android cell id -

i cid cell phone , using code :

gsmcelllocation gsmlocation = (gsmcelllocation)telephonymanager.getcelllocation();                  int cid = gsmlocation.getcid();                  log.e("#############","current cid is: "+cid);                  int lac = gsmlocation.getlac();                  log.e("#############","current lac is: "+lac); 

this returns 301 or 6061.

i browsing example codes , found :

/**  * seems cid , lac shall in hex. cid should padded zero's  * 8 numbers if umts (3g) cell, otherwise 4 numbers. mcc padded 3  * numbers. mnc padded 2 numbers.  */ try {  // update current location  updatelocation(getpaddedhex(cid, cellpadding), getpaddedhex(lac, 4),    getpaddedint(mnc, 2), getpaddedint(mcc, 3));  strresult = "position updated!"; } catch (ioexception e) {  strresult = "error!\n" + e.getmessage(); }  // show info toast results of updatelocation // call. toast t = toast.maketext(getapplicationcontext(), strresult,   toast.length_long); t.setgravity(gravity.center_vertical, 0, 0); t.show();}}); }  /**  * convert int hex string , pad 0's minlen.  */ string getpaddedhex(int nr, int minlen) {   string str = integer.tohexstring(nr);   if (str != null) {    while (str.length() < minlen) {     str = "0" + str;    }   }   return str;  }   /**   * convert int string , pad 0's minlen.   */  string getpaddedint(int nr, int minlen) {   string str = integer.tostring(nr);   if (str != null) {    while (str.length() < minlen) {     str = "0" + str;    }   }   return str;  } 

isn't number gsmcelllocation correct or need alter results shown in example? difference? know documentation cid -1 (unknown) or 0xffff max value, 0xffff 2g or 3g networks?

that code doesn't alter numbers. it's displaying them differently hex or more zeros on left.
