Follow the Android developer-setting workflow required before a mock location app can provide test coordinates.
What this video helps you do
Follow the Android developer-setting workflow required before a mock location app can provide test coordinates. The video is kept at the top of this page so you can watch first, then use the notes as a practical checklist rather than trying to remember every screen or setting.
Three details to verify
- Enable Developer options on the test device.
- Select Mock Location as the approved provider.
- Run a small test and then restore normal location behaviour.
Keep the result with the relevant device, app version or course exercise. A short recording is useful for orientation, but a repeatable note is what turns the demonstration into evidence you can use later.
Use the feature in the right context
Use simulated locations only on devices, apps and services you own or are authorised to test. Do not use a mock location to misrepresent your whereabouts, bypass a service rule or obtain an unfair advantage.
If the interface on your device differs from the recording, check the Android version, app version, permissions and manufacturer settings before assuming the feature is broken. Platform screens and permission wording can change over time.
