Solution 1:

I got finally map in my emulator. I followed these steps to achieve it.

1. Create avd and start emulator

2. Go to platform tools path present in Android SDK and put these apk's in it.

   • com.android.vending-20130716
   • com.google.android.gms-20130716
3. Install these apk's one by one by going to platform tools path by using command prompt(shift+Right click-->open command window here).Follow these commands
   • adb devices
   • adb install com.android.vending-20130716
   • adb install com.google.android.gms-20130716
4. Import google-play-services_lib project which is present at project location and add it to your project.
5. Restart emulator and clean your project and run it through emulator.

That's it. :) you can download above apk's from following link

Running Google Maps v2 on the Android emulator

Solution 2:

In Android 4.4, it is now possible to run Google Maps in the Android emulator, even with Intel HAXM AVD. No need to run anything on the adb command anymore. It takes several steps, though. I created a series of videos on the subject, if it helps. I use a JSON feed to put markers on a map in a 4.4 emulator. They are about 30 minutes each, so you may want to skip ahead to find what you want. The first two videos are the most relevant for this question. I have three more videos in the series that deal with JSON and markers... see my YouTube channel for those.

Solution 3:

First make sure you have internet access

and the the following permission in your manifest: `

<permissionandroid:name="com.example.mapdemo.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"android:protectionLevel="signature"/><uses-permissionandroid:name="com.example.mapdemo.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/><!--

The ACCESS_COARSE/FINE_LOCATION permissions are not required to use Google Maps Android API v2, but are recommended. --> `

Solution 4:

Google Maps v2 requires Google Play Services , it's not available in Android emulator. You can try this blog post , should be helpful for you.

If map loading is the only issue you have then I am pretty sure that its api key issue. Please recheck that in manifest.

Solution 5:

Google map can not load in emulator.

You need to install application in real device.

Or optionally you can use Bluestack and test your application in it.
