1)Now i want a little clarfication that from where and which Google API I should install.?

2)My target version is Android 19 and which Image of googleAPI(x86 or ARM) should I install?

3)In Android API19 do I need to install SDK-platform(r-3)?


Thanks

You should download the image that is appropriate for whichever computer you run the SDK on; in most cases, that'll be x86. You should also install the Intel HAXM package; it speeds up emulation performance quite a bit (provided you're using an x86 image, that is).

What about Google Play Services listed in Extras folder?

[Ulf Dittmer]

What about it? Which of the approaches mentioned in the link I posted in the other topic where you asked about this have you tried?

[Kishor Joshi]

ok ulf

You mean I need to download (compatiable google APIs version+Google Play Services) for Using Google Maps in my android application
isn't it?

[Ulf Dittmer]

Yes, you need the Play Services; that's what the other question you asked yesterday is all about, isn't it?
