openudid's Issues

OpenUDID initialized callback

Hi, I want to propose a little improvment

This is the updated code with a callback that is fired when the OpenUDID is ready: https://gist.github.com/StErMi/4713735

Null Open UDID

In some cases, the udid value is null.

generateOpenUDID() Issue generating Same UDID on WiFi

Method

private void generateOpenUDID()

seems to generate UDIDs like

WIFIMAC:10:A5:D0:FD:F3:37 
WIFIMAC:40:0E:85:2C:DD:F4 
WIFIMAC:D4:20:6D:40:22:33

for all the users of these 3 WiFi networks for certain phone models like

 manufacturer/HTC brand/tmous model/HTC Sensation 4G
 manufacturer/samsung brand/samsung model/SGH-M919

So, this brings UDIDs to overlap in the same WiFi area.

other app make the whole service process fail

Some apps that are trying to use OpenUDID_manager implented it in a wrong way.

For instance, the application packaged as net.p4p.chestthrows a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "org.OpenUDID.OpenUDID_service"

This cause the following code in startService() to fail, unable to continue with other available services, and to get a valid UDID:

try { // try added by Lionscribe
    mContext.bindService(i, this, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
} catch (SecurityException e) {
     startService(); // ignore this one, and start next one
}

I tried to add Exception and Error catch, with no success.
Any clue on how to avoid such cases ?

Security Exception on new Galaxy Devices

OpenUDID throws a security exception when it attempts to bind to services on the Galaxy S4. You can read about it at Countly/countly-sdk-android#9. This is obviously due to a Samsung app responding to the intent, but having a custom permission set on it. I have posted a simple fix on the above referenced page, and I am copying it here. I believe it should be incorporated into OpenUDID ASAP.

Edit OpenUUID_manager.java file
Replace the following lines in the startService function

mContext.bindService(i, this, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
mMatchingIntents.remove(0);
with

mMatchingIntents.remove(0);
try { // try added by Lionscribe
mContext.bindService(i, this, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}
catch (SecurityException e) {
startService(); // ignore this one, and start next one
}
