I have a project in which I need to get the location as India. But in my emulator I am not getting the location.

I need to get the location as India
when I take the google maps from my emulator, it is showing the current location in middle of the sea.
```
API level I am using is 27.
Emulator I use is Nexus 5x.
```

how to get the current position in this Emulator and also manually.

I tried to edit the location in Emulator and tried to give the latitude and longitude but it is not working.

In 2020 with Android Studio 3.6, the way I had to change the emulator location is slightly different than accepted answer. Here how it is:

First,

Second, Location is first menu item and it is selected by default. You have to select your location in the map and save that point.

Third, select the saved point and press on select location button in bottom right corner.

That's it, close that window. You are all done.

Sometimes you may have to close the emulator and open (Not restart).

You can set it visually but the longitude and latitude will still be somewhere in America if i log it inside my application – Moises 7/5, 2020 at 8:57

Yes, that is the Mountain View location after these changes yet – Gains 21/7, 2020 at 17:34

It is not working. It still gives Mountain View location. – Pogge 12/8, 2020 at 15:6

I have only one location added, saved it and set it as SET Location. – Pogge 14/8, 2020 at 3:58

Still not working after set a new location, I tried also with reset. – Semblance 18/8, 2020 at 9:22

@A.Amini you must restart emulator to take effect – Roeder 18/8, 2020 at 13:36

@SriramNadiminti, I also have this bug: #64354681. Have you fixed this behaviour? – Livre 14/10, 2020 at 15:46

@Livre - No. I couldn't. – Pogge 14/10, 2020 at 17:44

@SriramNadiminti Did you tried closing and opening emulator after suggested steps? – Roeder 19/12, 2020 at 0:11

@Blasanka. Yes I have. Even restarted the Android Studio – Pogge 20/12, 2020 at 11:0

For me, closing the Extended controls window made it work – Vanhook 19/3, 2021 at 22:10

First of all,

Restart your emulator.
Go to More > Location. Enter your lat-long > Press SEND

tried that many times.. doesn't works, after setting it when i look at google map its still says the current location is in america – Orobanchaceous 28/11, 2017 at 13:2

As of this writing, those location controls no longer exist in Android Studio Dolphin | 2021.3.1 Patch 1. – Civilization 20/10, 2022 at 17:2

In my case; until i login my Google account on emulator, location not changed. After login, it's changed. I think it's about Google Services.

This worked for me, i just logged in with my google account on the emulator – Darcee 5/6, 2022 at 9:42

You can set Location using Command prompt or ADB

Set permissions in AndroidManifest.xml:

Find the correct local port for your Android emulator:

$ adb devices
  List of devices attached
  emulator-5554 device

The port we are looking for is in this case 5554. Now connect via telnet:

$ telnet localhost 5554
  Trying::1...
  Trying 127.0.0.1...
  Connected to localhost.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  Android Console: type 'help' for a list of commands

Set your preferred location manually: You set the location with the geo fix command:

 geo fix $longitude $latitude

For Example

geo fix 2.169919 41.387917
OK

ANOTHER EASY WAY

Open Android Device Monitor From Android Studio.

Select the Emulator.

Select Emulator Control

In Emulator Control Select Location Control

Select Manual

In that Give your Longitude and Latitude

when i tried to give the command - geo fix 2.169919 41.387917 , iam getting error:- Android Console: Authentication required Android Console: type 'auth <auth_token>' to authenticate Android Console: you can find your <auth_token> in 'C:\Users\martin\.emulator_console_auth_token' OK - what to do with this error @Tomin B – Orobanchaceous 28/11, 2017 at 10:45

@Martinj Try the next method. Using Android Device Monitor. Second Method will Work for Sure – Apocryphal 28/11, 2017 at 11:18

when i clicked the android device monitor nothing comes – Orobanchaceous 28/11, 2017 at 13:0

the ADM has everything grayed out for emulator control. the emulator lets you type and press buttons with gps coords, but it has no affect – Chime 23/2, 2018 at 4:23

@Martinj Ops forgot to say that you also need to restart emulator. Did you? – Roeder 14/8, 2020 at 18:36

In my case, setting the point and restarting the emulator, then signin in to Google account and checking my location in Chrome directly was the solution.

Catwalk answered 28/5, 2021 at 11:18 Comment(0)

I solved this by wiping the emulator's data and restarting it.

If you are having authentication required issue, then:

Android Console: Authentication required
Android Console: type 'auth <auth_token>' to authenticate
Android Console: you can find your <auth_token> in
'C:\Users\Administrator\.emulator_console_auth_token' <--you will find your auth code here
OK
auth PsL*******QML <---pass auth with your authentication code then enter 
Android Console: type 'help' for a list of commands
OK
geo fix your_desired_long your_desired_lat <--then this
OK

Or you can also do like this:

adb -s emulator-5554 emu geo fix <longitude> <latitude>
your emulator name-> like emulator-5554
adb -s emulator-5554 emu geo fix -122.0838 37.4220

I gave all permissions and set manually location as what Blasanka said. Then signed in my google account(Not solved my problem) then I just tried to find my own location on GoogleMaps on emulator was solved rest of the problems.

-1

set force Android Location Manager to true. Like this "position = await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition( desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.low, forceAndroidLocationManager: true);" then you will get the location on emulator.
