My current location always locates google plex in Flutter

Question

My current location always shows Google Plex when I clicked the current location button. I don't know where is the error as I already added my API and asked for user permissions which are

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

in AndriodManifest.xml. I really need help to solve this problem. Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Are you using emulator or a real device? The emulator uses Google Plex as its default location. To set a different location, you must open the emulator's extended controls by clicking on the ellipsis at the bottom of the sidebar.
