I am attempting to utilize the Google Places API's PlacePicker in my Android app. However, whenever I attempt to create the picker, I receive the following error message:

Google Play services out of date. Requires 7095000 but found 6774470

Unfortunately, I am tied to testing on the emulator because I do not own a physical device. The emulator's image is API level 22 x86 with Google APIs target. Furthermore, I have attempted to include the Google Play Services library through the build.gradle file:

'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.+'

Also, I have updated Google Play Services in the SDK Manager. What am I doing wrong? How can I update my Google Play services so I can use the Places API?

I had the same issue, and had to move down to API 21 emulator image with google apps. That one is more up to date, and works.
