I am developing an application of getting current GPS location. For that to get current latitude and longitude.
I opened "Emulator Control"
Noticed a Disabled Send button
And tried a lot but it doesn't Enable. Any way to enable the Send button on the Emulator
Try this,
First of all open Devices and then select your emulator or Devices
. After Send Button will be
will be enabled automatically.

Is there a recognized problem with geolocation via the default browser in Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread?
On an HTC G2 android 2.3.4, the default browser does not appear to use the GPS satellites to determine location. As a result, the location the browser sends to the app is off by a mile or so. Yes, the GPS and wi-fi were both on in the phone. We turned wi-fi off and got the same (bad) result.
Is there some voodoo that can be done to get the default browser in 2.3.4 to do proper geolocation?
On an iPhone 3s geolocation with the very same browser app works perfectly. The following link starts the Gmap4 app (I am the developer) and shows your location on the Google 'Hybrid" map:

I believe this is not a browser problem, but a phone specific issue. If you are getting a position off by a mile, for sure the position has been acquired from wifi.
When you start the map, it tries to get the LastKnownLocation, and if it's to old it reverts to wifi position. Now, if you turn wifi off, the position acquiried using wi-fi will remain available as a recent LastKnownLocation and will be used to position the map again.
Until you get a better position from GPS this one will be used.
At least some phones discard the LastKnownLocation when you restart them. You can try it, with wifi off, to see what happens.

I'm running an android emulator with virtualbox / buildroid, and connecting with ADB and eclipse, DDMS,
Everything is working, I'm able to load apps from eclipse etc, BUT the emulator controls in DDMS perspective are greyed out, so I'm unable to send location data to the device.
Is it impossible to send location data from DDMS to a virtualbox based emulator, or is this a configuration issue?
Also is there an alternative way to send mock GPS data to my emulator (I tried to use a 'mock location' application , but it keeps asking for a location source to be enabled, even though I've enabled wifi/gps (I know that emulators aren't able to use actual GPS etc, so can this be faked?)
yes there is a new way to send GPS data to an emulator .. the new emulator got a side bar with icons .. use the three dot sign (the hamburger icon) .. now u will open a window where u can send GPS to your device
I need to send GPS positions to my phone (with eclipse) to test a GPS application without exit from home?
thanks
the ddms can do that with the emulator, i THINK it will work with a real phone
I have a working code to get the current location using GPS. However it stopped working suddenly. On further debugging using GpsStatusListner, I noticed Satellite count is always 0 (before it used to show upto 8/9 sats).
And other navigation software (google navigator, At&t navigator) none of them are able to get fix on GPS.
Is there a way to reset/reccaliberate the GPS component in my phone? I tried disabling/enabling GPS/Network under Location settings and rebooted the phone multiple times :(
Device: HTC Inspire.
thank you!
Ok many had this problem
Make sure gps is disabled
Go to the market
Download "Fast Reboot"
Run it
Run navigation (when it's done)
It'll ask you to show location settings
Click okay
Enable gps
Open navigation again
it should work
I am beginner in Android and I have a problem with GPS in the Dalvik Emulator.
I added hardware gps support on AVD and after booting I checked Use GPS Satellites in
Settings -> Location & Security -> Use GPS Satellites.
I enable Use GPS Satellites but there is no indication that GPS is turned on. There is no satellite indicator at the top of the screen.
I tried to send coordinates to the emulator via DDMS (on a simple application) and it still doesn't work.
Have you requested location/location updates in your app? If you haven't, the GPS won't get enabled until some application requests location from it, even though it's turned on.
Try sending coordinates manually:
from DDMS view > Emulator Control Tab > any lat & any long > SEND
if your app is listening to changes, it should work
