I have created a virtual device API 17 using Google API but after starting the devices I can only see google location apps like Google Maps, Local, Navigation and there is Google Settings too but I can't find Google Play Store even though Google Play Services is listed among the installed applications.

Google has steadily been introducing Android apps and Play store to ChromeOS, with the announcement today that all Chromebooks will run Android apps. Is there any way Android developers can access data about usage on these devices, via the Play console?
I recently replaced AdMob library with Google Mobile Ads and I have a question about that: Will ads appear on Amazon Kindle Fire devices?
I ask this because I know that Google Mobile Ads depends on Google Play Services, so I'm a little confused.
Google Play Services still supports devices that don't have the Google Play store
installed on it. The only difference is that devices without the Play
Store (and the accompanied Google Play Services app) on it will not receive automatic
updates, so you'll still want to grab new versions of the library
provided in Android SDK manager and include them when releasing your
app.
As you can see above, if Google Play Services is not installed on the device, it will fall back to the version you included with your app as a library.

I want to show Google Maps on my emulator.
I'm using API 17 and installed gsm.APK & vending.APK
The emulator tells me I need to update the google services.
When I push update it go to google play and do nothing.
I also get this warning on LogCat
google play services out of date requires 4242000 but found 4131530
What can I do?
To my knowledge, you cannot run Google maps on the built-in emulator. They just don't work. You need to test your app on either a device or a 3rd party emulator.
For my needs, I'm a huge fan of the Genymotion device-specific emulators
I'm developing an android app which runs on devices 2.X up.
It uses Google maps V2 API.
I just installed the app in logitech revue Google TV with android 3.2 and maps do not work. I looked up and Google play services does not seem to be installed.
I looked it up on the play store and it does not show up, neither google maps official app.
So i guess google maps native api is not available on any google tv?
Thanks!
Even when Google Play Services hits your TV, I don't think Google Maps Android API v2 was optimized for devices without touch screen. Some more work has to be done there in the implementation before it is sensible to use API V2 on TVs.
I am trying to develop some android apps using google maps android api 2. But it seems that it is using google play service and most chinese android phones (including knock-off one) don't even have google play. Can I use google maps in my app if the app is going to be deployed in china ?
