Google Play Services in emulator, implementing Google Plus login button etc

by

Google Play services works on the 4.2.2 versions of the Android Emulator and is officially supported as described in the Android documentation: Setup Google Play Services.

Update

You now can use the Intel/x86 images (HAXM-compatible) for API 19 and newer and for ARM, Google Play Services is available on most images.

Setting up the image

To get the right image for your virtual device manager:

  • Open the Android SDK Manager
  • Open the group Android 4.2.2 (API 17)
  • Check Google APIs
  • Check ARM EABI v7a System Image

enter image description here

To create the Virtual Device:

  • Open the Android Virtual Device Manager
  • Create a New device
  • Enter an AVD name
  • Set the target to Google APIs (Google Inc.) – API Level 17
  • Save your Virtual device and start it…

Note CPU/ABI will be fixed as ARM

Now you should be able to use the Google Play Services in the emulator. Of note, you need to set your target appropriately in your Android project to the Google APIs in order for Google Play Services to work.
