I am trying to enter "location controls" for my device in android eclipse. The problem is that the input fields for this is disabled so I can't enter anything.
I HAVE selected my device.
btw. i have tried to enter location controls for a physical device and a virtual device (GenyMotion), but i's the same either way.
I hope anyone have a solution for this
Genymotion provides a shell that enables you to script the modification of sensor states.
gps activate
Activate the GPS sensor (if not already activated)
gps setlatitude
Set latitude (and activate GPS if not allready activated)
gps setlongitude
Set longitude (and activate GPS if not allready activated)
Or you can open the GPS widget that comes with it :
The GPS widget allows real time activation and modifications of the position,accuracy and orientation.
More info here
Try this
open a command shell
conect to the emulator with the command: telnet
localhost
to enter a fixed location execute the command: geo fix <longitude> <latitude> [<altitude>]

I am using Android 5.1.1 on lenovo p70-A.
I was using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incorporateapps.fakegps.fre to mock my location with GPS in device only mode. The problem is there that now I can't obtain my real location in device only mode no matter if mock location is enabled or disabled. Any ideas how can I fix it?
P.s I have enabled xposed module called "mock mock location" which tell selected apps that mock location is off. I have set it for only one app.
you can open settings in the search bar write "fused location" clear the data and force stop and congratulations :) you don't have to restart the phone .
(Preface: I have already seen this question, but it doesn't address setting the location while debugging the app. Opening "Android Device Monitor" closes the ADB connection to the debugger itself.)
I am trying to debug an application that monitors for location changes. The issue that I have is that I can't figure out how to run the debugger and set the location using adb geo fix ... at the same time.
I have tried running the command in the Android Studio "Debug" -> "Console" tab, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
How can I set the location while still remaining connected in the debugger?
1- go to plugins and look for GPS emulator, and install it then start the emulator from Tools--> Android---> Android device monitor
then find you desired location long and lat (search google for any website that gives you the lang lat for your city, google: get lang lat websites) and send them to the android emulator.
2- or fastes way if android emulator is running On the Right Side of Your Android Emulator Where (Power Button ,Speaker , Camera etc Sign are given Find Three Dot Sign(...) at the last of that column. click on that then Click on location and Set the Latitude and longitude
In the end, I did this using Android GPS Emulator, a Java program which runs on the computer and sends location updates over ADB.
You should install application that can set fake gps location like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fakegps.mock run it first, then run your app.
The availability of a hardware in Android can be checked by using hasSystemFeature(). However when I tried calling context.getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_LOCATION_GPS) and
context.getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_LOCATION_NETWORK) on an emulator, both command returned false.
This is despite the fact that the emulator has a GPS. What could be the problem? How do I check in an emulator if it has a GPS or NETWORK hardware?
Try setting your own latitude and longitude for emulator :
follow this :
using DDMS
->go to your android/tools directory, and launch the DDMS tool
->select the Emulator Control Tab
->fill the Location Controls fields with the longitude and latitude values
->press the Send button
Is it possible to show our current posotion on Android emulator?
If yes how?
Thank You.
You need to set the latitude and longitude in case of emulator because emulator do not have gps detection hardrware to get current location.
telnet localhost 5554
geo fix <longitude value> <latitude value> For ex: geo fix 68.54546 37.5117579
You can fake GPS location data on emulator using DDMS which is explained here: http://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/ddms.html#ops-location and here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/strategies.html#MockData.
You can interact with an emulator instance through its shell.
Start emulator.
From terminal run telnet localhost 5554, you are now in emulator shell.
Type help,it will show available commands , like faking a call, sms, battery etc.
To know more about a command type help <command name>.
Type help geo, it will print available location commands.
Try geo fix 1 1 .
Try more with other latitude and longitude values.
I develop an application that retrieves the location of the user.
Is that I can test on my emulator (of Eclipse) the geolocation with GPS or other?
thank you
You can connect to the emulator using telnet and then use the command geo fix <latitude> <longtitude> to simulate a change in latitude and longtitude
Open a terminal in the /tools directory of your SDK's installation
Connect to the emulator using telnet localhost <port number>. You will get the port number from the emulator window
Use geo fix <x> <y> <z> to change the location. X and Y are latitude and longtitude in degrees and Z is altitude in meters (it's optional).
This page has details
Edit: Corrected and added more info
Open DDMS perspective, select an emulator, then put in Location control any coordinates you need.
If you are using Eclipse, you can set long/lat in the Emulator control view, under 'Location controls'
