Question

I\'m testing out the new Google Maps API V2 for Android, and I\'m getting this message when the app launches:

Answer 1

I spent about one day to configure the new gmaps API (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:

1. Create a new emulator with the following configuration:

On the other versions I could not configure because of various errors when I installed the necessary applications.

2) Start the emulator and install the following applications:

• GoogleLoginService.apk
• GoogleServicesFramework.apk
• Phonesky.apk

You can do this with following commands:

2.1) adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
2.2) adb shell chmod 777 /system/app
2.3-2.5) adb push Each_of_the_3_apk_files.apk /system/app/

Links to download APK files. I have copied them from my rooted Android device.

• GoogleLoginService.apk
• GoogleServicesFramework.apk
• Phonesky.apk

3) Install Google Play Services and Google Maps on the emulator. I have an error 491, if I install them from Google Play store. I uploaded the apps to the emulator and run the installation locally. (You can use adb to install this). Links to the apps:

• Google Maps
• Google Play services

4) I successfully run a demo sample on the emulator after these steps. Here is a screenshot:
