I hope these emulators are not started on the same pc, since there is a bug in the location service that prevents our application from working properly when two emulators are running on the same pc (the second emulator will always block when we request the current location). I have no idea how this is possible, but there seems to be a issue with the mock location provider when multiple threads and multiple simulators are used on the same system. Luckily we make most of our calls to the location provider in a seperate thread so it does not always block our GUI, but it limits the functionality.
We have tested this on Windows XP/Vista, but the bug probably also exists in the Linux version. If you want to reproduce this bug you can simply start two emulators on one pc, load our application (Snap! - www.snap-project.net) on both emulators and check the logcat of the second emulator. See also issue 639 on the Issue Tracker. (this is also documented in the readme of our application, but not in depth) On 26 apr, 22:38, "Dan Morrill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The judging system has a way to start multiple emulators so that judges can > simulate two users. > - Dan > > > > On Sat, Apr 26, 2008 at 3:51 AM, Hielko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Quote: I don't know if there's a specific prohibition against it, but > > I expect not. > > The judges judge whatever .apk file was submitted, in a clean > > emulator. > > It's reviewed on its merits, meaning that they review it based on > > whatever > > appears in front of them when they start the app, good or bad. > > > How will applications be judged that require multiple users online to > > do something usefull?
