Get Cell RSSI(Network Signal Strength) on Android 1.5

Is there any way to retrieve the current cellular Signal Strength (RSSI) on Android 1.5?

I know there's a way to listen for signal strength updates through the TelephonyManager, but this seems to only give a "state," not a numeric value.

Is using the RSSI field on a neighboring cell fairly accurate? I'm guessing not, but I'm running out of ideas.

+1 A:

TelephonyManager.listen with flag LISTEN_SIGNAL_STRENGTHS

I'm attempting to wire in a listener service for this (and other broadcast information - like battery) right now. I'll let you know how it goes.

It seems that there is some kind of API change between the Android Versions. The answer to this question should give you some points to look further into this.

Yes, I saw this post, but that person indicated that the information was not accurate, but I was not sure in what way it was not accurate. I would take kind-of right information over no information at this point.
