Considering that Android just provides a mock provider (and relies on mock kml, geodb files etc), it is disappointing that challenge entries cannot create their own kml and geodb files.
However, thanks for letting me know that judges will not adb-push kml or geodb files (and that SD cards are an alternative). For now, I'll continue writing the app with the mock provider (and my own geodb file...) ....and then try to figure out how to write geodb files to SD cards and then figure out how to make the mock location provider rely on this kml file.
