Remarks
Gets the device ID this context is associated with. Applications can use this method to determine whether they are running on a virtual device and identify that device.
The device ID of the host device is Context#DEVICE_ID_DEFAULT
If the underlying device ID is changed by the system, for example, when an Activity is moved to a different virtual device, applications can register to listen to changes by calling Context#registerDeviceIdChangeListener(Executor, IntConsumer).
This method will only return a reliable value for this instance if it was created with Context#createDeviceContext(int), or if this instance is a UI or Display Context. Contexts created with Context#createDeviceContext(int) will have an explicit device association, which will never change, even if the underlying device is closed or is removed. UI Contexts and Display Contexts are already associated with a display, so if the device association is not explicitly given, Context#getDeviceId() will return the ID of the device associated with the associated display. The system can assign an arbitrary device id value for Contexts not logically associated with a device.
