This app won't run unless you update Google Pl

Question

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

This is running on an 4.1 emulator.

Here is my AndroidManifest.xml file:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.maptest"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="15" />

    <permission
        android:name="com.example.maptest.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
        android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="com.example.maptest.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

    <!-- Require OpenGL ES version 2 -->
    <uses-feature
          android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
          android:required="true"/>

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_main" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
            android:value="##myapikey##"/>

    </application>
</manifest>

File MainActivity.java:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
        return true;
    }
}

File activity_main.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Clicking "Update" crashes the app with the following stacktrace:

I've also referenced the Google Play Services project. What am I doing wrong here?

UPDATE

The corresponding bug in Google issue tracker (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35822258) was solved some time ago.

Now you can use Google Maps Android API in emulator and create Virtual devices with Play services as described in this answer:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/46246782/5140781

Answer 1

According to a discussion with Android Developers on Google+, running the new Map API on the emulator is not possible at the moment.

(The comment is from Zhelyazko Atanasov yesterday at 23:18, I don't know how to link directly to it)

Also, you don't see the "(via Bazaar)" part when running from an actual device, and the update button open the Play Store. I am assuming Bazaar is meant to provide Google Play Services on the Android emulator, but it is not ready yet...

Answer 2

I have found a nice solution which let you test your app in the emulator and also doesn't require you to revert to the older version of the library. See an answer to Stack Overflow question Running Google Maps v2 on the Android emulator.

Answer 3

I've created a (German) description how to get it working. You basically need an emulator with at least API level 9 and no Google APIs. Then you'll have to get the APKs from a rooted device:

adb -d pull /data/app/com.android.vending-2.apk
adb -d pull /data/app/com.google.android.gms-2.apk

and install them in the emulator:

adb -e install com.android.vending-2.apk
adb -e install com.google.android.gms-2.apk

You can even run the native Google Maps App, if you have an emulator with at least API level 14 and additionally install com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk

Have fun.

Answer 4

 just change it to 

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.6.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.6.0'

this works for me current version is 10.0.1

Answer 5

This app won't run unless you update Google Play Services. I have tried it for such a long much time, but still I didn't get the map... Only a blank screen is appearing, even if I modified my Google Play Service given by the below comment..

---

Check your play services manifest file and check the version code for the APK file com.google.android.gms. In the below, it is "3136110". Download these APK files and install from a DOS prompt, but before installation run your target emulator.

package="com.google.android.gms"
android:versionCode="3136110"
android:versionName="3.1.36 (673201-10)

I got these APK files from this link.

Answer 6

After updating to ADT 22.0.1, due to Android private libraries, the Google Maps service was giving some error and the app crashed. So I found the solution finally and it worked for me.

Just install the Google Play service library and then go to google-play-service/libproject/google-play-services_lib from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2ok76ep7lmav0qf/9XVlv61D2b. Import that into your workspace. Clean your project where you want to use gogole-play-services-lib and then build it again and go to the Project -> Properties -> Java BuildPath -> select "Android Private Libraries, Android Dependencies, google-play-service"

In Properties itself, go to Android and then choose any of the versions and then choose add and select google-play-service-lib and then press apply and finally OK.

At last, go to the Project -> Android Tools -> Android Support Libraries. Accept the license and after installing then run your project.

It will work fine.
