gps - Can't get geo fixes to Android emulator

Question

I'm trying to send geo fixes to the Android Emulator in Eclipse. It has been working in some locations, but now it never works. I've tried targeting different platforms, setting the time zone in the correct emulator, changing the locale to English (US), wiping the user data in the emulator, used both telnet geo fix command and the DDMS.

How can I make this work?

Answer 1

If your AVD version is API level 9, (2.3 emulator), then it appears to be a known bug

onLocationChanged(Location location) method does not work in google API 9 platfom 2.3

I've got two apps that work fine in 2.1 and 3.0, but one is reluctant to install under 2.3, when it does, geo fix doesn't work.. The other is installed and again geo fix doesn't work.
