c# - How to use the Input.Location and mock location in the unity editor -

i building location based game, bit pokemon go. reading location on android phone without problem, can't location data when i'm developing in unity editor since input.location.isenabledbyuser false in editor

it ok mock/hard code location, can try without deploying phone.

i tried hard code this:

locationinfo readlocation(){     #if unity_editor      var location = new locationinfo();     location.latitude = 59.000f;     location.longitude = 18.000f;     location.altitude= 0.0f;     location.horizontalaccuracy = 5.0f;     location.verticalaccuracy = 5.0f;      return location;     #elif     return input.location.lastdata;     #endif } 

but of properties of location read only, i'm getting compilation errors. there way enable location service in editor, or hardcode location?

is there way enable location service in editor, or hardcode location?

this 1 of reasons why unity remote 4 made. setup unity remote connect mobile device editor. can real location editor.

but of properties of location read only

if want develop way mock location, have abandon unity's locationinfo structure. make own custom locationinfo , name locationinfoext. ext = extended.

do the-same thing locationservice too, wrap official locationservice custom locationserviceext class. can use locationserviceext decide if should mock location using locationinfoext or not mock location using locationinfo internally provide result.

in example below, official locationservice, locationinfo , locationservicestatus class/struct/enum replaced locationserviceext, locationinfoext , locationservicestatusext. have the-same functions , properties implemented. difference can pass true/false constructor of locationserviceext in order use in editor.

locationserviceext wrapper class:

create class called locationserviceext copy code below it: has every function , property original locationservice class.

using unityengine; using system.collections; using unityengine.ui;  public class locationserviceext {     private locationservice reallocation;      private bool usemocklocation = false;     private locationinfoext mockedlastdata;     private locationservicestatusext mockedstatus;     private bool misenabledbyuser = false;      public locationserviceext(bool mocklocation = false)     {         this.usemocklocation = mocklocation;          if (mocklocation)         {             misenabledbyuser = true;             mockedlastdata = getmocklocation();         }         else         {             reallocation = new locationservice();         }     }      public bool isenabledbyuser     {         //reallocation.isenabledbyuser seems failing on android. input.location.isenabledbyuser fix         { return usemocklocation ? misenabledbyuser : input.location.isenabledbyuser; }         set { misenabledbyuser = value; }     }       public locationinfoext lastdata     {         { return usemocklocation ? mockedlastdata : getreallocation(); }         set { mockedlastdata = value; }     }      public locationservicestatusext status     {         { return usemocklocation ? mockedstatus : getrealstatus(); }         set { mockedstatus = value; }     }      public void start()     {         if (usemocklocation)         {             mockedstatus = locationservicestatusext.running;         }         else         {             reallocation.start();         }     }      public void start(float desiredaccuracyinmeters)     {         if (usemocklocation)         {             mockedstatus = locationservicestatusext.running;         }         else         {             reallocation.start(desiredaccuracyinmeters);         }     }      public void start(float desiredaccuracyinmeters, float updatedistanceinmeters)     {         if (usemocklocation)         {             mockedstatus = locationservicestatusext.running;         }         else         {             reallocation.start(desiredaccuracyinmeters, updatedistanceinmeters);         }     }      public void stop()     {         if (usemocklocation)         {             mockedstatus = locationservicestatusext.stopped;         }         else         {             reallocation.stop();         }     }      //predefined location. override overriding lastdata class      private locationinfoext getmocklocation()     {         locationinfoext location = new locationinfoext();         location.latitude = 59.000f;         location.longitude = 18.000f;         location.altitude = 0.0f;         location.horizontalaccuracy = 5.0f;         location.verticalaccuracy = 5.0f;         location.timestamp = 0f;         return location;     }      private locationinfoext getreallocation()     {         if (reallocation == null)             return new locationinfoext();          locationinfo realloc = reallocation.lastdata;         locationinfoext location = new locationinfoext();         location.latitude = realloc.latitude;         location.longitude = realloc.longitude;         location.altitude = realloc.altitude;         location.horizontalaccuracy = realloc.horizontalaccuracy;         location.verticalaccuracy = realloc.verticalaccuracy;         location.timestamp = realloc.timestamp;         return location;     }      private locationservicestatusext getrealstatus()     {         locationservicestatus realstatus = reallocation.status;         locationservicestatusext stats = locationservicestatusext.stopped;          if (realstatus == locationservicestatus.stopped)             stats = locationservicestatusext.stopped;          if (realstatus == locationservicestatus.initializing)             stats = locationservicestatusext.initializing;          if (realstatus == locationservicestatus.running)             stats = locationservicestatusext.running;          if (realstatus == locationservicestatus.failed)             stats = locationservicestatusext.failed;          return stats;     } }  public struct locationinfoext {     public float altitude { get; set; }     public float horizontalaccuracy { get; set; }     public float latitude { get; set; }     public float longitude { get; set; }     public double timestamp { get; set; }     public float verticalaccuracy { get; set; } }  public enum locationservicestatusext {     stopped = 0,     initializing = 1,     running = 2,     failed = 3, } 

usage:

create mock location

locationserviceext locationserviceext = new locationserviceext(true); 

create real location

locationserviceext locationserviceext = new locationserviceext(false); 

modify location later on

locationinfoext locinfo = new locationinfoext(); locinfo.latitude = 59.000f; locinfo.longitude = 18.000f; locinfo.altitude = -3.0f; //0.0f; locinfo.horizontalaccuracy = 5.0f; locinfo.verticalaccuracy = 5.0f;  locationserviceext.lastdata = locinfo; //apply location change
