Sattelites and Emulator

[JTmartins]

Hi everyone

Just a quick question

Is there anyway to emulate the number of satellites in the emulator ?

To ensure stability, a certain portion of the app only runs when there are ate least 3 satellites available.

It seems to be working, but coding and going outside for tests is always a pain.

(I'm not referring to emulate gps coords..I really mean satellite number)

Now, I can't test my app any longer inside, which is not very nice

Thanks

The simplest solution is to "emulate" this in your code.

For a full emulation you can use the telnet command: Using the Android Emulator | Android Developers to send NMEA strings to the emulator: GPS - NMEA sentence information

Yes..

I've done a workaround, to be removed in final version.

However, I will check your link, as I still have a lot to learn.

Thanks
