yes, i already do that too but i always failed to push the $GPRMC?!?
I already succeded to push the nmea($GPRMC for jakarta route) file into emulator via adb but the ME location always point somewhere around india and not jakarta despite how many times i restart the emulator.....

Hello zoe,

so it almost worked Wink

Its sounds like you have an error in your GPRMC-route, as the "result" is pretty close.

I attached a working KML-route for Germany. (From "Schriesheim" to "Dossenheim").
Give it a try.

Your GPRMC checksum doesn't work, try this one
Try it , and compare the results....with the one you gave and the $GPRMC sentence examples you gave...

hi plusminus,
i am creating a mock location provider for Chennai (India). I created few sentences in nmea file, the locations file and properties file. But i came across one problem .

1. In the getCheckSum(String sentence) function, how can we get the sentence.
2. using push, shall we can push the folder(test1) to eclipse.

please reply immeadiately,

Thanks
Nithin

Hello nithin.warier,

I strongly suggest using kml Exclamation

If you choose kml its a job of minutes Exclamation

You'll find info on how to set up a route using kml here on anddev.

Hi everyone, I am using the new 1.5 SDK and I am trying to extract NMEA files but I failed:
I tried to do this:

@aziziti: that method is indeed obsolete since SDK 1.5 Check out the location dev guide.

@all: I tried out plusminus's KML route in Germany. When I try to play it in DDMS, an icon shows up at the inital point but never moves, and after a while it simply disappears. Pressing play again doesn't help at all. I was following the tutorial from Andreas Frey's blog. Also, when I'm sending single GPS fixes, it works for 2 or 3 times n then just stops doing anything...I find this behaviour pretty strange.

EDIT: OK, so I did some debugging on the matter: I can only provide a location twice, either through DDMS or telnet. The onStatusChanged method returns gps as available. The icon shows up when I send the first location, moves when I send the second location. When I send a location for the third time, nothing happens. The onLocationChanged method isn’t called, neither are any other locationListener methods - gps isn’t reported to be unavailable or anything. MapActivity reports an error as soon as our Activity is started, saying “Couldn’t get connection factory client”.

Andreas's code works fine because it behaved like expected when I provided fake location coordinates from a simple array.
Any ideas what this might be???

Hello, i have cread a location provider that reads kml files and sends points , this works fine. so i can generate paths as i want and inject them inside sdcard.
Now the probelm is that when testing on real device i get the error below :

01-12 11:00:35.280: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(717): Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Requires ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION secure setting

Hi all,

I've added this at the end of the function in JAVA
