Get GPS location in android emulator

Question

I wanted to get the manually set GPS latitude and longitude for my emulator in the main activity because getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); is returning null location. As seen in many posts here, I tried adding the LocationListener and call

locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this)

But my code is never going inside the onLocationChanged function and hence my app is unable to get the location which I manually entered. Can anyone help me understand what I am missing here?

How can I fetch the manually entered latitude and longitude in my emulator settings?

you can try passing location via emulator settings , Under location tab, While app is running update location callback method should receive the same LatLng values you passed there. — GeekWithGlasses, Nov 29 '18 at 10:48
Thank you so much both of you. It was a minor error from my side in the emulator settings. It worked! — Deepa Sreekumar, Nov 29 '18 at 10:55
