Android Question #AdditionalRes reference in Google Maps Android v2 tutorial

[TrevG]

Hi,

I have been trying to implement Google Maps by following to v2 Tutorial, however I keep hitting an error on #AdditionalRes

I am using:
Basic for Android 3.82
Android: SDK 19

The #AdditionalRes in my code is:

#AdditionalRes: c:\android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms

Error Message is:

Parsing code. Error
Error parsing program.
Error description: Attribute not supported: additionalres
Occurred on line: 4
#AdditionalRes: c:\android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms

Any help will be greatly appreciated....Regards Trevor

 

[Erel]

Have you added this attribute to the main module?

 

[TrevG]

Fixed .....

I missed that in the instructions and had it in one of my other modules.

Thanks .... Trevor

Hi,

I have the same problem with the "\" on the end path

I am using:
Basic for Android 3.82
Android: SDK 20
Java 1.7067

my #AdditionalRes in my code is:

#AdditionalRes: C:\androidsdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\libs,com.google.android.gms

Error Message is:
Parsing code. 0.03
Compiling code. 0.08
Compiling layouts code. 0.00
Generating R file. Error
invalid resource directory name: C:\androidsdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\libs/google-play-services.jar
invalid resource directory name: C:\androidsdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\libs/google-play-services.jar.properties

 

[Erel]

The path should end with res not libs.

 

[birnesoft]

Thankx that works. You are the best.

#AdditionalRes:

you additional res does not match the error somehow...

invalid resource directory name: E:\Android Programming\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res/google-play-services.jar

Are you sure it is this line of code which causes the error?

 

[daniedb]

This is my Code

#Region Activity Attributes
   #FullScreen: False
   #IncludeTitle: True
   #AdditionalRes: E:\Android Programming\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res,com.google.android.gms
#End Region

'Activity module
Sub Process_Globals

End Sub

Sub Globals
  Dim mFragment As MapFragment
  Dim gmap As GoogleMap
  Dim MapPanel As Panel
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
  MapPanel.Initialize("")
  Activity.AddView(MapPanel, 0, 0, 100%x, 100%y)
  If mFragment.IsGooglePlayServicesAvailable = False Then
  ToastMessageShow("Google Play services not available.", True)
  Else
  mFragment.Initialize("Map", MapPanel)
  End If
End Sub
Sub Map_Ready
  Log("map ready")
  gmap = mFragment.GetMap
  If gmap.IsInitialized = False Then
  ToastMessageShow("Error initializing map.", True)
  Else
  gmap.AddMarker(36, 15, "Hello!!!")
  Dim cp As CameraPosition
  cp.Initialize(36, 15, gmap.CameraPosition.Zoom)
  gmap.AnimateCamera(cp)
  End If
End Sub

[Erel]

Did you copy google-play-services.jar to this folder? You shouldn't. You should have copied it to the additional libraries folder.

Delete these two files.

Thanks Erel, That was it, as always a Life saver
