Running BigArrow in an emulator
Unfortunately, this isn't currently possible because of this AVD bug: https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=5440. The following instructions will, in theory, work once Google fix the AVD problem.
Create an emuator running at least 4.2.2 with Google APIs (this is not the minimum API version of the app, but is the minimum API version that Google Maps v2 API will work on). Make sure the emulator has a camera.
To set the location of the emulator, start it and open the DDMS perspective. Select the emulator in the Devices pane. On the right hand side, select the Emulator Control tab. At the bottom of this pane are the controls for setting the faux-GPS location. You can set any location, but it's better for testing if you know where you're meant to be. For a Brighton location, enter
Lat: 50.832362
Long: -0.131396
This is a handy site for finding out the coordinates of a given place on a map.
Click Send to set the location of the emulator.
