DeviceID

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I need a unique id to identify a device.

system,getInfo( “deviceID” ) looks like it will do the job.

but how long can the value be?

i need to know for my database table, what size will definitley be long enough? 100 char?

The length of the device ID should be a fixed size for an given OS. But there is no guarantee that an Android deviceID and a Windows desktop ID will be the same length.  Most SQL databases support a variable length string which you should probably consider using.
