i programmed an android app which uses the google maps api v2. i want to test it on the emulator, but to show the map it has a little bit problems. i googled and found the articel, that i have to install to packages (vending.apk, android.gms.apk). i downloaded the packages and installed it. what i did not know is, the installed android.gms.apk is not up to date. when i run the app on the emulator, it shows an button an a message: ...update Google Play services. And now i found the newest version of the .gms.apk. but i am not able to remove or update the google play services on the emulator, because i became the following message from the cmd:

  • Use the official Google APIs and the 4.2.2 image as described in this Stack Overflow answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16000548/google-play-services-in-emulator-implementing-google-plus-login-button-etc/17245326#17245326 – class Jun 21 '13 at 22:49

Installing google service packages; gms and vending

  • Be sure that emulator started
  • Copy com.google.android.gms-19032013.apk and com.google.android.vending-19032013.apk files to < bundle root >\sdk\platform-tools from my blog.
  • Open command prompt and go to < bundel root >\sdk\platform-tools
  • then run command adb install com.google.android.gms-19032013.apk
  • then run command adb install com.android.vending-19032013.apk if it says already exits then run commands -adb uninstall com.android.vending -adb uninstall com.google.android.gms

I had similar problems so I prepared step by step tutorial to show how you can use google map android v2 on emulator(android 4.2.2) have a look at to my blog: http://umut.tekguc.info/en/content/google-android-map-v2-step-step

adb uninstall cannot work for system apps is what I am finding out. And Vending and gms are system apps. Therefore adb uninstall com.android.vending causes a failure even if I su. So is there no resolution to this problem?

I can't install it even if I use -r because the certificates are different.

you should try it on android instead of google api's , i am sure it will work for you. because google api's have already installed these apk's.

user2414493 My original reason to try and reinstall is because even with google API 19 my App which mind you works on Samsung s3 and Nexus 4 crashes. Right before it crashes it prints this

Google Play services out of date. Requires 4132500 but found 4033530.

Infact on google API 19 even google Maps is not working completely! I can't get my current location even though I have internet connection and 4g emulated.
