Re: [android-beginners] Problems accessing location data in emulator

[wahib haq]

hey jacobs ! I guess it is sometime a problematic issue. I remember i
had same issues when i started working with google maps. well i should
recommend you tu give static values using DDMS tool and go to
'location controls' section and give manual decimal values while your
emulator is running. If you want to try any code with a sample map
view then you need to give sample kml file in the 'KML' section.

best of luck !

regards,
wahib
