Android Emulator React Native Geolocation not working

Question

I am working on the geolocation code, on android studio using windows. But for some reason my present location is not being picked. I tried to use other options like enableHighAccuracy:false. also tried to run Telnet, and apply geo fix long lat, but nothing happens.

Please see relevant code that actually works when i tested on expo snacks.

  findCurrentLocationAsync=()=>{

      navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
          (position) => {
         //   console.log(position);
            let lat=position.coords.latitude;
            let long=position.coords.longitude;
            
            this.setState({
              markerPosition: {
                lat: lat,
                lng: long
            },
            mapPosition: {
                latitude: lat,
                longitude: long,
                latitudeDelta: 0.0922,
                longitudeDelta: 0.0421,
            }
            });

             Geocoder.from( this.state.mapPosition.latitude , this.state.mapPosition.longitude ).then(
              response => {
                  const address = response.results[0].formatted_address,
                        addressArray =  response.results[0].address_components,
                        city = this.getCity( addressArray ),
                        area = this.getArea( addressArray ),
                        state = this.getState( addressArray );
                        zip = this.getZip( addressArray );
      
                console.log(addressArray)
      
                  this.setState( {
                      address: ( address ) ? address : '',
                      area: ( area ) ? area : '',
                      city: ( city ) ? city : '',
                      state: ( state ) ? state : '',
                      zip: ( zip ) ? zip : '',
                  } )
              },
              error => {
              //  console.error( error );
              }
          )

          },
         
         //{ enableHighAccuracy: true, timeout: 15000, maximumAge: 10000 },
         ///()=>console.log(lat)  
      );

    
     };

I would appreciate suggestions

thanks sal

If you didnt, set location using android emu settings. Android emulator has settings bar on right. Click "three point" button and mark the location you want to emulated then set location.

If you completed these steps, ignore it.
