Emulator control android is disabled

Question

I'm working with Google Maps v2 and I want to determine my location. I work with Genymotion emulator. I need to activate GPS on my test device. If I'm testing on the emulator and it's not activated "null" if I'm trying to use a LocationManager. I'm using the "DDMS" Perspective of Eclipse to send geoposition to the emulator. Window → Open Perspective → Other... → DDMS.But all fields are not clickable.

I did how Breadbin said,but i still have null pointer exception enter image description here

`

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    map=((MapFragment)getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
    map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
    LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
    Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
    String provider =  locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
    Location myLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
    map.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
    double latitude = myLocation.getLatitude();
    double longitude = myLocation.getLongitude();
    LatLng latLng = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
    map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
    map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(20));
    map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(latitude, longitude)).title("You are here"));
    }`

If you are using genymotion you set the mock location with genymotion. I.e. theres a button on the side of the emulator where you turn GPS on and set accuracy and mock location on a map

I did how you said but still have null – user3009926 Nov 19 '13 at 21:44
Where is the button you described? – emersonthis Sep 21 '14 at 11:16
@SDP. On the side of the genymotion there's a gps button (says GPS with waves above it, second button) once you click that there's a map option. Inside you can click on the map and that will give you mock location on the genymotion device – Breadbin Sep 22 '14 at 08:58

Make sure that the device is selected in the Devices view. You cannot use Emulator Control unless the device or emulator is selected.

If it doesn't work, then close Eclipse,there's a ddms shell script in the tools/ directory of wherever you installed the Android SDK.

If still it doesn't work, run adb kill-server, followed by adb start-server, where adb should be in your platform-tools/ directory of your SDK installation. Then, try DDMS again.

If that does not help, reboot, then try DDMS again.
