Can't get multiple location updates

Hi,

The following code works in the emulator if I manually send GPS coordinates, but the problem is that the after 2 location updates the program no longer responds to subsequent gps coordinate updates.
Ie. Run program in debug mode -> use ddms to send gps coord manually (works) -> use ddms to send gps coord manually (works) -> subsequent attempts to send gps coord manually does not work
See code below:

package com.lbs;

import android.location.Location;

public class LocationTest extends Activity {
 
        private LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener()
 
        {
 
                @Override
 
                public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
 
                        Log.e("GPSLogger", location.getLatitude() + " " + location.getLongitude());
 
                }
 
                @Override

                }

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
 
    @Override
 
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
 
        LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
 
        lm.setTestProviderStatus(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, LocationProvider.AVAILABLE, null, System.currentTimeMillis());
 
        lm.setTestProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, true);
 
        lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);
 
    }
 
}

Suspending all threads I notice the following:
Object.wait(long, int) line: not available [native method]
MessageQueue(Object).wait() line: 288
MessageQueue.next() line: 148
Looper.loop() line: 110
ActivityThread.main(String[]) line: 3948
....

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm stumped.
Thanks

If this is the same bug I was encountering it is related to the emulator's settings for date & time. You need to go
to the settings menu on the emulator and under date & time change time zone manually instead of leaving it on the automatic option. After that you should be able to do an arbitrary number of manual gps fix's. It wont show up though unless it is a different location from the last fix.

Hope that helps
