[android-developers] Re: Mock Location Provider [SOLVED+IMPROVED]
Hi Justin, the interesting enhancement wasn't the journey, but it was the interpolation of route-points. One may now make a road of 2 points and the mock-provider can make a route of arbitrary many points out of these two. So if one has a straight route between 2 cities, the provider creates a "smooth" route between the cities.

[android-developers] Re: Mock Location Provider [SOLVED+IMPROVED]
Thanks Stefan, for providing the additional route. I just included a trivial one and the hope is that users will input what ever route data source makes sense for them. In the future I might work on enhancing the program to include a set of routes to choose from and the ability to just specify different data sources like a URL, file path, or content provider.

[android-developers] Re: Mock Location Provider [SOLVED+IMPROVED]
I somehow improved Justins code. See http://pastebin.com/m1f06415f It has now a New-York based journey (longer than before) and the time-interval between each points can be set so that the update inveral (set to 500ms) can be arbitraryly small (see line 177) @Justin: if you like it, please include it in you zip-file > I just posted some code at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/web/mock_provider.zip > that implements a mock location provider.
