How to install Android Mock GPS location?

Question

Description

I had a problem while trying to use local locks for Android. My main goal is to install the Android Android navigator to think that we are in a different place, a fake AKA GPS receiver.

Current attempts

Currently, I have tried two different similar solutions available on both of these sites:

• Jungle programming
• Mobiarch

Both textbooks since 2012, I do not know if they are outdated or it is difficult for me to do their job.

Coding development

First, I will make sure that I have permissions:

• ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
• ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
• ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION *

    Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
    criteria.setAccuracy( Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE );
    String mocLocationProvider = lm.getBestProvider( criteria, true );
    if ( mocLocationProvider == null ) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No location provider found!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        return;
    }
    lm.addTestProvider(mocLocationProvider, false, false,
            false, false, true, true, true, 0, 5);
    lm.setTestProviderEnabled(mocLocationProvider, true);

    Location loc = new Location(mocLocationProvider);
    Location mockLocation = new Location(mocLocationProvider); // a string
    mockLocation.setLatitude(-26.902038);  // double
    mockLocation.setLongitude(-48.671337);
    mockLocation.setAltitude(loc.getAltitude());
    mockLocation.setTime(System.currentTimeMillis());
    lm.setTestProviderLocation( mocLocationProvider, mockLocation);
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Working", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

, : " !". mocLocationProvider :

String mocLocationProvider = LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER;

APP, LogCat , :

lm.setTestProviderLocation(mocLocationProvider, mockLocation);

Answer 1

ElapsedRealtimeNanos

location.setAccuracy(...);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
    location.setElapsedRealtimeNanos(SystemClock.elapsedRealtimeNanos());
}

IllegalArgumentException.

@throws IllegalArgumentException,

UPDATE

String mocLocationProvider = LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER;

,

LocationListener listener = new LocationListener(){
    ...
    void onLocationChanged(Location location){

    }
};
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, ..., listener);

, setTestProviderLocation, onLocationChanged!

from @Blackkara - : (GPS)

    LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
    criteria.setAccuracy( Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE );

    String mocLocationProvider = LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER;//lm.getBestProvider( criteria, true );

    if ( mocLocationProvider == null ) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No location provider found!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        return;
    }
    lm.addTestProvider(mocLocationProvider, false, false,
            false, false, true, true, true, 0, 5);
    lm.setTestProviderEnabled(mocLocationProvider, true);

    Location loc = new Location(mocLocationProvider);
    Location mockLocation = new Location(mocLocationProvider); // a string
    mockLocation.setLatitude(-26.902038);  // double
    mockLocation.setLongitude(-48.671337);
    mockLocation.setAltitude(loc.getAltitude());
    mockLocation.setTime(System.currentTimeMillis());
    mockLocation.setAccuracy(1);
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
        mockLocation.setElapsedRealtimeNanos(SystemClock.elapsedRealtimeNanos());
    }
    lm.setTestProviderLocation( mocLocationProvider, mockLocation);
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Working", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

:

ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION     ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION     ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION

:

setMock (some_lat, some_lon, some precision);

private void setMock(double latitude, double longitude, float accuracy) {
 locMgr.addTestProvider (LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
            "requiresNetwork" == "",
            "requiresSatellite" == "",
            "requiresCell" == "",
            "hasMonetaryCost" == "",
            "supportsAltitude" == "",
            "supportsSpeed" == "",
            "supportsBearing" == "",
            android.location.Criteria.POWER_LOW,
            android.location.Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE);

    Location newLocation = new Location(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

    newLocation.setLatitude(latitude);
    newLocation.setLongitude(longitude);
    newLocation.setAccuracy(accuracy);
    newLocation.setAltitude(0);
    newLocation.setAccuracy(500);
    newLocation.setTime(System.currentTimeMillis());
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
        newLocation.setElapsedRealtimeNanos(SystemClock.elapsedRealtimeNanos());
    }
    locMgr.setTestProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, true);

    locMgr.setTestProviderStatus(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
            LocationProvider.AVAILABLE,
            null,System.currentTimeMillis());

    locMgr.setTestProviderLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, newLocation);}
