Getting the Battery temperature and unit of the result

Question

I was reading how to get the temperature of the battery and I make small app, and in my receiver I have something like this

int temp = intent.getIntExtra("temperature", 0);

well , this temp have values like 390 or 380 something that is really big to be Celsius but I think that is big number even for Fahrenheit...

can someone please tall what is the unit, does it have a range and so on.

in the official documentation all I found was "integer containing the current battery temperature"

Thanks

Tempature is tenths of a degree Centigrade see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4860415/what-are-the-units-for-battery-temperature-and-voltage-when-intent-battery-action — ciscogambo, Oct 10 '11 at 21:04

the result is 1/10 of the value you get from the intent it means if you get 380 it is 38 degrees.
