Hi I'm getting an error message...

B4X:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value.  Expected 4132500 but found 4242000.  You must have the following declaration within the <application> element:  <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
...and as far as I can tell I have already entered it into the manifest file as below...

B4X:
AddApplicationText(
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>

<activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity" android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>
)

I did try adding just the <Application> tag but it did not want to accept that.
I know it is me but what have I got wrong please?

Cheers all

Hi Erel

I was following your tutorial as best I could so I added this...

B4X:
#AdditionalRes: C:\AndroidSDK\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms

I have just checked that actual location and the folder exists but the "com.google.android.gms" is not there and I have searched my machine for it and can't find it anywhere. I have used the AndroidSDK Manager to download all the files you suggested. Is there anything else I can do?

Cheers

I did discover that google_play_services.jar was smaller than another one. I thought I had copied it across but apparently not. So I did copy it across and, guess what - no change :(

Still got the error.

IT seems there is no solution to this one as I tried Googling the bit about expecting 4132500 instead of 4242000. Each lead I followed ended up in the murky greyness of no solution.

Ce la vie!

Updating the Google Play Services.apk eventually worked. It took three goes before it decided that there was an update suitable for download.

Thanks Erel

Nothing!
I've fond this metode:
Anyway, for those who want to downgrade Android SDK Tools to a previous version, it can be possible following these steps:

  1. Find your Android SDK folder
  2. Locate the "tools" subfolder and rename it to "tools1" (just to keep a backup copy of the original tools folder)
  3. Download from google repository the SDK Tool version you want to downgrade to (in this case it was: http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r15-windows.zip) and unpack it.
  4. The ZIP file you downloaded contains a tools folder that has to be moved to your Android SDK folder.

I've reload the SDK Manager but I dont have the emulator and, if i try to install it, he want update sdk to 19 or 22.

How did you do?

Thanks

Restarting ADB Server may solve this problem.

....I've restarted ADB Server but nothing happens.
