Geolocation failed on Android webview and browser

Questions

I am facing a problem while working on Android Emulator. I am interested in setting the mock location through the LocationManager class and reading the geolocation in the Webview. I cannot read the location in the Webview where the location is read through the HTML5 geolocation API. I have tried on different versions of Android emulator (for API level 8, 12). I looked into previous questions at stackoverflow, but no luck. Let me know if I am missing anything.

I noticed the following issues in my implementation:

• (In the logcat) WebChromeCliet was notified that the geolocation service failed to start.
• I tried to set mock location through geo fix telnet command. I did not notice any corresponding information in the logcat messages.

Similar problem I noticed in the Android Browser. The browser also did not detect the location after geo fix command.

FYI, in my code, 1. The project settings include ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION

• The emulator has the settings for "mock locations" and "GPS support". I also enable
geolocation and gps provider.

I will appreciate any help or suggestions.
