I need to mock my location in my smart phone? Is there any app for this?
For some reason you have posted in the Android Wear section of XDA. Probably because you didn't read the rules when you joined (about 10 seconds before you posted). You also didn't search XDA for your request, as if you had you would have got literally hundreds of hits.
I suppose this is too much to hope, but have you by any chance searched Google Play Store for 'mock location'? Doh! I must be stupid, we've already established that you don't search.
TL;DR Just search Google Play Store for 'mock location'... and RTFM.

Hi,
I write on a little gps/google maps tool which I use for my running sport (something like MyTracks). Today Google anounced that the usage of the Google Maps API will cost when you are above a daily limit -> http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2011/10/introduction-of-usage-limits-to-maps.html
In this blog and in the faq they are writing of websites and applications. Are applications = android applications? If this is true than it will be difficult to write a freeware app which uses Google Maps because the more users will be using this app the more you will pay. Even with a paid app you cant cover all the costs because you only get a one time a payment from a user but if your app exceeds the limits you have to pay google on a daily basis.
I hope I just missunderstood this blog post or the Google Maps API within Android isn't affected.
What do you think?
Seems unlikely that an Android app (assuming counted by a single app usage, not by everyone using the app at any given time) could exceed 25,000 map loads per day, but then I've never counted map loads... if that is a possiblity, then this is really going to suck the wind out of google maps!
Then again, I've always wondered when Google was going to start charging for services that have become exceedingly popular.

Huh lufc,
why do you move this thread? The normal user don't have a problem if the developer have to pay or not. It's only a developer thing/problem, imho. But ok, it's your decision.
anyone know what could be done about this?
basically if the Play Store app is still running in the background - which is going to be the case for most users once they first download and install the app - after interaction with any in-app purchase-related dialog box the Play Store is brought back into focus and users must make there way back to the app to complete tasks. how can this be prevented?
reported this a s a bug: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=32878
it has been noticed that a similar app does not launch Google Play as a separate process at the point of sale, but ours does. could this be a factor and/or is Google Play being launched an undesired action, result of a coding error?

apologies. havent been here in a while. no one here has any experience with implementing in-app billing?
With the recent update to Google Search for Android you can no longer disable web searches. Every time you use the universal search on the phone you must wait for the web results to return and they are listed before the apps. For people who primarily use the search functionality for accessing apps this poses difficulty.
What is the best way around this? At present I've just been using an older version of the Google Search apk. Is the best way around this hacking the current Google Search apk to just have a different package name and use that from now on? Does anyone know if there is a hack to disable web searches in the new Google Search with integrated Google Now?
Also posted a poll along with this to see if other people find this intentional exclusion of web search options annoying. Thanks in advance.
Hi everbody,
I released my first game on Android recently, but I have no idea how Google Play organises its search results.
The game is called 'Get to Zero' by Will Wu and it doesn't show up as the first result when you type it in Google Play search.
Like wth? I've read up on it and it seems that Google Play also includes the app description as part of the search. That's not really fair is it considering the thing I'm searching for perfectly matches the title of the app.
The only way to search for my game seems to be adding my name at the end of the search i.e. 'get to zero will wu'. I imagine what could be the case is the name of my game includes very common words 'get' and 'to' which Google Play might filter as part of the search .
So I'd like to ask, how does one increase ASO for something like this?
Any help is much appreciated!
I also have a thread on XDA for the game here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/game-to-zero-youve-played-puzzle-game-t3108522 if you want to give feedback
hi folks,I cannot be the only person on xda with this problem,which is,how to search through 4000 apps in MY APPS that I want to keep listed but would like to be able to find the one I want/need in less than a week.
any ideas/advice ?
I would prefer an app that can use different filters,like age,device etc etc.
I presume google refuse access to apps/software that would make this possible,its ridiculous that I have to install a seperate app to find the apps I have paid for,or muck about in a browser at my google account history to even do that simple task.
have looked for years and still not found a tool for searching my apps,and google do not appear to want to make it possible.
I just use the search function in Google Play Store.
