adb -s emu geo fix not works without using telnet

Question

My app works on Google Apis 17. I want to set the gps location after an emulator is being launched.

I try to this follow how-to-emulate-gps-location-in-the-android-emulator.

1st. get the serials number of the emulator.

>adb devices
emulator-5554

2nd run

adb -s emulator-5554 emu geo fix 121.4961236714487 31.24010934431376

There are no warnings and errors. I am programming on windows7.

It not work. However when I send gps info manually in eclipse(ADT22.6), it works. My app can locate the location correctly. What did eclipse do? How to make the adb command work? Thanks

Have you try sending it via telnet? First you have to connect to the emulator:

telnet localhost 5554

Then you can use the geo command to send latitude and logitude:

geo fix 121.4961236714487 31.24010934431376

I am not trying to use `telnet`. For some os(e.g. windows 7), it is not being used as default. – Nick Dong Apr 28 '14 at 11:50
Use telnet. It's no more foreign to Windows than adb is. Even if Microsoft is no longer shipping a client, there are plenty of others to choose from. – Chris Stratton Jun 04 '14 at 04:10

telnet does not work for me. I get this message "KO: unkown command try 'help" – user3712476 Nov 08 '16 at 15:04

Does not work. I get the same result with @user3712476 (7.1 Emulator) – Can Poyrazoğlu Jan 10 '17 at 00:45

The command requires input of longitude latitude.

adb emu geo fix 41.4961236714487 271.24010934431376 KO: invalid latitude value. Should be in [-90,+90] range

Here's the string which works for me:

adb emu geo fix -71.2230 41.9067

Prior to reversing the input I was in Antarctica.

adb -s emu geo fix not works without using telnet
