Inaccessible shared library - INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY

Question

I take on the project and try to run it in an Android emulator. I get the following error in Logcat:

11-11 06:21:42.215: ERROR/PackageManager(58): Package com.android.xxx requires unavailable shared library com.google.android.maps; failing!

Console Displays:

Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY

How can I make sure com.google.android.maps is included in my project?

UPDATE: I am using min sdk level of 3 in my androidmanifest.xml:

</application>
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3"/>

When you create your emulated device, make sure you select “Google API ...” as the target. If you select only "Android ...", you will not have advanced APIs, such as Maps, available on the emulated device.
