Calculating the volume of a sphere after switching to spherical coordinates?

I used the code in the second answer on this page to switch from Cartesian to Spherical coordinates and integrate a function over the sphere. I would like to use this code to calculate the volume of a sphere. However if I set $ f(x, y, z) = 1 $, I get the following output:




$ -frac{1}{3}r^3 varphicos(theta) $




Here is the code I used:



Needs["VectorAnalysis`"]

JacobianDeterminant[Spherical[r, θ, ϕ]]

f[x_, y_, z_] := 1

Integrate[
f @@ CoordinatesToCartesian[#, Spherical @@ #] JacobianDeterminant[
Spherical @@ #] &@{r, θ, ϕ},
r, θ, ϕ]


How can I make the code return the volume of a sphere which is $frac{4}{3}pi r^3$?

          Integrate[
          f @@ CoordinatesToCartesian[#, Spherical @@ #] JacobianDeterminant[Spherical @@ #] &@{r, θ, ϕ},

          ]



          (4 π R^3)/3




          That is, you just have to add the integral boundaries.

            f[x_, y_, z_] := 1

              Employing most of your own code;



              Integrate[
              f @@ CoordinatesToCartesian[#, Spherical @@ #] JacobianDeterminant[Spherical @@ #] &@{r, θ, ϕ},
              {r, 0, R}, {θ, 0, π}, {ϕ, -π, π}
