@shoaibmirza===

just have a look here :: [https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/SignalStrength](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/SignalStrength)

that is easy to code but the results are not so precise (bad…good…); depends of what you are looking for!

What do you mean with that? As akenaton mention, it depends on your requirements. You need to become familiar with the technology to see if it suits your needs. For that, you can do your research on internet. Check what others are saying in stackoverflow or read over GSM documentation.
