I can’t use Google Play services with the emulators in Android Studio. I give you my build.gradle and manifest files:

build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'android {compileSdkVersion 23buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"repositories {mavenCentral()}defaultConfig {applicationId "fr.myapp"minSdkVersion 16targetSdkVersion 22versionCode 1versionName "1.0"multiDexEnabled true}buildTypes {release {minifyEnabled falseproguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'}}}dependencies {compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.0.1'compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0'compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'}

Part of my AndroidManifest (I don’t show all the activities):

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" /><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS" /><applicationandroid:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"android:allowBackup="true"android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"android:label="@string/app_name"android:theme="@style/AppTheme" ><meta-dataandroid:name="com.google.android.gms.version"android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /><meta-dataandroid:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId"android:value="@string/app_id" /><activityandroid:name=".SettingsActivity"android:label="@string/title_activity_settings" ></activity><activityandroid:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity"android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"android:label="@string/app_name"android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" /></application></manifest>

And in a xml I just have the google button : com.google.android.gms.common.SignInButton

And when I lauch my Application, when I arrive in the activity containing the button, I have the following message : “the app won’t run unless you update Google Play services”. I also have (I tried some solutions) “this app won’t run without Google Play services, which are missing from your phone”.

I’ve found some questions on this problem, but it always said that the last emulator don’t have this problem. But using the default Nexus 5 (API 22) emulator on android studio gives me these errors. So I tried to install the last apk google play services file, and after successing the install, I launch the app and have this time this error : “the app relies on Google play services, which is not supported by your device. Contact the manufacturer for assistance.” I also tried with a virtual device that I created, with API 22 and 23 and I have the same errors.

I don’t understand because I thought that the errors with Google play services didn’t exist anymore on the last API.

Thanks for help.
