>>I have realized now I can implement a mock location provider, Btw you may want to keep in mind that as per http://groups.google.com/group/android-challenge/browse_thread/thread/4412631fb4d5e285/27e9df98fd31c5c1#27e9df98fd31c5c1 challenge entries cannot submit kml files and so they cannot rely on new mock location providers.
I haven't used the getLastKnownLocation. So I don't know why you're running into errors. However, it appears that you haven't created a properties file yet. You may want to look at the gps properties file and then create a similar one for your mock location provider On Apr 9, 11:12 pm, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have realized now I can implement a mock location provider, and have > done that by creating a kml file from google earth, creating a > directory parallel to gps, and placed 2 files in it: location and > properties.
