Is there any way to get CELL ID for the current Location. I find there is an API GsmCellLocation for getting CELL ID? But does this get initialized.

Thanks in advance,

Shashank

mTelephoneManager = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
GsmCellLocation location = (GsmCellLocation) mTelephoneManager.getCellLocation();
location.getCid();

Is this the correct way of getting Cell ID. I want to have the current cell ID rather than getting cell ID only on location change??

If that location represents the Cell provider, then you can request an update, and obtain the value right now with:

And then read the value.

And for the description, instead of using the CID, you can obtain a readable description with

But maybe you're more interested on this:

But I don't find anything related to Cell id in these APIs

So the toString() value could be used as Cell Id?

The CellID is what you posted in the second message.

But I didn't know if what you were searching for was an Operator ID or what, that's why I suggested you the other link.
