Google Play Services in emulator, implementing Google Plus login button etc

Google Play services works on the 4.2.2 versions of the Android Emulator and is officially supported as described in the Android documentation: Setup Google Play Services.

Update

You now can use the Intel/x86 images (HAXM-compatible) for API 19 and newer and for ARM, Google Play Services is available on most images.

Setting up the image

To get the right image for your virtual device manager:

Open the Android SDK Manager
Open the group Android 4.2.2 (API 17)
Check Google APIs
Check ARM EABI v7a System Image

Sample Image

To create the Virtual Device:

Open the Android Virtual Device Manager
Create a New device
Enter an AVD name
Set the target to Google APIs (Google Inc.) - API Level 17
Save your Virtual device and start it...

Note CPU/ABI will be fixed as ARM

Sample Image

Now you should be able to use the Google Play Services in the emulator. Of note, you need to set your target appropriately in your Android project to the Google APIs in order for Google Play Services to work.

How to download Google Play Services in an Android emulator?

Check out Setting Up Google Play Services which says:

To develop an app using the Google Play services APIs, you need to set up your project with the Google Play services SDK.

If you haven't installed the Google Play services SDK yet, go get it now by following the guide to Adding SDK Packages.

To test your app when using the Google Play services SDK, you must use either:

A compatible Android device that runs Android 2.3 or higher and includes Google Play Store.

The Android emulator with an AVD that runs the Google APIs platform based on Android 4.2.2 or higher.

Google Plus Login : Google Play Services out of date exception

I'm also facing the same problem...
I had it working about 2 weeks ago (had to format, and now i am quite upset), following Chetna answer in here:
Google Play services out of date. Requires 3159100 but found 3158130

I tried to downgrade Google play services, replacing rev. 10 for 9 (rev. 9 was the version i had installed the time i got it to work - found it here: http://venomvendor.blogspot.co.il/2012/03/android-sdk-extras-by-google-inc.html), but, still no answers how to make it work! Don't understand why this question was down rated...

EDIT: So, after trying for almost a day to do this, i solved my problem (and maybe yours). There are a couple of steps to take care of this:

1) Follow Chetna answer in here (2nd answer):
Google Play services out of date. Requires 3159100 but found 3158130 (2nd answers), the gms and vending files are the most up to date that i know of.

If you don't understand what to do in step 1 =>
1.1) Go to the link above and download com.android.vending-20130716.apk and com.google.android.gms-20130716.apk.
1.2) Go to android\sdk\platform-tools and place those two files in the folder
1.3) Create AVD with android 4.2.2 (or version below) without google api and start it, then wait for it to load, till there is nothing more to load...
1.4) I only have windows so i only use this method: open command window (cmd) in that folder and do:

adb install com.android.vending-20130716.apk 

and

adb install com.google.android.gms-20130716.apk

Both of these commands will take some time, and reply with a success or failure message (both replys must be success).

1.5) Turn off the AVD.

2) Just for the sake of it, downgrade your google play services to rev 9 (to do this uninstall from sdk or delete android\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services folder http://www.mediafire.com/download/bqs2kmza5vn8e04/google_play_services_9.7z - link from the venomvendor.blogspot)

3) Import android\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib and copy it to your workspace, add it to your project through properties > add (in the library "menu")

4) Go to project > clean > clean all projects (this one did the trick for me)

It worked for me, hope it works for you too!
Cheers

Quoting docs

If you want to test your app on the emulator, expand the directory for
Android 4.2.2 (API 17) or a higher version, select Google APIs, and
install it. Then create a new AVD with Google APIs as the platform
target.

Needs Emulator of Google API"S

See the target in the snap

I prefer testing on a real device which has google play services installed
