Hi. I've been struggling to find the most appropriate forum to post my issue, so if I'm in the wrong area, I apologize.
Im a java programmer new to android. I'm currently doing some research into geo location based applications and privacy and want to develop an app that can counter the privacy concerns.
I want to develop a security app for a college project that can alter my gps co ordinates on my device, thus fooling all other apps on my phone into thinking Im somewhere else, may be another country or just a mile away.
I am aware that there are apps out there in the play store to do this
I believe there are classes and methods that can be used. such as Location and setMockLocation. I could use some advice or a point in the right direction.
I believe these methods and classes are normally used for testing purposes but If I could use them to say fool a service into thinking Im in my city, but not in my neighborhood.
Any help, advice would be greatly appreciated
