Flutter: getLocation works on a real phone, but does not work on the (Android) emulator

Time:12-23

I'm trying to get a GPS location using the Location package (Flutter 2.8).

When I'm using the (real) phone, it works with no problems. However, on the (Android) emulator, a call to: _currentLocation = await _location.getLocation();

never returns. The function just gets stuck and does not go to the next line.

I did all the needed changes to AndroidManifest.xml and I have all the permissions.

Any idea why?

Thanks a lot!

  • Go to the emulator settings (usually three dots on the control panel of the emulator)
  • Then go to the Location tab
  • Select a location on map and save it then select it and set it as
    your location
