Emulator Control
The last tab in the DDMS is the so-called Emulator Control. By selecting one of our adb devices and starting it, a tab with some additional options will be shown:
With the emulator control, we can modify our phone network in several ways:
- It is possible to select a different configuration for the data and voice (home network, roaming, not found, denied, and so on)
- The speed and latency of the Internet connection can be defined
- It is possible to simulate an incoming phone call or an incoming SMS from a defined phone number
- We can send fake locations to our emulator. This can be done either manually or by uploading a GPX/KML file
