Measuring cellular strength in Ionic Framework


In the Ionic framework, is there a way to read the current cellular signal strength & other data (currently connected tower, band, etc..) via the Ionic APi?

Thanks!


Solution

  • Ionic is a frontend framework so no you can't read low level network related data via its API. Also if you are referring to ionic-native, thats only a wrapper around the APIs exposed by different cordova plugins to provide some convenience features such as autocomplete, promise-callbacks and change-detection out of the box.

    What you can do is searching for a cordova-plugin which can deliver this kind of information (for example: cordova-plugin-signal-strength (Android only)). Another possibility is to create your own plugin and implement the native parts yourself.
