Description

No functional implementation of this plugin has been created yet, and no designs have been specified. The following are my initial thoughts for how this should function.

  • Allow location mocking selection either via lat lng, address, city, or map selection
  • Maintain an LRU of recently mocked locations for ease of access
  • Display some UI to make it clear that location is being mocked (notification?)

Research direction
Explore existing plugin implementations in Hyperion Android (e.g., attribute inspector) to understand the plugin API. Check the issue comments for any additional requirements. Consider mocking location via lat/lng, address, or map selection. Implement an LRU cache for recent locations and a UI indicator. Start by reading the plugin development guide in the repository's documentation.
