For a school project we’re building an app that uses Google Maps Api.
We’re getting this project to run, but the location and the map won’t show (see picture).

The image is uploaded on mediafire, you can see it on with the following link:

(PS: we also tried osmDroid, but the same thing happens.)

With iOS programming you can simulate a certain location. How can you do that with Android?
The only information that I’ve found is to create a telnet session with the emulator to provide with longitude and lattitude. But that isn’t working either.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT
I’ve already read the post:
StackOverflow other link

But it offers the same solution with telnet, but I’m wondering is there another way

    To be able to use/view the Maps API, you need to get an API key: https://developers.google.com/android/maps-api-signup

    You also need to add the following in your manifest:

    <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

    For the second part of your problem regarding mock locations, you can use DDMS.
