I was trying it out yesterday myself and had the same problem. Apparently, non of the drag and drop functionality worked. So this, is what I did to resolve the issue:
- Use the Additional Tools (small >> icon) for the emulator and go to the SD Card tab.
- Select a folder on your computer to sync with the virtual SD card.
Pull from SD card, which will create a folder structure on the selected folder.- Now copy the Gapps fill to the ‘Download’ folder.
Push to SD card. This will take a little while, and copy the zip file to your emulator.- Run a commmand prompt, and go to
sdk\platform-toolsin your Android SDK location and runadb devices. - If you see the your emulator in the list, then skip to step 9.
- If you do not see emulator, run the following:
adb connect <emulator ip>:5555
You can find the emulator ip, from within the emulator, go to Settings -> About Phone -> Status and IP section. - Next run,
adb shell. This will give you a prompt to the android emulator. - Confirm the gapps file is there:
ls /sdcard/Download - Now run,
install_zip.sh /sdcard/Download/<flashablezip>.zip
This should begin the flashing process.
Hope this helps in resolving the issue.
