Can Settings.Secure.Android_ID be null?

Question

I'm looking to use Settings.Secure.Android_ID in my app. However I was wondering if it could ever be null. According to one of the answers on the topic in 2010 it could be null (Is there a unique Android device ID?). However the Android official doc does not mention anything about its nullability.

I was wondering if anyone has used it and can clarify this?

Thanks

It happens very rarely but yes it happens on Blackview devices. I can see NullPointerException in crashlytics for this brand only for this setting.
