i have a bit of an issue retrieving the uuid in android. I've seen the documentation the method that needs to be called to retrieve it but when i call that function, i cannot see that id being retrived

Andriod UUID is not being retrieved

[david_nwosu]

This is my method. mContext.getSharedPreferences("tealium.sp",0).getAll(). This outputs all the data in the object. This is the result {extension={"trackVideo":"true" "sort":"0" "scope":"global" "status":"active" "trackIvars":"true" "appid":"" "customTracking":"true" "type":"new" "mobileCompanionOn":"true" "powerSaveCallLimit":"0" "id":"100030" "title":"No Title" "_id":"1" "mobilePowerSaveOn":"false" "trackAllEvents":"true" "notes":"" "trackAllViews":"true"} config_loaded=true published_at=1406903400000}

David,

The method you're using retrieves the library's remote configuration from the Mobile Library Manager Extension found in your TIQ account. To access the UUID info, and any other globalCustomData info, see the following example:

// Prints out all Tealium GlobalCustomData
Map keys = Tealium.getGlobalCustomData().getAll(); 
for(Map.Entry entry : keys.entrySet()){ 
Log.v("TEALIUM MAP",
entry.getKey() + ": " + entry.getValue().toString()); 
} 

// Print out UUID specifically 
Log.v("TEALIUM UUID", Tealium.getGlobalCustomData().getString("uuid", null)); 

Output:

Replace the Log.v's with a variable assignment to use this data.
