Get devices token?

Question

I'm trying to get the token of my device. Thought this:

ParseInstallation parseInstallation = new ParseInstallation();
    String deviceToken = (String) parseInstallation.get("deviceToken");

would do the trick, but it doesnt, it returns null. Why?

the device token, I want to save it in a database, so other devices can read it and send something to them. — Philip, Mar 28 '14 at 12:52
Your `get`-call should be made after `Parse.initialize` according to [a similar question](https://www.parse.com/questions/android-how-do-i-get-the-devicetoken) on parse.com — Peterino, Aug 04 '14 at 06:28

Read this. Hope this helps.

String android_id = Settings.Secure.getString(getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(),
                Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);

You can try getting the UUID or IMEI.

If you're on the Parse Developer Console: enter image description here

There exists no stable unique ID for an Android device. You can maybe work with the ANDROID_ID but it will change on OS Upgrade/System reset

so how do I get the device token to send a push over parse from device to device? – Philip Mar 28 '14 at 14:43
You get a unique push id for every registered device. just check the docs https://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html – meredrica Apr 01 '14 at 13:58

i'm using this code and it works for me! BUT device token is undefined for some devices in parse console (i don't know why!)

 String token = (String) ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().get("deviceToken");
