Solution 1

I had the same issue. Make sure you have changed the target from Android### to Google APIs in the AVD Manager.

1. Open Android SDK Manager
2. Select Tools -> Manage AVDs
3. Select a/the virtual device and click edit
4. In the target Select Google APIs...

If this target does not exist in the list, you need to install the Google APIs for the Level you require.

This will appear in the check list under the desired Level in the Android SDK Manager. Once this is installed (go grab yourself a coffee, it can take some time), repeat steps 1 - 4.

Solution 2

You can add android:required="false" flag to your manifest file and the application should be able to start.

<uses-library
        android:name="com.google.android.maps"
        android:required="false"/>

Then you have to make sure to protect your code from throwing an exception in places where you need it. You can try something like this to check if library is present:

Class.forName("com.google.android.maps");

Solution 3

run android.exe or android.sh utility this will bring up the program to install android SDk. Go to third party add-ons and select Google Api's. After they have been deployed/installed. Please make sure to re-start adb. If you are prompted for a restart of adb. Please say yes.

Solution 4

You have to add

<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />

between the <application> </application>

Tags of the Manifest.

Solution 5

This happens when your application requires a library that you either haven't included or your device doesn't have it.

Make sure you're using the Google API for Google Maps.
