google play - How to install Android Market App on the emulator?

Question

I am not able to access android market through emulator.

Answer 1

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].androidavd[vd1]
[username]androidplatformsandroid-9images

Launch emulator from Terminal

lsy$ cd androidools
lsy$ ./emulator -avd [vd1] -partition-size 100
