I'm an absolute beginner to android , I tried to create a small application that can display GSM Cellular tower details signal strength etc.. , As I mentioned above , I'm a novice to these applications ,I tried the code below using stack-overflow search results, however application crashes without starting.
i would be grateful if someone could help me ! Thanks.
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.telephony.PhoneStateListener;
import android.telephony.SignalStrength;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.telephony.gsm.GsmCellLocation;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
// TelephonyManager Tel;
MyPhoneStateListener MyListener;
private TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
private GsmCellLocation cellLocation = (GsmCellLocation)telephonyManager.getCellLocation();
private Button btnRefresh,btnClose,btnReset;
private TextView CellLocation,CellID,GSMCode,signalPow;
int cellid= cellLocation.getCid();
int celllac = cellLocation.getLac();
int signalST ;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
MyListener = new MyPhoneStateListener();
telephonyManager = ( TelephonyManager )getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
telephonyManager.listen(MyListener ,PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_SIGNAL_STRENGTHS);
btnRefresh = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnRefresh);
btnClose = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnClose);
btnReset = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnReset);
CellLocation = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtCellLocation);
CellID = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtBaseStation);
GSMCode = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtGSMLocation);
signalPow = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtSignalStr);
btnRefresh.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
signalPow.setText(Integer.toString(signalST));
CellLocation.setText(cellLocation.toString());
CellID.setText(Integer.toString(cellid));
// GSMCode.setText(Integer.toString(celllac));
}
});
}
@Override
protected void onPause()
{
super.onPause();
telephonyManager.listen(MyListener, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_NONE);
}
@Override
protected void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
telephonyManager.listen(MyListener,PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_SIGNAL_STRENGTHS);
}
public class MyPhoneStateListener extends PhoneStateListener
{
/* Get the Signal strength from the provider, each tiome there is an update */
@Override
public void onSignalStrengthsChanged(SignalStrength signalStrength)
{
super.onSignalStrengthsChanged(signalStrength);
// Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Go to Firstdroid!!! GSM Cinr = "
// + String.valueOf(signalStrength.getGsmSignalStrength()), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
signalST = signalStrength.getGsmSignalStrength();
//I have tried to assign signal strength to an integer and display onClik of a button
}
}

Move variable initialization (telephonyManager
, cellLocation
, cellid
, celllac
) into onCreate
, as logcat error says.
Important lines in logcat:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: System services not available to Activities before onCreate()
(what happened)
and
at com.example.gih.test1.MainActivity.<init>(MainActivity.java:18)
(where happened)
so you can see exact line where the problem lies (18). After correcting that line, you will get similar error for next line (cellLocation
). Then, if you try to start your app, you will get NullPointerException
for initialization of cellid
and and next time for celllac
. After moving everything inside your onCreate
, your app should work.
Log with combination of debug tells you everything (in your case, not always :) ).
