I am trying to run Map-API in an Emulator (PS: I don't have a device)

My research on Internet::

  1. I found lot of posts on Stackoverflow and other forms on using a fix to run MAP-API in android emulator
  2. Then i found out none of them work anymore when i tested the solutions
  3. Then most of developers indicated to use Genymotion, which comes with built in googlePlaystore
  4. With lot of hurdles i installed gennymotion to my pc and configured with eclipse
  5. What i found out was even googlePlayServices is not availabe in Gennymotion too ?
  6. Then i again searched for how to get the google play services in gennymotion, not success

Snapshot of my Gennymotion(Observe that there is no googlePlay services) Image

My Questions::

  • Is it possible to run google play services in gennymotion ? If possible how ?
  • what are other alternatives to achive my goal?

Que :Is it possible to run google play services in gennymotion ? If possible how ?

Ans : Yes

Check this link here : Install Google Play on Genymotion

Steps :

  1. Download Google Apps zip file.
  2. Start the virtual device and once it is up and running drag and drop the zip file onto the device.
  3. Next you will get a file flashable dialog click ok.
  4. You will continue to see the File Transfer dialog let it run. You will (may) get errors that pop up just ignore them for now. When you get a file flashed successful dialog, click ok.
  5. Restart the virtual device. You may still be getting error dialogs. just click ok and carry on.
  6. If the Add Google Account Screen does not come up right away go to the apps and open up Play Store this should trigger the Add a Google Account screen. go ahead and select the option appropriate for you and sign in or create an account. During the process you still may get errors like before just ignore it and click OK.

Hope this helps.
