As a user of the Android plugin, I would like to be able to add a build step to set GPS location on the started emulator to execute my automated tests.

      Currently, this involves telnet-ing into the started emulator and sending "geo fix <long> <lat>" and then disconnecting.

      It would be much easier if this was built directly into the plugin.

          Comment [ Hey everyone!

          I completely agree with the idea of having a built-in feature in the Android plugin to send the "geo fix" command to the Android Emulator. It would definitely make setting GPS locations for automated tests much more convenient.

          The current workaround of telneting into the emulator and manually sending the command can be time-consuming and prone to human error. Having a dedicated build step within the plugin would streamline the process and make it more user-friendly.

          By incorporating the "geo fix" command directly into the plugin, it would simplify the setup for automated tests that require specific GPS locations. 

          I hope the developers of the Android plugin consider this suggestion, as it would greatly enhance the user experience and improve productivity when working with automated tests.
