Google Maps V2 isn't meant to work on an emulator since it is bundled with the Google Play Services.

If you're still wondering how to make it work on the emulator, you might want to give this blog post and SO answer a read. As pointed out by CommonsWare, the tweaks listed in these article boil down to pirating software. If you're really thinking about developing on Android, you might wanna consider buying a device.

  • "Google Maps V2 won't work on an emulator without some tweaks." -- only if by "tweaks" you mean "pirating software". – CommonsWare Jan 21 '13 at 19:17
