Pretend the device doesn’t have GPS

I wonder if there is any way to "cheat" the device during debug by saying that it has no GPS. I don’t want to just disable, otherwise during development the GPS will be found.

I have the purpose of checking whether the device has the GPS present or not.

I believe that by the debugger there is no pre-defined function for such a thing, but you can create a if and force her to be false, for example your code should be something like:

if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)){
    //Código com GPS
} else {
    //Código sem GPS
}

If you want to pretend that the GPS is not active do something like (apply the false):

if (false && locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)){
    //Código com GPS
} else {
    //Código sem GPS
}

Or you can simply comment on this line in the manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

And leave it at that:

<!-- uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" / -->

    Thanks, I ended up forgetting that could deny the existence of the GPS in the device, thanks.
