final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object.
final void	wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait(long millis) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.

Constants

public static final int UNKNOWN_CID

Added in API level 3

Cell location is not available

Constant Value: -1 (0xffffffff)

public static final int UNKNOWN_RSSI

Added in API level 3

Signal strength is not available

Constant Value: 99 (0x00000063)

Fields

Public Constructors

public NeighboringCellInfo ()

Added in API level 3

This constructor was deprecated in API level 5.
by NeighboringCellInfo(int, String, int)

Empty constructor. Initializes the RSSI and CID. NeighboringCellInfo is one time shot for the neighboring cells based on the radio network type at that moment. Its constructor needs radio network type.

public NeighboringCellInfo (int rssi, int cid)

Added in API level 3

This constructor was deprecated in API level 5.
by NeighboringCellInfo(int, String, int)

Initialize the object from rssi and cid. NeighboringCellInfo is one time shot for the neighboring cells based on the radio network type at that moment. Its constructor needs radio network type.

public NeighboringCellInfo (int rssi, String location, int radioType)

Added in API level 7

Initialize the object from rssi, location string, and radioType radioType is one of following TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_GPRS, TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_EDGE, TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_UMTS, TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSDPA, TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSUPA, and TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSPA.

public NeighboringCellInfo (Parcel in)

Added in API level 3

Initialize the object from a parcel.

Public Methods

public int describeContents ()

Added in API level 3

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable's marshalled representation.

Returns

a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshalled by the Parcelable.

public int getCid ()

Added in API level 3

Returns

cell id in GSM, 0xffff max legal value UNKNOWN_CID if in UMTS or CDMA or unknown

public int getLac ()

Added in API level 5

Returns

LAC in GSM, 0xffff max legal value UNKNOWN_CID if in UMTS or CMDA or unknown

public int getNetworkType ()

Added in API level 5

Returns

Radio network type while neighboring cell location is stored. Return TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_UNKNOWN means that the location information is unavailable. Return TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_GPRS or TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_EDGE means that Neighboring Cell information is stored for GSM network, in which NeighboringCellInfo.getLac and NeighboringCellInfo.getCid should be called to access location. Return TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_UMTS, TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSDPA, TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSUPA, or TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSPA means that Neighboring Cell information is stored for UMTS network, in which NeighboringCellInfo.getPsc should be called to access location.

public int getPsc ()

Added in API level 5

Returns

Primary Scrambling Code in 9 bits format in UMTS, 0x1ff max value UNKNOWN_CID if in GSM or CMDA or unknown

public int getRssi ()

Added in API level 3

Returns

received signal strength or UNKNOWN_RSSI if unknown For GSM, it is in "asu" ranging from 0 to 31 (dBm = -113 + 2*asu) 0 means "-113 dBm or less" and 31 means "-51 dBm or greater" For UMTS, it is the Level index of CPICH RSCP defined in TS 25.125

public void setCid (int cid)

Added in API level 3

This method was deprecated in API level 5.
cid value passed as in location parameter passed to constructor NeighboringCellInfo(int, String, int)

Set the cell id. NeighboringCellInfo is a one time shot for the neighboring cells based on the radio network type at that moment. It shouldn't be changed after creation.

public void setRssi (int rssi)

Added in API level 3

This method was deprecated in API level 5.
initial rssi value passed as parameter to constructor NeighboringCellInfo(int, String, int)

Set the signal strength of the cell. NeighboringCellInfo is a one time shot for the neighboring cells based on the radio network type at that moment. It shouldn't be changed after creation.

public String toString ()

Added in API level 3

Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation is equivalent to the following expression:

   getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

See Writing a useful toString method if you intend implementing your own toString method.

Returns

a printable representation of this object.

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, int flags)

Added in API level 3

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters

dest	The Parcel in which the object should be written.
flags	Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or `PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE`.
