Android mock location gpx

An application for easy mocking of locations via a GPX file.

Getting Started

After installation set this app in device developer options to be the mock location app.

The app mocks locations via a track file in GPX format.

Each <trkpt> must have:

• lat and lon attributes
• a <time> element with the value in format yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ or yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ,

and optionally:

• <ele> elements for elevation. e.g. <ele>105.32</ele>
• <speed> elements for speed in m/s. e.g. <speed>2.5</speed>
• <accuracy> elements for accuracy in meters. e.g. <accuracy>7.41</accuracy>

An example GPX track file can be found here: mock_track.gpx

GPX track files must be put on the device in an accessible folder, e.g.:

/sdcard/Mocks/

The app should be granted read external storage and location permissions if requested. The app must be set as the Mock Location App in Developer Options. Mock route can be started from the app UI by tapping on "RUN MOCK ROUTE" and choosing the GPX file via the File Picker UI. Location mocking can be stopped by tapping "CLEAR MOCK ROUTE".
