Answer 1

Unfortunately for using the Google Maps you have to test the application on a real device as the emulator is not supported.

Answer 2

I also found that the play services libproject has to be imported onto the same physical drive as your project. (which may not be the case if you didn't check the 'Copy projects into workspace' checkbox)

Answer 3

First of all download the latest google play services revision 3. Import the google play services libproject as a library in Eclipse. Then go to properties>Android and below add the above project as a library to your project. Also ensure that the google play services are updated on your device.Use the debug keystore if you are directly running the app on the device.You will have to add the sha1 print and package of the debug keystore while creating Android key.
