Unable to get token on API level 17

Question

I am running these commands in order to get a token:

  InstanceID instanceID = InstanceID.getInstance(getApplicationContext());
  String token = instanceID.g         


        

Answer 1

According to official docs:

https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/iid/InstanceID#ERROR_MISSING_INSTANCEID_SERVICE

you get this error because

Tokens can't be generated. Only devices with Google Play are supported.

Testing on emulator without Google Play Services enabled/installed?

Answer 2

You need to install the gapps of the version of android in your emulator, if use the genymotion you need to install before the gapps di Genymotion-ARM-Translation_v1.1 after that, probably will work
