Battery parts

 

Battery parts allow you to modify the battery power, power status, and power mode of Genymotion Virtual Devices.

First, use the corresponding panel button to open the part.

Activate analog battery mode

By default, Genymotion Virtual Devices simulate the battery power of the device based on the battery power on the computer. This button activates the battery simulation function, allowing you to adjust the battery value at will for application testing.

If your computer does not have a battery, such as a desktop computer, this simulation function is automatically activated.

Change battery power

When the simulated battery is activated, you can adjust the current battery of Genymotion by entering a value in the slider or manually entering a value in the corresponding area.

Modify Battery status

After the simulated battery is activated, you can click the corresponding button to modify the battery status:

Charging: the power supply is connected. The current battery is in the charging status.

Discharge: the power supply is not connected, and the battery is in the discharge state.

GPS Components

 

The GPS part allows you to activate and modify the location, accuracy, and direction of the Virtual Device in real time.

Activate GPS

When you use the corresponding buttons to activate GPS, you have also opened an account for generating and receiving the GPS framework in the Genymotion virtual device. When the device is in the inactive status, GPS Cannot refresh the current location of the device and continue to use the last known location.

Modify location

In the geographic latitude and longitude input area, you can modify the current location of the virtual device. The specific value must be in a specific range: the latitude ranges from-90.0 ° to 90.0 °, and the longitude ranges from-180 ° to 180 °.

Modify altitude

You can set the current altitude between-10000 and 10000.

Modification Accuracy

You can use the slider or enter a value to modify the positioning accuracy. The value range is from 0 to 200.

Modify Orientation

You can use the corresponding dial or enter a value to modify the orientation. The value range is from 0 ° to 359.99 °.

Please note that although many applications do not rely on GPS for positioning, they will conduct direction measurement through the accelerator or gyroscope in the device. Currently, these two mechanisms are not supported.
