Android Question Howto get resources

[fishwolf]

I have move the b4a into a new pc.
in my projects i had a resources link to

#AdditionalRes: C:\Users\MY\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\android\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms

i have set the Google Play Services download from Sdk manager, but the "
"libproject" and "res" folder are not present

Suggest?

You don't need to use #AdditionalRes if you are using B4A v6.

why is it so slow?
Why don't found aapt? aapt is on C:\Android\build-tools\24.0.0 and not under "tools"

Why don't found aapt?

remove buildtools v24 from sdk (deinstall v24 buildtools). Use an older version (23.x). V24 is not compatible

if i remove i have this erorr

AndroidManifest.xml:29: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@integer/google_play_services_version').

in manifest i have:

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"/>
)

if i haven't the folder cannot follow this tutorial

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/google-play-services-installation-tips.45843/#content

and cannot copy:

- Copy google-play-services.jar from <android sdk>\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\libs to the additional libraries folder. Make sure to repeat this step whenever you update Google Play Services.

I've added a message to that tutorial. It is not relevant for developers who use B4A v6+.

Which library are you using that depends on google play services?
