My build.gradle is

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.5.0'
}

My maifest.xml is

 <permission
        android:name="com.nisos.LoqalCab.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
        android:protectionLevel="signature" />

    <uses-permission android:name="com.nisos.LoqalCab.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />

I have installed com.google.android.gms-7.5.74-1997312-034-APK4Fun.com.apk and com.android.vending-v5.6.8-80360800-Android-2.3.apk

My emulator is running on api level 19 with x86 System Image

I have tried these links “Unfortunately Google Play Services has stopped” but map works fine and run google play store on android emulator .But no luck.What Am I doing wrong?

Solution

When using maps you can't use the Normal Emulator and install apks (that is no longer working, it was time ago). Now you need to install the proper emulator "Google API System Image" to let it work.

Alternatively, if the Emulator is not working because outdated (it can be for older API levels) you can donwload Genymotion emulator (which is free) that provides a wide set of devices and api levels. Genymotion does not directly allows GoogleAPIs, but you can download zip file containing google apis (the ones used when flashing custom roms) and install it in genymotion (Drag&Drop the zip over the genymotion emulator), after 1 or 2 restart, your emulator is GoogleAPI compliant :D

Thanks for you reply.I have created one Google API System Image emulator.But when I try to install the play services it says Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE] . And If I run my app in the emulator it says you have to update the play service. Can you help me please.

You cant install play services on that emulator, you have to use a newer emulator or use genymotion

Ok,you now what ,your suggestion helps me out.There is one problem in the lolipop the google play service is preinstalled,and it's a older version,so my map isn't running.Any idea how to solved that?Other than lolipop it works.

I can't test, but i see there is GoogleApi emulator for lollipop 5.0.1 and 5.1.1, did you try with both?
