How to Emulate Gps Location in the Android Emulator

How to emulate GPS location in the Android Emulator?

You can connect to the Emulator via Telnet. You then have a Emulator console that lets you enter certain data like geo fixes, network etc.

How to use the console is extensively explained here.
To connect to the console open a command line and type

telnet localhost 5554

You then can use the geo command to set a latitude, longitude and if needed altitude on the device that is passed to all programs using the gps location provider. See the link above for further instructions.

The specific command to run in the console is

geo fix <longitude value> <latitude value>

I found this site useful for finding a realistic lat/lng: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html

If you need more then one coordinate you can use a kml file with a route as well it is a little bit described in this article. I can't find a better source at the moment.

Set GPS Location in Emulator using Android Studio

From the docs

If you want to debug your app with the Android Debug Monitor, you can
launch it by clicking Monitor in the toolbar.

Emulator's Location simulation not working

I had the same problem with the SDK Tools version 25.1.7. I've updated them to 25.2 rc1 and it now works.

Beware that you cannot install the RC version from Android Studio. You have to launch the separate Android SDK Manager to see it.

Relaunch the emulator and check that you are indeed using the latest version in the Help/About screen of the Extended Controls windows.
