I use CellInfo to capture signal strength and ARFCN/UARFCN/EARFCN every second.
But, I think it is not very accurate. It is always worse -5 ~ -10 dBm than the signal strength displayed in Phone settings. Sometimes, I also got 0 or integer.MAX_VALUE. Is my code any problem or is there any other way to capture real signal strength?
var cellInfoList: List<CellInfo> = mTelephonyManager.allCellInfo
if (cellInfoList.isNotEmpty()) {
for (cellInfo in cellInfoList) {
if (cellInfo is CellInfoLte) {
val cellSignalStrengthLte = cellInfo.cellSignalStrength
val cellIdentityLte = cellInfo.cellIdentity
var arfcn = cellIdentityLte.earfcn
intSignalStrength = cellSignalStrengthLte.dbm
networkStatus = "${Integer.toString(intSignalStrength)} dBm | $arfcn"
} else if (cellInfo is CellInfoGsm) {
val cellSignalStrengthGsm = cellInfo.cellSignalStrength
val cellIdentityGsm = cellInfo.cellIdentity
var arfcn = cellIdentityGsm.arfcn
intSignalStrength = cellSignalStrengthGsm.dbm
networkStatus = "${Integer.toString(intSignalStrength)} dBm | $arfcn"
} else if (cellInfo is CellInfoWcdma) {
val cellSignalStrengthWcdma = cellInfo.cellSignalStrength
val cellIdentityWcdma = cellInfo.cellIdentity
var arfcn = uarfcnToBand(cellIdentityWcdma.uarfcn)
intSignalStrength = cellSignalStrengthWcdma.dbm
networkStatus = "${Integer.toString(intSignalStrength)} dBm | $arfcn"
} else if (cellInfo is CellInfoCdma) {
val cellSignalStrengthCdma = cellInfo.cellSignalStrength
intSignalStrength = cellSignalStrengthCdma.dbm
networkStatus = "${Integer.toString(intSignalStrength)} dBm"
}
}
}
I got the solution. The problem is at for loop. The latest signal strength is at first loop so the following loop will cover the result I need.
