> How do you spoof Wi-Fi location on Android?

On a real device? You can't do this.

With an Android emulator you can spoof any location you want for the
apps. But this is only possible because the emulator is controlled by
the host PC. On a real device you would need to fake the database which
is used to derive the location based on the Wi-Fi SSID(s) the device can
see.

No, it is not "GPS location" it is really just the location of the Wi-Fi
access point which Google recorder earlier when other devices had GPS
*and* Wi-Fi active and the users allowed Google to use that data in the
device settings (maybe this is even the default, I am not sure).

You can't.
