Failed to get location in Genymotion VM

Question

I created this simple app to get the location. I am using a genymotion virtual machine. I turned on GPS and installed Google Play services correctly. Sorry, I can not find a place. Of course, I already added the correct resolution. Is there anything else I should do?

package com.salvo.weather.android; import android.app.Activity; import android.location.Location; import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.MenuItem; import android.widget.Toast; import com.google.android.gms.common.ConnectionResult; import com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient; import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationServices; public class TodayActivity extends Activity implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener { protected static final String TAG = "location-weather"; protected Location mLastLocation; /** * Provides the entry point to Google Play services. */ protected GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_today); // TODO: here get coordinates data and pass to Valley JsonObjectRetrieve buildGoogleApiClient(); } /** * Builds a GoogleApiClient. Uses the addApi() method to request the LocationServices API. */ protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() { mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this) .addConnectionCallbacks(this) .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this) .addApi(LocationServices.API) .build(); } @Override protected void onStart() { super.onStart(); mGoogleApiClient.connect(); } @Override protected void onStop() { super.onStop(); if (mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) { mGoogleApiClient.disconnect(); } } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_today, menu); return true; } @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml. int id = item.getItemId(); //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement if (id == R.id.action_settings) { return true; } return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); } /** * Runs when a GoogleApiClient object successfully connects. */ @Override public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) { mLastLocation = LocationServices .FusedLocationApi .getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient); if (mLastLocation != null) { Log.i(TAG, String.valueOf(mLastLocation.getLatitude())); Log.i(TAG, String.valueOf(mLastLocation.getLongitude())); } else { Toast.makeText(this, "No Location detected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } } @Override public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) { // The connection to Google Play services was lost for some reason. We call connect() to // attempt to re-establish the connection. mGoogleApiClient.connect(); } @Override public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) { // Refer to the javadoc for ConnectionResult to see what error codes might be returned in // onConnectionFailed. Log.i(TAG, "Connection failed: ConnectionResult.getErrorCode() = " + connectionResult.getErrorCode()); } }

Genymotion has a free feature for setting a location called "GPS", accessible via the icon in the upper right corner of the emulator window. Use the GPS icon to set your location by latitude / longitude or search map. Location services will then find the location you specified.

Additional reported solutions include a free scripting Genyshell or paid Java API.
