    text
    copied!<p>I’m hoping someone can help me with an issue I’m having with sending emulated GPS data to an Android AVD in Eclipse. If I run the application on a real device everything works fine, but when I attempt to uses the built in emulator in eclipse nothing will happen. I have also tried telneting into the AVD and issuing the geo fix command. Below is the code I am using although I don’t think there is anything wrong with it if it works on the real device</p> <p>The manifest file</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="net.TestGoogleMaps" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" &gt; &lt;uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="10" android:minSdkVersion="8"/&gt; &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"&gt;&lt;/uses-permission&gt; &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"&gt;&lt;/uses-permission&gt; &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" /&gt; &lt;application android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" &gt; &lt;activity android:name=".TestingGoogleMapsActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" &gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/activity&gt; &lt;/application&gt; &lt;/manifest&gt; </code></pre> <p>Main.xml</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" &gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>The Main Code</p> <pre><code>package net.TestGoogleMaps; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Context; import android.os.Bundle; import android.location.Criteria; import android.location.Location; import android.location.LocationListener; import android.location.LocationManager; import android.view.View; import android.widget.TextView; import android.widget.Toast; public class TestingGoogleMapsActivity extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); LocationManager locationManager; String context = Context.LOCATION_SERVICE; locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(context); Criteria criteria = new Criteria(); criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE); criteria.setAltitudeRequired(false); criteria.setBearingRequired(false); criteria.setCostAllowed(true); criteria.setPowerRequirement(Criteria.POWER_LOW); String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true); Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider); updateWithNewLocation(location); locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 2000, 10, locationListener); } private final LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() { public void onLocationChanged(Location location) { updateWithNewLocation(location); } public void onProviderDisabled(String provider){ updateWithNewLocation(null); } public void onProviderEnabled(String provider){ } public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras){ } }; public void updateWithNewLocation(Location location) { Context contextApp = getApplicationContext(); String text ; int duration = 2000; if(location == null) { text ="Null Location"; } else { text = "Lat : " + location.getLatitude() + " Lon: " + location.getLongitude(); } Toast toast = Toast.makeText(contextApp, text, duration); toast.show(); } } </code></pre> <p>I will also get the following error sometimes when simulating the GPS data from eclipse to the device in the LogCat tab of eclipse.</p> <pre><code>05-31 02:31:35.158: E/InputQueue-JNI(347): channel '406e6640 net.TestGoogleMaps/net.TestGoogleMaps.TestingGoogleMapsActivity (client)' ~ Publisher closed input channel or an error occurred. events=0x8 </code></pre> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>
