As Joseph said, you'd need an apk of google play. Android Police has the newest builds usually.

u can dowload playstore apk from www.androidpolice.com

and install it to the emulator.

[Ashwin_S_Ashok]

u can install it by using terminal..

su -c "pm install /mnt/sdcard/app.apk" root

Another Metod is..

Intent intent=newIntent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(newFile(path+"/<application_name>.apk")),"application/vnd.android.package-archive");

startActivity(intent);

And this is the permissions..

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES" />
