This is the code I have so far that gathers the strength value, but when I try to print it in the main activity the emulator does not open the app. How would I fix this? My emulator is in API 29. On the emulator, it simply opens and then goes back to the home screen. I am also unsure of what to declare context to in the main. I currently have it set to null. My goal is to get the cellular signal strength from a cell phone and have this update multiple times every second within an app that I would create on the phone.
public class SignalStrengthCdma extends Object implements Parcelable {
public static String getSignalStrength(Context context) throws SecurityException {
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String strength = null;
List<CellInfo> cellInfos = telephonyManager.getAllCellInfo(); //This will give info of all sims present inside your mobile
if(cellInfos != null) {
for (int i = 0 ; i < cellInfos.size() ; i++) {
if (cellInfos.get(i).isRegistered()) {
if (cellInfos.get(i) instanceof CellInfoWcdma) {
CellInfoWcdma cellInfoWcdma = (CellInfoWcdma) cellInfos.get(i);
CellSignalStrengthWcdma cellSignalStrengthWcdma = cellInfoWcdma.getCellSignalStrength();
strength = String.valueOf(cellSignalStrengthWcdma.getDbm());
} else if (cellInfos.get(i) instanceof CellInfoGsm) {
CellInfoGsm cellInfogsm = (CellInfoGsm) cellInfos.get(i);
CellSignalStrengthGsm cellSignalStrengthGsm = cellInfogsm.getCellSignalStrength();
strength = String.valueOf(cellSignalStrengthGsm.getDbm());
} else if (cellInfos.get(i) instanceof CellInfoLte) {
CellInfoLte cellInfoLte = (CellInfoLte) cellInfos.get(i);
CellSignalStrengthLte cellSignalStrengthLte = cellInfoLte.getCellSignalStrength();
strength = String.valueOf(cellSignalStrengthLte.getDbm());
} else if (cellInfos.get(i) instanceof CellInfoCdma) {
CellInfoCdma cellInfoCdma = (CellInfoCdma) cellInfos.get(i);
CellSignalStrengthCdma cellSignalStrengthCdma = cellInfoCdma.getCellSignalStrength();
strength = String.valueOf(cellSignalStrengthCdma.getDbm());
}
}
}
}
return strength;
}
}
