How to send GPS to a android emulator

Question

How can I send simulated GPS positions to the emulator? (This is not a repeated question because I have tried other solutions, don't work)

1) Opened the Tools->Android->Android Device Monitor The Emulator Control Tab with the Location Controls are un Editable.

2) The emulator also has the "..." option which opens a control panel with Location. There I can see GPS data point and Send, but even if I do nothing changes to my program

public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
        mMap = googleMap;

        if (mMap != null) {
            mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
            mMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE);
        }

3) If I have to use terminal, how do I know which port the emulator is attached.

I have used genymotion and it works well, except can not install google maps there yet.

Answer 1

to answer your third part of your question first: the port your emulator is attached is written on top of your emulator window

There is written the name and afterwards the ports (default would be :5554)

To answer point one and two of your question:

to tell emulator fake gps data via command line you need to connect via telnet:

telnet localhost <your emulator port>

afterwarts it asks you for your auth token. the console will show you path where it is located. You need to enter the token via

auth <your auth token>

now you have a connection to your emulator and tell him whatever you want.

You can find a complete documentation of all commands at https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-commandline.html

... or you type help into your console ;)
