Hi all,
after a lot of attempts, I succeeded to install on the Android emulator a verion of the Android Market (i.e. vending.apk) which can run without crashing :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I can surf among the different sections of the market but I cannot download any applications: the download process starts but no any data is received so I am forced to abort the process.

Do you have any suggestions ? Thanks.

Hi Verix,
could you send me a copy of the vendig.apk? I also need it.
Thanks

Hi,
many people experience similar issues running the Market on the real G1 phone :o, so may be that it is not a matter of the emulator :mrgreen:
Try to check on the Dalwink VM debugger if some applications throw exceptions: in many cases it is necessary to re-initialize the GTalk service.

Hope this helps.

BR

Hello,

I'm sorry for disturbing you like this, especially after just registering. It's just that I have looked all over the place for the various apps provided with the G1 but sadly not included with the emulator. Therefore, if I may be so bold to ask, I wonder if you could possibly send me a copy of this file. Also, does it require any other apps, like gtalk?

I tried to send a PM but it wouldn't work.

Thank you very much,
admkenshin

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
:!: :lol: :lol: :lol:

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

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?

And thanks for your guide, it is amazing!

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: )
