How to install app in playstore without Google playstore in android emulator I had installed AndroVM to use Android apps in computer. But when it comes to games like shadow fight even with OpenGL support enabled, AndroVM couldn't run many games such as Hill Climb racing, Gunship battle etc. Hence I tried Genymotion. When I installed Genymotion, it automatically detected AndroVM installed in Virtual Box. And I could only run Hill climb racing and rest of them didn't work. So I finally installed Android SDK and followed all instructions to add packages(Tools, extras and System Images). Even if I have installed Google play services and Google repository, I couldn't find Google playstore in the android emulator. Even this post suggests how to install Google playstore in emulator,it also have discussions about piracy and legal issues(in comments) and the apk's (GoogleLoginService.apk , GoogleServicesFramework.apk , Phonesky.apk) are not official packages. Hence


Can any one suggest how can I install apps inside emulator without using Google playstore, and
Why can't I find playstore even after I install Google play services and repository.


These are the packages I've installed. And I'm using Ubuntu 14.04

I assume you have only one emulator running, then you can install an apk file by using adb

adb -e install &lt;apk file&gt;


You get more options by

adb -h
