blackberry detect imei no. when any link is clicked

Question

How can I get the IMEI number when user clicks on a link form his/her blackberry? Maybe I can pass data to a php. Can somebody throw some light on how can I achieve this? Thanks you in advance.

i don't think thats even remotely possible – Hanky Panky Jan 04 '13 at 06:38 — Hanky Panky, Jan 04 '13 at 06:38
if you get the click event, then you can use my answer. – Rince Thomas Jan 04 '13 at 06:43 — Rince Thomas, Jan 04 '13 at 06:43

This will programatically get the imei number.

private String getIMEINumber() {

  byte[] imeiByteArray = net.rim.device.api.system.GPRSInfo.getIMEI();

  String imei = net.rim.device.api.system.GPRSInfo.imeiToString(imeiByteArray);

  imeiByteArray = null;

  return imei;

}

Thanks for your reply. I know this. But what I want to do is that when the user clicks on a link then I could get his/her Imei no. This should be possible in some way. Can anybody help. Thanks a lot. – nikita sharma Jan 04 '13 at 06:47
is it possible to get the click event of url? – Rince Thomas Jan 04 '13 at 06:49
inside your app or third party app ? – Rince Thomas Jan 04 '13 at 06:50
link can be in any browser or mail – nikita sharma Jan 04 '13 at 06:55
so you have to know wether the user is clicked the link or not. Is it possible to get that ? – Rince Thomas Jan 04 '13 at 06:59

You cannot get the IMEI without handling it in your own application.

One way would be to write an application that can handle a custom url. See this: How to launch an application from the browser in BlackBerry

Your application could essentially handle this in the background.
