Android Market is not available on emulators for security reasons. You may install APKs. Refer to Android Debug Bridge.

To install an application from Google Play Store (formerly known as Android Market) onto an Android emulator:

1. Purchase, borrow or steal an Android device which has access to the Play Store.

2. Enable USB Debugging on the Android device and connect it to your development computer.

3. Go to the Google Play Store and download your application.

4. Pull the app from the device to your computer:

   adb -d pull /data/app/com.example.myapp-1.apk MyApp.apk
   

5. Install the app to your emulator:

   adb -e install MyApp.apk
   

You can download the APK file. Use the Android SDK tools to install it. In a commandline window do:

yoursdk\tools\adb install youapp
