Assuming you've got a mapview set up and running:
MapView mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
final MyLocationOverlay myLocation = new MyLocationOverlay(this, mapView);
mapView.getOverlays().add(myLocation);
myLocation.enableMyLocation();
myLocation.runOnFirstFix(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
GeoPoint pt = myLocation.getMyLocation();
}
});
You'll need the following permission in your manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
And to send mock coordinates to the emulator from Eclipse, Go to the "Window" menu, select "Show View" > "Other" > "Emulator control", and you can send coordinates from the emulator control pane that appears.
1. Android Studio users.
After running the emulator goto Tools->Android->Android device monitor
Click the Emulator Control Tab change from the location controls group.
2. Eclipse users.
First In Eclipse In Menu Select "Window" then Select "Open Perspective" then Select "DDMS". i.e Window->Open Prespective->DDMS.
You will see on Left Side Devices Panel and on Right Side you will see different tabs. Select "Emulator Control" Tab.
At bottom you will see Location Controls Panel. Select "Manual" Tab.
Enter Longitude and Latitude in Textboxs then Click Send Button. It will send the position to you emulator and the application.
3. Using telnet.
In the run command type this.
telnet localhost 5554
If you are not using windows you can use any telnet client.
After connecting with telnet use the following command to send your position to emulator.
geo fix long lat
geo fix -121.45356 46.51119 4392
4. Use the browser based Google maps tool
There is a program that uses GWT and the Google Maps API to launch a browser-based map tool to set the GPS location in the emulator:
