Android Question Google play services problem

[tufanv]

Hello

I am downloading the google play services rev 30 from sdk manager . After i go to G:\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services
to copy the jar and paste in libraries folder but there are only 2 files : docs - samples there is no lib file and i cant find the jar file. I tried to delete pakage and reinstall with no luck.

Any ideas ?

Damned ....
I'm downloading now the 2.4GB of SDKandroid.rar to go back to V29.
Which is the correct procedure once I have finished the download ? Remove V30 from SDK manager ?
And then ?

Did you receive B4A v6.0 BETA? It works with the new format of Google Play Services.

I've just installed it but I get this error:

"ERROR: resource directory 'c:\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res' does not exist"

So I tried to comment the line

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

But I get now the error:

"AndroidManifest.xml:154: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@Integer/google_play_services_version')."

 

[Erel]

#AdditionalRes is no longer required.

You do however need to add a reference to the service that you are using. Which libraries are you using?

 

[marcick]

If I comment that line I get the error about the manifest, that I suppose is here, how to modify it ?

AddApplicationText(<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="AIzaxxxxxxxxxx-DKqTQ3BtRwHW2PDT4nwM2k5U1c4"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"
    />)

And what do you mean about the libraries used, those one selected in the IDE ?

 

[Erel]

I see that you are using GoogleMaps. You need to add this line:

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

[Erel]

No. You should keep it (or better update it as explained in the updated tutorial).

Sorry for the confusion, seems working now ....
