }
        String android_id = adInfo.getId();
        MessageLog.setLogCat("DEVICE_ID",android_id);
        return android_id;
    }
    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String token) {
        MessageLog.setLogCat("DEVICE_ID","DEVICE_ID Access token retrieved:" + token);
    }
};
task.execute();
