title: why emulator giving IMEI number 000000000000000
body: <p>I found many post regarding this but not properly given answer.
  My application needs IMEI number ,i did that but it is showing 000000000000000(15 zero's).
  it is working fine with device but i want it run properly on my emulator.
  i want some unique number except these zero.
  if any programitically solution here .post your answer's.
  i have to set this number instead of (15 zeros) &quot;352373051009616&quot;</p>
