How to measure GPS signal strength on Android?

by

Are you sure you mean signal strength vs. accuracy? What good is the signal strength? Since the GPS position is determined via many satellites, you don’t have “one” signal strength.

So assuming that you really mean signal strength, you can get the GpsStatus via LocationManager.getGpsStatus(), and that gives you a list of satellites via getSatellites()‘, and each one of those has a signal-to-noise ratio (getSnr()).

Assuming you mean accuracy, try Location.getAccuracy().
