Report RNC-ID and CellId instead of LCID #53

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Log cells

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Radiobeacon currently reports the LCID which is a concatenation of the RNC-ID 
(2 bytes, radio network controller) and CellID (4 bytes) instead of the actual 
cellid (CID). While LCID is the Android default value returned by getCellId, it 
makes perfect sense to report RNC-ID and cell id separately.

In the past we recorded the LCID as 'cell id', so I prefer to add to additional 
fields for RNC-ID and the actual cell id, so we don't brake backward 
compatibility here

r76cd47755011 added rnc and actual cell id instead of just lcid.

Actual cell id and RNC are now displayed in UI as well as in the cell xml files 
(tag 'act_id' and 'rnc' there). For backward compatibility the 'id' tag is 
unchanged, meaning it still contains the lcid. 

For GSM cells there's no difference between lcid or actual cell id so both 
fields have the same value.
