How to run Google Map API V2 on Android emulator

Question

I've tried to implement Google Maps v2 in my Android Application, but unfortunately instead of Maps I can see this message:

This app won't run without Google Play Services, which are missing from your phone along with button "Get Google Play Services".

Before tell me, is this possible to run Google Maps on Android emulator?

Answer 1
