Access Google Maps in the Android emulator

I am developing an Android app using Google Maps data. I can access Google Maps in the emulator, but when I try the same in my app, Google Maps doesn’t open. What’s the problem? Help

Solution

You need to create an Android Virtual Device (AVD) using the Google API:

In the screenshot above, you can see that “test_avd” does not use the google API.
You can also see that “test_maps_avd” does use the Google API.
