App with dependency to Google Play Services 11.0.0 not running on Android Studio emulators

I am using play services on Android to request periodic user locations. For that purpose, I added the following dependency on my app/build.gradle
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.0"
In physical devices it works pretty well. However, on emulators it does not work and it prompts to update play services.
I have tried different solutions according to following questions
How to update Google Play Services for Android Studio 2.2 emulators?
How to update Google Play Services on the emulator in Android Studio
https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/176578/how-to-use-google-maps-android-api-by-google-play-services-11-on-an-emulator-wit (it was marked as off-the-topic, but here the same problem is described)
I tried creating a new emulator with an x86_64 image with Google APIs, but that does not solve the problem.
I have also checked for updates on Android Studio (I have version 2.3.3) but it says the IDE is up to date.
How can I run Google Play Services V11.0.0 and above on emulators? Any help with this issue will be appreciated

Google released emulator images featuring the whole Google Play Store. Those should be able to get the most recent version of the PlayServices via the Play Store.

./Gradlew Build is taking 2 hours and 40 minutes - Is there any room for improvement?

The app that we are working on is not very large - most of it is an empty application that gets filled in from various endpoints (server side), but we currently have 18 separate flavors of the app that get built.
The issue is, there will be 78 flavors of the application built and if the build time is linear, we are looking at about 11 hours per ./gradlew build request.
Im not well versed in Gradle at all and I was hoping you guys could help me find some problem areas that might be able to improve our build times

Here is what we have in the gradle properties:

Any input would be greatly appreciated - like I said, I'm not well versed in gradle at all, so I'm open to anything.
Thank you in advance

I'm sure you figured something out by now, but just for future googlers -
Android Studio gradle takes too long to build improved the speed of my gradle build drastically. It suggests enabling Offline work in Android Studio by going to file>settings>build, execution, deployment>gradle and checking the "Offline work" option.

Databinding fails with NoSuchMethodError

After updating to gradle 2.10 every time when I try to assemble debug build of the app I get the NoSuchMethodError exception. Here is the relevant part of the build log:
java.lang.RuntimeException: failure, see logs for details.

Question
Did anyone else had the same problem? How to fix it? If you need some extra information, please let me know in comments.

Have you tried the new patch on jitpack of simular issue #134 clean-build, there seemed to be something wrong with gradle import ordering you can try it with :
repositories {
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.github.denis-itskovich:gradle-retrolambda:3.2.3-fix-134'
}

It looks like there is an error with a plugin after upgrading the Android Studio.
If you go in : <Android Studio Dir>/plugins/android/lib/builder-model-x.x.x.jar you may find 2 .jars. Try to delete the old version .jar and keep the new one and also clean and rebuild the project.
if the above does not work try this:
Change the version of Objectify library in the build.gradle file of your backend to 4.0b to 5.0.3 or higher if it exists.
This is may sound irrelevant but objectify 4.0b library has same classes with same package name which are present in appengine sdk like com.google.common.base.Strings.isNullOrEmpty.
when you deploy the app backend the appengine classes are overridden by objectify classes and hence when you try to call some method it is throwing error.
This is solved in objectify 5.0.+
Hope it helps as it helped me solving this issue.

How to include .aar dependency into Android library .aar file

I write some library, which has a portion of UI. Also, this library uses another libraries.
I want to provide release .aar to use this portion of UI in any App.
My library has next dependecies:
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'
compile ('com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.2.1'){
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
}
compile 'com.inthecheesefactory.thecheeselibrary:stated-fragment-support-v4:0.10.0'
//Http communication, websockets, etc.
compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.4.0'
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:1.9.0'
//Fonts
compile 'uk.co.chrisjenx:calligraphy:2.1.0'
//Unit tests
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.9.5'
//Other
compile ('org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.4'){
exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents'
}
//Reactive programmnig
compile 'io.reactivex:rxjava:1.0.13'
compile 'io.reactivex:rxandroid:0.25.0'
compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.6.1'
When I built .aar everything is fine, but when I inlude this .aar into another app, I have next problems:
1). ./gradlew clean build

Solution is very simple - add to MainApp/app/build.gradle next line:
compile 'uk.co.chrisjenx:calligraphy:2.1.0'
2). When I run MainApp getting this error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.my.sdk.ui.fragment.DialogAppNotInstalledFragment
To solve this I need to add compile 'com.inthecheesefactory.thecheeselibrary:stated-fragment-support-v4:0.10.0' to MainApp/app/build.gradle.
Same to other dependecies.
In the result I need just copy-paste all my dependecies from my library project to MainApp project.
Is it possible to make library aar contain all necessery dependecies?

Does binding class will generate automatically?

I am developing a app with google databinding library. But i found every time i add a new layout xml and the correspond binding class won't generate. And i have to hit the build button on android studio, then the binding class will generate.
Here is the dependencies i use
app build.grade:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.android.databinding'
apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt'
apply plugin: 'me.tatarka.retrolambda'
apply plugin: 'com.jakewharton.hugo'
apply plugin: 'com.fernandocejas.frodo'

I solved the problem.
It's caused by android-apt.
