Get Cell RSSI(Network Signal Strength) on Android 1.5

Is there any way to retrieve the current cellular Signal Strength (RSSI) on Android 1.5?

I know there's a way to listen for signal strength updates through the TelephonyManager, but this seems to only give a "state," not a numeric value.

Is using the RSSI field on a neighboring cell fairly accurate? I'm guessing not, but I'm running out of ideas.

Solution

  • TelephonyManager.listen with flag LISTEN_SIGNAL_STRENGTHS
