Android Question Cannot download play-services-common

[ltrebuchet]

With Android SDK platform and tools 25 and Google Play Services 38 the extras library com\google\android\gms does not include play-services-common so using Barxdroid WearableDatalayer library I get error 'cannot access GoogleApiClient'
How can I download it?
Thanks for help

 

[Erel]

Try it with this line:

#AdditionalJar: com.android.support:support-v4

 

[ltrebuchet]

This line is already in, and I could use NotificationBuilder library in my app.
#additionaljar: com.android.support:support-v4
#AdditionalJar: google-play-services.jar
#AdditionalJar: wearable-2.0.0-alpha3.jar
#AdditionalJar: play-services-10.0.1.aar
#AdditionalJar: play-services-wearable-10.0.1.aar
I really cannot add a play-service-common jar because this library is missing in the gms library.
The problem might come from the SDK, because i think that normally play-services-common should be included in com\google\android\gms, but it is not.
Thanks for your help

Can you post the exact error message?

Make sure that the two repositories are up to date: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/integrating-firebase-services.67692/#content
1. Remove google-play-services.
2. Where does play-services-10.0.1.aar come from?
3. Add a reference to FirebaseAnalytics (just as a test).

I just updated Android studio this morning, then used the SDK trough it to download the last google play services (#38)
It comes with extras\google\m2repository\com\google\android\gms which includes a lot of libraries (play-service-ads up to play-services-wearable), each of them including an aar, aar.md5, aar.sha1, pom, pom.md5, pom.sha1. The first of them, play-services, include sevetral versions of play-services aar, the latest one being play-services-10.0.1.aar but no play-service-common, contrary to what android developer support announces.
I shall try with Firebase Analytics, but I have to sdk-download firebase first

 

[ltrebuchet]

I tried Firebase Analytics:
Recorded louistrebuchet.golfcoach10 (=Package)
Copied google-services.json in the same folder as GolfCoach Project 10.b4a
Code:
#additionaljar: com.android.support:support-v4

[ltrebuchet]

here is the generated manifest.xml with the right lines number

I tried Firebase Analytics:

Please USE Code tags when posting code!!!

#additionaljar: com.android.support:support-v4
#AdditionalJar: wearable-2.0.0-alpha3.jar
#AdditionalJar: play-services-10.0.1.aar
#AdditionalJar: play-services-wearable-10.0.1.aar

The first is set correctly.
The second i´mnot sure if this belongs to google-libs...

the last two are WRONG.

See here for a list of the complete class-refences...
https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup#add_google_play_services_to_your_project

Seing this

#AdditionalJar: play-services-10.0.1.aar

'should be

#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services

Without the version and without .aar


The last should be

#AdditionalJar:com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable

 

[ltrebuchet]

Thank you very much
I had to use #ExcludeClasses to avoid to much time and memory, but it compiled with this code

    #additionaljar: com.android.support:support-v4
    #AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services
    #ExcludeClasses: .ads, .ads-lite, .all-wear, .appindexing, .appinvite, .appstate, .auth, .auth-base
    #ExcludeClasses: .awareness, .base, .basement, .cast, .cast-framework, .clearcut, .contextmanager, .drive
    #ExcludeClasses: .fitness, .games, .gass, .maps, .measurement, .nearby, .panorama, .places, .safetynet
    #ExcludeClasses: .tasks, .vision, .wallet

Thank you both, regards, Louis

 

[DonManfred]

I had to use #ExcludeClasses

i dont think that these will be help... The classes you excluded are not in the compiling-process

Using the maven repos only the used references will be compiled into your app.
Usually ExcludeClasses is no longer needed.

 

[ltrebuchet]

Actually it did somehow
Before I used it I had to extend time and ran out of memory!

 

[Erel]

That's true. You shouldn't use ExcludeClasses anymore.

 

[ltrebuchet]

Thanks to both, I understood better the maven repos by reading several of your posts.
With the single code:

    #AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms: play-services-wearable

I get compiled the play-services-wearable and the play-services-common and no other classes.
Thank you, Louis
