Android Market gone after emulator reboot on Windows Possible Duplicate:
  Android Market gone after emulator reboot  




I am having the same problem as mentioned here. But my specs are as follows:

OS=Windows 7 SP1
SDK Revision = 21.0.1


OS = Windows 7 SP1
SDK Revision = 21.0.1
Android-SDK=3.0(API Level 11)



  AVD Details
  
  Name: DemoDevice1
  
  CPU/ABI: ARM(armeabi)
  
  Path: c:\Users\The WABBIT.android\AVD\DemoDevice1.avd
  
  Target: Android 3.0 (API level 11)
  
  Skin: WXGA
  
  SD Card: 2048
  
  hw.lcd.density: 213
  
  vm.heapSize: 32
  
  hw.ramSize: 1024


I have already deleted the SdkSetup.apk from the emulator and then added the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Vending.apk packages to the emulator.

But, upon reboot everything is reverted back to before changes was made. I am unable to find a updated img file in any temporary directory, or any directory, as outlined in above mentioned post.

Can anyone help me with this?
For those that are using the Windows version of the Android SDK the answer given in Android Market gone after emulator reboot stands as the correct thing to do. But the name of the .img file and the temp directory location differ from that given in that post.

The reason for the difference I cannot say, but I suspect it is because of one of the following reasons.


I am using Windows instead of Linux.
I am using a different revision of the SDK, can't really say as there was no mention of the SDK revision in the previous post.
Or it could be both 1 &amp; 2.


Any ways, you will find the temp .img directory in the following location:


  SystemDrive\Users\ [username] \AppData\Local\Temp\AndroidEmulator


The file name will be similar to the following:


  TMP19AD.tmp


Note: 
 - The file name will change every time you run the emulator.
 - That the file size will always be 0bytes will the emulator is running.
 - It is easier to work on one virtual device at a time when accessing the temp .img files. Otherwise it gets confusing which file is for which virtual device.

To make your changes permanent do the following:


Work on one virtual device at a time.
Copy the .tmp from the AndroidEmulator directory to a temporary location before exiting the emulator.
Rename the *.tmp file to system.img.
Copy the system.img file to your virtual device's AVD directory. Overwriting any previous system.img file.


I have created the following batch file to do the copying.

system_copy.bat

@echo off
rem
rem system_copy.bat
rem
rem Command-line reference:
rem     system_copy [drive_letter] [account_username] [virtual_device's_name]
rem

rem
rem check to see if the user entered the parameters needed
rem
rem check for the drive letter
if [%1] == [] goto :error1
rem check for the account username
if [%2] == [] goto error2
rem check for the virtual device's name
if [%3] == [] goto error3

rem
rem set the paths for the tmp_path and main_avd_path
rem to use in the copying process
rem
:SetPaths
rem Grab current directory before we change it
rem this will be directory outside of the virtual device's directory
set main_avd_path="%cd%"

rem set the current location for the temp AVD .img files
set tmp_path=%1:\Users\%2\AppData\Local\Temp\AndroidEmulator

rem now we need to verify a few things

rem verify that the temp_path exist
if not exist %tmp_path% goto error4
rem verify that the temporary .img file exist
if not exist %tmp_path%\*.tmp goto error5

rem now we begin the copying of the system.img file
echo.
echo Copying the *.tmp file to the virtual device's avd directory as system.img.
echo.

copy %tmp_path%\*.tmp %main_avd_path%\%3%.avd\system.img /y &gt;nul

rem check for any errors in copying the file
for %%e in (5 4 3 2 1) do if errorlevel %%e goto copyerror-%%e

if not errorlevel == 0 goto copyerror-0

rem show copy succes message
echo.
echo Copying is complete.
echo.
goto :EOF

rem beginning of the error messages

    goto :EOF

    echo Check to see if the virtual device is running, then rerun this batch file.

    echo.
    goto :EOF


rem EOF


copy and paste the above code into your favorite text editor and save it as system_copy.bat.

Place this batch file in the parent directory for the virtual device's avd directory.

To run it, while the virtual device's avd is running:


Bring up a cmd prompt
Goto the directory that the batch file is in
Execute the batch file with the following command syntax:



  system_copy [drive_letter] [account_username] [virtual_device's_name]


example:

 system_copy C "The WABBIT" Nexus_7


That's it. Hope this helps others.
