Hi,

I would like to add the externals libraries "Google Api Client library" and "Android extension" to my project. But I can't find them with the SDK Manager?

I try to declare :
B4X: 
#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth
#AdditionalJar: com.google.api-client:google-api-client
#AdditionalJar: com.google.api-client:google-api-client-android

but the compiler returns an error :
Maven artifact not found. com.google.api-client/google-api-client

Could you help me? Thanks a lot

I tried to add the jar file, like this:
B4X: 
#AdditionalJar: C:\users\olivier\Mes documents\01-projets\02-Android\ZeBudget.dev\Android\libs\google-api-client-android-1.30.4.jar

But, at runtime, I get this error :
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/api/client/googleapis/extensions/android/gms/auth/GoogleAccountCredential;

you´ll NOT get it working.

Which Api do you want to implement exactly?

Use B4A Code to use any of the Google REST Apis.
Example:

[B4X] Google Geocoding REST API

This code is compatible with B4A, B4i and B4J. 1. Get an API key: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/get-api-key 2. Sub PlaceToLatLon(Place As String) As ResumableSub Dim res() As Double = Array As Double(9999, 9999) Dim j As HttpJob j.Initialize("", Me)...

You´ll also need to use OAuth2

[class][B4X] Google OAuth2

Edit: The Android implementation will not work with Google services due to new restrictions. Use GoogleAuthorization instead with B4A: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/google-authorization-with-authorizationclient.169164/ It is no longer possible to use WebView to implement Google's...

Hi DonManfred,

Thank you for your answers. I will Use B4A Code solutions.
I was hoping to use a library created with Android Studio to access Google Drive.

DonManfred said:
what kind of lib should this be? Sounds like a plugin for Android Studio? If so then it will not help. B4X does not use any AS plugins.

the Android Extension is the library "google-api-client-android".

Best regards.
