Answer 1

you should try it on android instead of google api's , i am sure it will work for you. because google api's have already installed these apk's.

Answer 2

Installing google service packages; gms and vending

• Be sure that emulator started
• Copy com.google.android.gms-19032013.apk and com.google.android.vending-19032013.apk files to < bundle root >\sdk\platform-tools from my blog.
• Open command prompt and go to < bundel root >\sdk\platform-tools
• then run command adb install com.google.android.gms-19032013.apk
• then run command adb install com.android.vending-19032013.apk if it says already exits then run commands -adb uninstall com.android.vending -adb uninstall com.google.android.gms

I had similar problems so I prepared step by step tutorial to show how you can use google map android v2 on emulator(android 4.2.2) have a look at to my blog: http://umut.tekguc.info/en/content/google-android-map-v2-step-step

Answer 3

adb uninstall cannot work for system apps is what I am finding out. And Vending and gms are system apps. Therefore adb uninstall com.android.vending causes a failure even if I su. So is there no resolution to this problem?

I can't install it even if I use -r because the certificates are different.

Answer 5

user2414493 My original reason to try and reinstall is because even with google API 19 my App which mind you works on Samsung s3 and Nexus 4 crashes. Right before it crashes it prints this

Google Play services out of date. Requires 4132500 but found 4033530.

Infact on google API 19 even google Maps is not working completely! I can't get my current location even though I have internet connection and 4g emulated.
