How to install Android Market App on the emulator?

android, google-play

Solution

I got Android Market to work on Emulator for Platform 2.3 using OS 10.6.6:

First download and setup emulator on your mac. Launch emulator and create an AVD. I created one called `vd1`. Close `vd1`.

Launch Terminal in Utilities and enable the Finder to show hidden system files and folders by executing following commands:

lsy$ defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
lsy$ killall Finder

Download `system.img` http://www.mediafire.com/?s8eeph3r71ho1lz

Copy system.img to two locations:

[username]\.android\avd\[vd1]\
[username]\android\platforms\android-9\images\

Launch emulator from Terminal

lsy$ cd android\tools
lsy$ ./emulator -avd [vd1] -partition-size 100

Problem

I am not able to access android market through emulator.
