 int lac = state.getLac();

and its giving error that PhoneStateIntentReceiver cannnot resolved to type and getcellid and getlac is also giving errorthat getcellid is undefined for ServiceState

Answer 1

use this to get cid and Lac

 final TelephonyManager telephony = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if (telephony.getPhoneType() == TelephonyManager.PHONE_TYPE_GSM) {
    final GsmCellLocation location = (GsmCellLocation) telephony.getCellLocation();
    if (location != null) {
        msg.setText("LAC: " + location.getLac() + " CID: " + location.getCid());
    }
}
