How to install Google Play services on an Android 6.0 emulator? Is there a way to install Google Play app on an Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) AVD?
I have found the Open Gapps for Android 6 here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087008996

To install them you need to boot into Recovery mode and install that zip file, but
an emulator does not have a recovery partition, so the steps target the case of a
device.

Do you know, how I can do the same for the emulator? I tried to unzip the file and
put the 4 APKs described here (for Android version 5):
http://www.flinkd.org/2015/02/instal...i-21-lollipop/

but after rebooting the emulator, although the icon of Google Play appears in the launcher,
when I tap on it, then the emulator crashes with some fatal exceptions in logcat.
I tried to install the packages one at a time, rebooting the emulator after each installation,
and found out that the crash happens after installing the Phonesky.apk no matter if you
click on the Google Play icon.
1) Go get GApps for the emulator from http://opengapps.org

2) Unzip to get


GmsCore.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
GoogleLoginService.apk     
Phonesky.apk


Launch the emulator from the command line, on linux you do

./emulator [name] -no-boot-anim -writable-system


on windows it's probably 

emulator.exe [name] -no-boot-anim -writable-system


Make sure you have adb access to the emulator.

adb remount


last but not least, push everything to system.

adb push GmsCore.apk /system/priv-app/


(and repeat for all the other APKs)

then reboot with

adb shell stop


and

adb shell start
