copied!<p>I spent about one day to configure the new gmaps <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface" rel="nofollow noreferrer">API</a> (Google Maps Android API v2) on the Android emulator. None of the methods of those I found on the Internet was working correctly for me. But still I did it. Here is how:</p> <ol> <li>Create a new emulator with the following configuration:</li> </ol> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/8lzjm.png" alt="Enter image description here"></p> <p>On the other versions I could not configure because of various errors when I installed the necessary applications.</p> <p>2) Start the emulator and install the following applications:</p> <ul> <li>GoogleLoginService.apk</li> <li>GoogleServicesFramework.apk</li> <li>Phonesky.apk</li> </ul> <p>You can do this with following commands:</p> <p>2.1) <code>adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system</code><br> 2.2) <code>adb shell chmod 777 /system/app</code><br> 2.3-2.5) <code>adb push Each_of_the_3_apk_files.apk /system/app/</code></p> <p>Links to <a href="http://www.dropbox.com/sh/20hcf8kxdk19z3c/Ukc8uGnk7p" rel="nofollow noreferrer">download APK files</a>. I have copied them from my rooted Android device.</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.dropbox.com/s/lfde3juixuy88rg/GoogleLoginService.apk" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GoogleLoginService.apk</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.dropbox.com/s/9kurwyhbbuecaea/GoogleServicesFramework.apk" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GoogleServicesFramework.apk</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.dropbox.com/s/9x8924gtb52ksn6/Phonesky.apk" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Phonesky.apk</a></li> </ul> <p>3) Install <em>Google Play Services</em> and <em>Google Maps</em> on the emulator. I have an error 491, if I install them from <em>Google Play</em> store. I uploaded the apps to the emulator and run the installation locally. (You can use <code>adb</code> to install this). Links to the apps: </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.dropbox.com/s/koo4wiwqg8agy8n/com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Google Maps</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.dropbox.com/s/bh058hbrelccfsr/com.google.android.gms-2.apk" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Google Play services</a></li> </ul> <p>4) I successfully run a demo sample on the emulator after these steps.
