GPS Mock Location Service and Avare

[Andrew Sarangan]

I am writing an app to replay a previously recorded GPS track for training/review purposes. It uses the GPS Mock Location feature on the Android IDE by calling LocationManager. My app works fine under the old Avare app - it correctly picks up the fake GPS position and displays the position, altitude, speed etc.. But it doesn't seem to work with AvareX. It briefly shows where the airplane is supposed to be, and then immediately switches back to my actual physical location. I've tried putting the device in airplane mode (so that cell, wifi and bluetooth locations don't interfere with the location) to no avail. In fact, Google Map doesn't work either.  For now, I am using the classic Avare, but I would like to figure out what I am doing incorrectly. Any thoughts or input would be appreciated.

No idea. The AvareX location comes from a library and not sure what it is doing. Avare is using Location manager that's native to android.
