Google Play Game Services + Emulator

Question

I am unable to connect to Google Play Game Services in a native emulator, however, the same apk works in Bluestacks.

So far the app requests a list of the user's achievements via Games.Achievements.getAchievementsIntent. These achievements are successfully displayed in Bluestacks, however, the native emulator screen remains blank.

To be honest, it came as a surprise when Bluestacks displayed the user's achievements (as shown below) as I had not implemented any presentation logic.

I am building dependencies with Google Play Services 9.6.1:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-games:9.6.1'

Emulator is running a system image with API 24 + Google APIs

I am using an automanaged instance of GoogleApiClient which attempts to connect but then fails. I have tried numerous fixes to no avail.

 @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
            .enableAutoManage(this,
                    this)
            .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
            .addApi(Games.API)
            .addScope(Games.SCOPE_GAMES)
            .build();
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    Log.d("onActivityResult", "resultCode = " + resultCode);
    if (resultCode == GamesActivityResultCodes.RESULT_RECONNECT_REQUIRED) {
        mGoogleApiClient.connect();
    }
}

@Override
public void onConnected(@Nullable Bundle bundle) {
    Log.d("onConnected", "onConnected");
    startActivityForResult(Games.Achievements.getAchievementsIntent(mGoogleApiClient), MY_REQ_CODE);
}

@Override
public void onConnectionFailed(@NonNull ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
    Log.d("onConnectionFailed", "onConnectionFailed");
    mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}

Result in Android Monitor:

I'm not sure if this will help but I noticed in your error log that it says:

"You have not specified a View to use as content view for popups."

Check this SO thread which suggests:

use setViewForPopUps method

 Games.setViewForPopups(getApiClient(), getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content));

Another way to do this is to:

define setViewForPopups in your mGoogleApiClient object.

mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(getApplicationContext())
            .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
            .addApi(Plus.API).addScope(Plus.SCOPE_PLUS_LOGIN)
            .addApi(Games.API).addScope(Games.SCOPE_GAMES)
            .addApi(Drive.API).addScope(Drive.SCOPE_APPFOLDER)
            .setViewForPopups(findViewById(android.R.id.content))
            .build();

Looking at your code, it seems you haven't added this. Here's additional reading on setViewForPopups method.
