How to check network strength

suggest change

To check exact strength in decibels use this-

ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo Info = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    if (Info == null || !Info.isConnectedOrConnecting()) {
        Log.i(TAG, "No connection");
    } else {
        int netType = Info.getType();
        int netSubtype = Info.getSubtype();

        if (netType == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI) {
            Log.i(TAG, "Wifi connection");
            WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getApplication().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
            List<ScanResult> scanResult = wifiManager.getScanResults();
            for (int i = 0; i < scanResult.size(); i++) {
                Log.d("scanResult", "Speed of wifi"+scanResult.get(i).level);//The db level of signal 
            }

            // Need to get wifi strength
        } else if (netType == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE) {
            Log.i(TAG, "GPRS/3G connection");
            // Need to get differentiate between 3G/GPRS
        }
    }

To check Network type use this Class-

public class Connectivity {
       /*
        * These constants aren't yet available in my API level (7), but I need to
        * handle these cases if they come up, on newer versions
        */
       public static final int NETWORK_TYPE_EHRPD = 14; // Level 11
       public static final int NETWORK_TYPE_EVDO_B = 12; // Level 9
       public static final int NETWORK_TYPE_HSPAP = 15; // Level 13
       public static final int NETWORK_TYPE_IDEN = 11; // Level 8
       public static final int NETWORK_TYPE_LTE = 13; // Level 11

   /**
    * Check if there is any connectivity
    * 
    * @param context
    * @return
    */
   public static boolean isConnected(Context context) {
       ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context
               .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
       NetworkInfo info = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
       return (info != null && info.isConnected());
   }

   /**
    * Check if there is fast connectivity
    * 
    * @param context
    * @return
    */
   public static String isConnectedFast(Context context) {
       ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context
               .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
       NetworkInfo info = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();

       if ((info != null && info.isConnected())) {
           return Connectivity.isConnectionFast(info.getType(),
                   info.getSubtype());
       } else
           return "No NetWork Access";

   }
