Not working in Genymotion about smart-location-lib HOT 4 CLOSED

The problem with Genymotion is that it does not have Google Play Services bundled into their system images, as Google told them not to bundle it.

The library uses the "old-way" with LocationManager too in case the Play Services aren't available, and tries to request either network or gps (depending on the updatestrategy selected) locations.

It should work because of that, but I don't recall testing this in a Genymotion VM.

I will try it as soon as I can and try to reproduce this issue.

I "hack" Genymotion (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528952) and install Google Play Service into it :) I will appreciate, if you look at that. Thanks.

Hello guys,

First of all, congrats for the greab lib, it's so easy to implement and working like a charm on my real devices.

For Genymotion, that's another story though... I have read all the thread here but still get no location in GenyMotion, even with Geny GPS enabled + Location ON in Android settings.

Here is how I start SmartLocation from my MainActivity :

SmartLocation.with(this).location()
.provider(new LocationGooglePlayServicesWithFallbackProvider(this))
.start(new OnLocationUpdatedListener() { .... });

But still, in one fragment of this activity, SmartLocation.with(context).location().getLastLocation() would stay NULL :(

Any idea ? :)

Hi all,

I created gist that work well on genymotion and other non google play service devices:

The trick is in this:

.config(LocationParams.NAVIGATION)
.provider(new LocationGooglePlayServicesWithFallbackProvider(getApplicationContext()))
