Answer 1

Check to make sure that you run on a google api emulator.

Answer 2

Check to make sure that your project target in Eclipse (or in your default.properties) has 'Google APIs' in the name, indicating that you're compiling with the Google APIs Add-On.

Also make sure you've set the correct <uses-library> element in your manifest:

<application android:name="MyApplication">
  <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
  ...
</application>

For more information on the Google APIs Add-On and using Maps, see this link:

Answer 3

To run on Google API emulator, open your Android SDK & AVD Manager > Available packages > Google Repos > select those Google API levels that you need to test on.

After installing them, add them as virtual device and run.

Answer 4

I had an apk which i had to install on AVD 4.3 but installation failed due to INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY

All i had to to was Go android sdk manager -> extras and then install all of the libraries present in that (like android support library etc)

then restart emulator and installation must be fine
