Android: Why does MapView complain about LOGIN ACCOUNTS MISSING when running in emulator?

Question

I am trying to get a MapView to display on the emulator. When I look at logcat, this is the error message I am receiving. I have no idea why?

Device has no accounts: sending Intent { act=com.google.android.gsf.LOGIN ACCOUNTS MISSING }

Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

At the moment it is not possible to run Google Android Maps v2 on an emulator. Check out the comments on this post by Android Developers. Also, look at the official link to the play services

Note: Google Play services is not supported on the Android emulator — to develop using the APIs, you need to provide a development device such as an Android phone or tablet.

A couple of things. Pls. make sure that you have the maps key. Also make sure you have the required permissions on the manifest. For more you could refer to : https://plus.google.com/+AndroidDevelopers/posts/Tyz491d96Ci
