Q:

Google Maps Android API v2 - for ARM only?

Google Maps Android API v2
I'm getting error while trying to install sucessfully compiled maps demo app (%android-sdk%\extras\google\google_play_services\samples\maps\) on android-x86 device (Intel Mint):

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CPU_ABI_INCOMPATIBLE]

The same APK can be installed on ARM devices and works successfully.

A:

Yes. It is an official Google app and does not come in source code form to be recompiled for x86/MIPS.
Use the Genymotion Android emulator, see this other question: How do you install Google frameworks (Play, Accounts, etc.) on a Genymotion virtual device?
