You can use it to download apps in the emulator or test any other functionality that you require. Now, as soon as your emulator restarts you should be able to see the Google Play Store icon in the apps drawer. We can use the following commands to do that.

Now we can push the APK to the emulator using the following command. This command will make /system partition of your emulator writable(By default it is readable). We provide the name of our emulator and this command will open the emulator in a writable environment. Google launched its Android SDK new version of Emulator v2. $ANDROID_HOME/tools/emulator -writable-system If not, check the box, click Apply and install and restart Android Studio. We need to use the following command to start our emulator. Now we just have to push this APK to our emulator and we are done. As you can see in the screenshot above I already have APKs related to Google services installed in my emulator so I only need to install one APK that is inside the vending-x86 folder with the name Phonesky.apk.
