cordova-plugin-signal-strength

Apache Cordova Plugin to detect GSM Signal Strength

Supported Platforms

• Android

Installation

from npm repo: $ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-signal-strength

or from git repo: $ cordova plugin add https://github.com/petervojtek/cordova-plugin-signal-strength.git

Usage

The API has only one method window.SignalStrength.dbm(callback) which returns signal strength in dBm units (negative integer). Example

window.SignalStrength.dbm(
  function(measuredDbm){
    console.log('current dBm is: '+measuredDbm)
  }
)

you receive -1 as a result if the device is unable to measure dBm at the moment.

You should call the window.SignalStrength.dbm only after cordova platform is ready. Example in Ionic framework:

  $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
    window.SignalStrength.dbm(function(db){console.log(db)})
  });

Notes

• window.SignalStrength is undefined when testing your app on your PC while using ionic serve.
• when you call window.SignalStrength.dbm for the first time the device may respond with -1. Try calling the function again after some delay.
