Android Question Firebase problem - No resource found that matches the given name

[achapman]

I'm trying to test the new Google Maps support under Firebase, following this tutorial

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/integrating-firebase-services.67692/

As soon as I add this to the project Manifest file:

'************ Google Play Services Base ************
AddApplicationText(
<activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiActivity"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"
android:exported="false"/>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@Integer/google_play_services_version" />
)
'************ Google Play Services Base (end) ************

When compiling, I get:

AndroidManifest.xml:25: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@Integer/google_play_services_version').

A few points that might help with diagnosis:

- I upgraded from B4A 5.5 to 6.0;
- I updated the Android SDK to the latest of everything;
- I ensured that "Android Support Repository" and "Google Repository" were both installed;
- I created a project using the Firebase console and set the app package name to be the same as the Firebase project;
- I installed the empty/dummy google-play-services.jar file mentioned in another thread (I couldn't find a real copy of this in the Android SDK).

I tried creating a new project from scratch and added the line in the Manifest there too - same error.

Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help!

AndroidManifest.xml:25: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@Integer/google_play_services_version').

As soon as I add this to the project Manifest file:

please post you manifest text...

I guess the firebase- BASE snippet is missing (which creates the resource from the json file)

Have you added this line:

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

Thanks Erel. Adding the additional Jar file did the trick, however now the app crashes on boot. I can't even put a debug break-point on the first line of the Main.

The complete Manifest is:

Why does it start on boot?

Have you run it in release mode?

You need to post the error message from the logs.

Sorry Erel, today it is working perfectly. Literally all I did was reboot. Very odd. Sorry for any inconvenience.
