I want to use Google Maps in my app
But when I run my app I get this error
This app won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your phone. GET GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES
I tried other solutions like installing the google api from SDK Manager but did not work, and still get the same error.
Anyone can help me?
In order to run application that uses Google Play Services, your emulator or device must have Google Play Services installed.
In Android SDK Manager allows you to install emulator system images with preinstalled Google Play Services.
When you have those installed on your system, you can then create emulator that will be able to run your application.
Open AVD Manager and create new emulator. Make sure that you use some of Google API system images.
it looks like your device/emulator don't have gapps isntalled.
Google Play Services is coming with Google apps (called gapps). A great tutorial can be found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528952
By the way, use CM11 gapps link.

I'm a newb to Android and Android Studio so I'm doing a Udemy course on it.
The course is now at the point where Android API's are being explored. The Android 8.0.0 Emulator however, does not have Google Play Services, and without Google Play I have no way of installing it... I have followed a couple of tutorials to get play services installed which involves downloading a zip and dragging it to the emulator.
After prompting me to install it just failed each time...
I have created a new Android Studio project with the Google Maps template and created API keys.
When building the app this is the screen I get:
Notably clicking update doesn't do anything...
Does anyone know how I can go about using Google Maps API's?
If your AVD supports updating Google Play Services, you should be able to update Play Services from the emulator settings screen:
If it does not, create a new AVD that indicates it does support updating Google Play Services, and try again. System images that support Google Play have a (Google Play) suffix in the chooser:
For the emulator I have below, I am getting the error message that "Google Play Services not installed on the device".
As per the developer site, it says that 'The Android emulator with an AVD that runs the Google APIs platform based on Android 4.2.2 or higher.
Not able to understand if the emulator is running 4.4.2 then why is google play services not present?

Quoting docs
If you want to test your app on the emulator, expand the directory for
Android 4.2.2 (API 17) or a higher version, select Google APIs, and
install it. Then create a new AVD with Google APIs as the platform
target.

I prefer testing on a real device which has google play services installed
You will not able to test the app using the Google-Play-Service library in emulator. In order to test that app in emulator you need to install some system framework in your emulator to make it work.

Refer the above answer to install Google play service on your emulator.
If you happen to not have the image, download it via the SDK manager:
If you're using Xamarin, I found a guide on their official forum explaining how to do this:
Download the package from the internet. There are many sources for this, one possible source is the CyanogenMod web site.
Start up the Android Player and unlock it.
Drag and drop the zip file that you downloaded onto the Android Player.
Restart the Android Player.
Hereafter, you might also need to update the Google Play Services from the Google Play Store.
Hope this helps for anyone else who has troubles finding the documentation.
Setp 1 :
Download the following apk files.
1)com.google.android.gms.apk (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934534438)
2)com.android.vending-4.4.22.apk (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=23203820527945795)
Step 2 : Create a new AVD without the google API's
Step 3 : Run the AVD (Start the emulator)
Step 4 : Install the downloaded apks using adb .
1)adb install com.google.android.gms-6.7.76_\(1745988-038\)-6776038-minAPI9.apk
2)adb install com.android.vending-4.4.22.apk
adb come up with android sdks/studio
Step 5 : Create the application in google developer console
Step 6 : Configure the api key in your Androidmanifest.xml and google api version.
Note :
In step1 you need to download the apk based on your Android API level(..18,19,21..) and google play services version (5,5.1,6,6.5......)
This will work 100%.
google play service is just a library to create application but in order to use application that use google play service library , you need to install google play in your emulator.and for that it need the unique device id. and device id is only on the real device not have on emulator. so for testing it , you need real android device.
For the emulator I have below, I am getting the error message that "Google Play Services not installed on the device".

I installed Google play store on my android emulator successfully. But when I try to run Google app it gives "Unfortunately, Google services framework has stopped" error message. I tried to fix it using clear cache of Google play store app, clear data of Google services framework app and restart the device. Also I tried for new emulators. But It didn't work. Does it a matter version of android sdk and Google Services Framework.apk version?
Suggest a way to fix this problem.
Read up on the guide provided by Android here.
Specifically, note:
To test your app when using the Google Play services SDK, you must use
either:
A compatible Android device that runs Android 2.3 or higher and
includes Google Play Store.
The Android emulator with an AVD that runs
the Google APIs platform based on Android 4.2.2 or higher.
As long as you satisfy those requirements, follow the installation instructions provided to install the SDK into your Developer environment.
Error shown on android emulator :
"Google Play services ,which some of your application rely on, is not
supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer for
assistance"
I have generated the key required to add in manifest, installed google play services and added reference to my project. my AVD is android 4.2.2(17)
I have also installed google api for android 4.2.2(17)
but still it isn't working.
Google play services are not installed in the emulators. You have to manually install the APKs for the required services you want to run on the emulator.
and as an alternative you can use genymotion emulator, they are pretty fast and come with google play services.
