title: Android Emulator does not detect GPS
body: <p>I am trying to test an Android application that does GPS tracking. Unfortunately, I get the following error when installing the app on the emulator:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Package: com.google.android.maps.appname requires unavailable feature android.hardware.location.gps; failing!
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The virtual device that I am using is "Google APIs (Google Inc.) 8" and I made sure that GPS was included in the hardware list.</p>
  
  <p>The error above I believe happens at the following point in the manifest:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps" android:required="true"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone know what the cause of this error might be and what I can do to fix it?</p>
