Running Android Market on emulator: no download issue

Verix · **Joined:** Thu Dec 27, 2007 2:51 pm **Posts:** 41

Hi all,
the Market related packages in the zip files can work properly only with SDK 1.1r1.
For SDK 1.5 and later (Cupcake) the packages are useless: you can try to get the same .apk files from the newest cupcake firmwares.

IS Googleapp.apk suport applying a google account?

jonasSD · **Joined:** Wed Jul 22, 2009 1:30 pm **Posts:** 1

Hi thx a lot for these usefull tips!

But I have one little problem.
I have installed SDK 1.5. And it was no problem to install the four *.apk files. I started the market, registered an account and was able see all applications in the market.
The problem is every time I'm trying to download an application it says something like "Starting download". And after a while it times out.
Can anybody help me?

Thx
Jonas

Edit:
Found this on another board. Works properly!

1. Download the Android SDK (which includes the emulator) from ***URLs are hidden from guests, please register and login to view the hyperlink***.
2. Extract the downloaded zip.
3. Run a command prompt, and change to the 'tools' directory of the SDK (or add the tools directory to your path).
4. Type 'android list target'
5. Note the 'id' number of the '1.5' target (in my case it's '2')
6. Type 'android create avd -n enhanced -t 2' (substitute 2 with the target number determined above if required)
7. You will be prompted to create a hardware profile. This is optional, but I selected 'yes' and accepted the defaults for everything except RAM, where I gave it 256MB.
8. Download and unzip this image file.***URLs are hidden from guests, please register and login to view the hyperlink***
9. Copy the above file to the location of the enhanced.avd directory ('C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\.android\enhanced.avd' on Windows XP, and 'C:\Users\<user>\.android\enhanced.avd' on Windows Vista).
10. You're ready! Type 'emulator -avd enhanced' to run! Note: inital boot may take a few minutes!

Hi all,
I have made progress on using the Market with the Android emulator but I havn't been able to find a moment to write here my results :roll:

YES, I SUCCEEDED: USING THE ANDROID MARKET ON THE SDK's EMULATOR IS POSSIBLE :!:

First of all let me thank barban for his precious hint :mrgreen:

Some remarks:
- when I tried to install the market on the emulator the last SDK version was v1.1 Release1.
- since I was curious to see the very rumored features of Cupcake, first of all I have modified the SDK v1.1R1 installed on my PC by substituting its system images with the ones you can find in ***URLs are hidden from guests, please register and login to view the hyperlink***.

When running the SDK v.1.5 Cupcake pre-release, what you have to do is to install the four Android packages you can find in ***URLs are hidden from guests, please register and login to view the hyperlink*** (collected from several unofficial firmware builds). To be safe, I suggest to follow the same order I do when installing the packages:

adb install SetupWizard.apk (required to bind a Google account to the Android emulator)
adb install gtalkservice.apk (Gtalk service)
adb install Talk.apk (GTalk app)
adb install Vending.apk (Market)

AFter installation, by trying to launch the Market it will appear the request of logging in a Google account (or registering a new one). After that, it will appear the Terms of Service of the Market and...
ENJOY all the Android applications you can download and test on the Android emulator by relying on your ADSL at home :!:

Since the Market which is used is the USA one, you can find also the paying applications sold in the Market
Hereunder some screeshots.
best regards

My status: 1.1 is OK, but 1.5 doesn't work.

In 1.5, there are a lot of methods in GoogleLoginService class not found.
"unable to find class referenced in signature (Lcom/google/android/googleapps/IGoogleLoginService"
I check the framework.jar, in 1.5, many classes has path changed from com/google/android/googleapps to com/google/android/googlelogin

By the way, I dump vending.apk out from G2, but there is not classes.dex in that apk.
Instead, HTC place a .odex in the folder. It can only run in G2 CPU. -_-!

WOW...IT WORKS!!!
It can download free apps from the Market directly on the emulator and try it before install in the real G1
Fantastic...

There is a little mistake in the link, just remove the second "L" at the end of the url link

Is it possible now to have it in Cupcake SdK?
Thanks.
Xenio

I fixed the link, thanks for reporting the mistake.
Yes, in principle it could work also in SDK1.5 but we need to collect the packeges from firmwares based on Android 1.5.
An esay way could be to extract the packages form an HTC Magic phone (adb pull </app/data/packagename.apk .)
Have some of you an HTC Magic phone available ? :roll:

This way worked perfectly for me and is super easy to do.

I got an INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY error. I am running the latest SDK release, might this be a problem? Where could I then find the working release?

Uhm, yes may be that the probbelm is related to the last SDK release: you can find the right version of all the archives in the download section of this site (in my previous post you can find direct links to each of them, just click to download :lol:

)

I got the same, INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY error.Where to get right version of SDK....? Can U send me the link...? Thanks.....

Thanks! Works perfectly.

One small issue. Although paid apps and free apps both appear, paid and copy-protected apps do not

Thanks again for the awesome work!
