DDMS is not able to send location to the emulator. I have tried sending just the location from DDMS but still the emulator is not able to receive location. The application works properly in the device but its not able to capture location data in the emulator.

I am testing on Android 2.2 emulator. Can anyone let me know what can be the issue?

Make sure your AVD has GPS support hardware set to true

Create New AVD > Hardware > New > GPS support

Value should be "yes"

Also, ensure your app is requesting location updates in some way, otherwise the emulator will just ignore any incoming locations from DDMS or the console.
