  /**
   * Returns a unique UUID for the current android device. As with all UUIDs,
   * this unique ID is "very highly likely" to be unique across all Android
   * devices. Much more so than ANDROID_ID is.
   * 
   * The UUID is generated by using ANDROID_ID as the base key if appropriate,
   * falling back on TelephonyManager.getDeviceID() if ANDROID_ID is known to be
   * incorrect, and finally falling back on a random UUID that's persisted to
   * SharedPreferences if getDeviceID() does not return a usable value.
   * 
   * In some rare circumstances, this ID may change. In particular, if the
   * device is factory reset a new device ID may be generated. In addition, if a
   * user upgrades their phone from certain buggy implementations of Android 2.2
   * to a newer, non-buggy version of Android, the device ID may change. Or, if
   * a user uninstalls your app on a device that has neither a proper Android ID
   * nor a Device ID, this ID may change on reinstallation.
   * 
   * Note that if the code falls back on using TelephonyManager.getDeviceId(),
   * the resulting ID will NOT change after a factory reset. Something to be
   * aware of.
   * 
   * Works around a bug in Android 2.2 for many devices when using ANDROID_ID
   * directly.
   * 
   * @see http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10603
   * 
   * @return a UUID that may be used to uniquely identify your device for most
   *         purposes.
