Android Question Google Play Services error when compiling an (old) app

[Sanxion]

Hi all,

I recently tried opening an app that I developed about 6 years ago and received the following error:

c:\users\sanxion\appdata\local\android\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res: error: failed to open directory: The system cannot find the file specified. (2).

That file/path is indeed not present on my machine.

I have downloaded Google Play Services using the Android SDK Manager which produced: C:\Users\sanxion\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\google\google_play_services - with three folders under it: assets, reference and samples.

As my project is quite old, do I need to update a path or file?

Thanks

Don't try to use an old sdk. It will not work.

Download an updated one: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html
You might need to make a few changes. It will be simpler than you expect.

Thank you. I am using the latest one (12.80).
