I'm playing around with Phone Gap and an Android Emulator. Is there away to test the GPS within the emulator? Obviously the emulator doesn't have a GPS, but is there a debug mode or something?

Every time I test it, the GPS 'onDeviceReady' just goes straight to the 'onError' function.

A way around this?

Thanks.

Within Android emulator, you could try using ddms.

developer.android.com/tools/debugging/ddms.html

For debugging phonegap application outside the emulator, PhoneGap Emulation / Ripple allow you to test in desktop browser.

http://emulate.phonegap.com/ "PhoneGap Emulation powered by Ripple"

Click the setting gears and check "Override Geolocation".

Weinre (WEb INspector REmote) enables you to test the web application remotely.

If you using Eclipse you can go to "window->open pespective->ddms". Then you go to Emulator Control tab. There is a "Location Control" and you can send a location.
