[android-developers] Re: Test Location Providers in 1.0
Yes but I can't tell the marketing department I can't maintain the "simulate my journey" for the demos. They can't use Eclipse nor telnet during demos... Hopefully, I managed to fake that feature until we'll have a true android mobile phone. On 24 sep, 13:29, Joe Erickson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That looks to be the case.

[android-developers] Re: Test Location Providers in 1.0
That looks to be the case. It never made sense to me that we would have TestProvider code all through the app anyway. To test Location aware apps now, don't do anything special in your code (code it like you would for a real production application), but in Eclipse, open the Emulator Control view to send GPS lat and long. The docs say you can use a 'geo' app in the tools folder in the SDK, but it doesn't seem to exist yet. http://code.google.com/android/toolbox/apis/lbs.html On Sep 24, 5:21 am, Guillaume Perrot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I was wondering too, I had to disable this function from my > application... > It seems we can only use DDMS or telnet to simulate location now. > > On 24 sep, 08:34, Reto Meier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > The ability to create and configure mock location providers that was > > added in Beta 0.9 doesn't seem available in 1.0. > > > Has this functionality been moved / renamed or has it been dropped > > entirely for version 1?

[android-developers] Re: Test Location Providers in 1.0
That might force the emulator to turn on the GPS (this was insufficient for me in 0.9, I still needed to enable and activate the GPS provider in code first). I haven't had a chance to test in 1.0 yet. Either way, it still only covers part of the problem. The test-location-provider-thing also lets you emulate the GPS being turned on / off, mock it's availability, and programatically modify the current location. It also lets you experiment with alternative location services that have different capabilities than the built-in GPS and Network providers. All that stuff was useful, it would be a shame if it's gone now.

[android-developers] Re: Test Location Providers in 1.0
The test-location-provider-thing was unnecessary form the start. You have to do just one thing: implement a service that continiously updates you current location. Thats all.

[android-developers] Re: Test Location Providers in 1.0
I was wondering too, I had to disable this function from my application... It seems we can only use DDMS or telnet to simulate location now.
