Is there anyway to get current signal strength on Android device. I know there is a way where you can listen for signal strength change, but i cannot wait and need to know the current signal strength. Any help would be appreciated.

Regards, B

You can register the PhoneStateListener and save the last updated value into a variable and access it whenever you need it. It is the closest approximation of signal strenght you can get in real time.

  • thanks for info slezadav. So you mean, there is no way I can get current signal strength without waiting for it to change. If I save the last updated position, I need to keep it updating as it might be old. This does not solve my purpose. Thanks anyways for reply – Androidme Nov 07 '12 at 14:45

you can download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat&hl=en from the app store on your device and while you move in and out of an ssid it will show you the signal strength pretty accurately. Hope this helps. Cheers.
