Has anyone successfully grabbed Mac Address in Android before?

My client requests it, but google searches come up with not-so-useful content. Here's what I've tried:

Code (CSharp):

1.     string ReturnMacAddress()
2.    {
3.       string macAddr = "";
4.       if (mWifiManager == null)
5.       {
6.          using (AndroidJavaObject activity = new AndroidJavaClass("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer").GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("currentActivity"))
7.          {
8.             mWifiManager = activity.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getSystemService","wifi");
9.          }
10.       }
11.       macAddr = mWifiManager.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getConnectionInfo").Call<string>("getMacAddress");
12.       return macAddr;
13.   }

This one has a "permission to "access_wifi_state"" error which I'm assuming is XML related, but as far as I can tell, XML permission settings are for google play downloads only and my client won't be using google play.

Code (CSharp):

1.     private string GetMacAddress()
2.     {
3.         NetworkInterface[] nics = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
4.         string macAddress = "";
5.  
6.         foreach (NetworkInterface adapter in nics)
7.         {
8.             PhysicalAddress address = adapter.GetPhysicalAddress();
9.             byte[] bytes = address.GetAddressBytes();
10.             string mac = null;
11.             for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; i++)
12.             {
13.                 mac = string.Concat(mac + (string.Format("{0}", bytes[i].ToString("X2"))));
14.                 if (i != bytes.Length - 1)
15.                 {
16.                     mac = string.Concat(mac + "-");
17.                 }
18.             }
19.             macAddress += mac;
20.         }
21.         return macAddress;
22.     }

This one gets a "System.Net.NetworkInformation.GetAllNetworkInterfaces() Fails" which seems to be an old bug that got fixed for android 4.2.2+ but . . . well it doesn't work on my 4.4.2 tablet @_@

Any ideas? The darn thing is due in less than a week, any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

The first code you showed seems like the way to go. It still requires you to declare permissions in the AndroidManifest.xml (that is a file that describes certain things about your app/game to the Android OS). It is not related to the store or where you downloaded the game from.

 

Has Anyone successfully read a mac address on Android Device? I can Only make it work on my mac.

 

Android provides the APIs to access this information. You can call these APIs from Unity to get the MAC address. I can post the code that is required for that if you want that.

 

That would be great! please!

 

@liortal Would be great If you can post the code.

 

@liortal hi sir can you provide the code that can get the mac address on android?

 

I don't have such code. you can PM me and maybe i can assist you
