How to get IMEI number in PhoneGap?

Question

I'm developing a PhoneGap Android mobile application using jQuery, JavaScript and HTML. I want to get the mobile IMEI. I have tried this code from this Tutorial.

I am getting the number like this: 97734a345d234d. I have checked my device to get IMEI number using *#06#. I don't know whether it is correct or not.

Fetch the IMEI number in the class which extends DroidGap class and save the value of imei number in static member and then access this static field from where ever you want... example code is here

public class MyApp extends DroidGap
{
    private static String imei; 
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
        TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
        imei=tm.getDeviceId();
    }
    static public String getIMEI(){
        return imei;
    }
}
// where ever u need imei number use this code

String imei=MyApp.getIMEI();
