Is it possible to install Google Play app (such as for example Twitter) on Emulator? I tried to do it using browser in emulator, but it says "No devices".
P.S. I don't have apk, I want to install app from Google Play.
P.S.S I have only emulator, no real device

Run an app on the Android Emulator In Android Studio, create an Android Virtual Device (AVD) that the emulator can use to install and run your app.
It is easy to install Google Play Store for API 24 and above as we can directly select an emulator that has Google Play from the AVD manager. For emulators using API 23 and below it becomes a bit tricky as we cannot directly install an emulator from Android Studio that has Google Play installed.
Begin installationOn your computer, go to play.google.com/googleplaygames. Click Download. To install the app, open the downloaded file, then follow the instructions on your PC. Installation can take a few minutes.
Upload the App's APK File to Google PlayIn your browser, go to the address , click Developer Console and log in with your Android Developer account credentials. Click the Add New Application button to begin adding your app to Google Play. Select the language and the name of your app. Press the Upload APK button.
This question is edited. This answer for those who have google play account.
If you want to download .apk files directly from Google Play. Check this. Apk downloader is a chrome extension which u can use to direct download .apk from google play on computer. After downloading that .apk
Start your emulator.
Start command prompt, and change your directory to the platform-tools folder of SDK directory. Paste the APK file in the 'android-sdk\tools' or 'platform-tools' folder. Then type the following command.
adb install yourapp.apk
Approach 2 - Download Genymotion and use drag-drop approach on its emulator.
Update - Now you can drag drop .apk on your Andorid emulator.
