Question

Answer 1

HERE WAS THE PROBLEM: Android Emulator

Scroll down to "Working with the Extended Controls, Settings, and Help".
Long story short: IF YOU ARE USING AN EMULATOR, YOU HAVE TO FAKE YOUR LOCATION DATA!!!!! The emulator doesn't support wifi (or as far as I can tell, GPS data either).

Click on your "phone" (your emulator) to make sure it's selected, and press ctrl+shift+L Type in any location you want and click "Send" and viola... you'll have a location. I knew something was up when GoogleMaps on my emulator wasn't even working. I would search for directions and it would say "Waiting for Location" and nothing would happen.

Good freaking riddance.
