Import Google Play Services library in Android Studio
JavaAndroidGradleAndroid StudioGoogle Play-ServicesJava Problem Overview
I have an Android project that has been developed entirely within Android Studio (currently version 4.2, gradle version 1.9-all). I want to add functionality from Google Play Services.
The project is unable to resolve GooglePlayServicesUtil
, and when I enter the import manually (shown below), I get Cannot resolve symbol 'common'
.
import com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesUtil;
Any idea what I need to do to get GooglePlayServicesUtil
to resolve?
What I've Tried
From the Google Play Services Setup it looks like I just have to add the com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.+
dependency to my build.gradle
file (and resync project files with gradle) to make the SDK available to my project. I do get an "exploded bundle" in ProjectName/module/build/exploded-bundles
, but that doesn't seem like it does the trick.
I have Google Play Services, Android Support Repository and Google Repository installed from the SDK Manager already. I've also deleted and reinstalled them multiple times :)
Edit:
Might I need to manually add google_play_services as a Project/Global Library? I've attempted with no success.
I'm trying to verify that I'm developing against the Platform API with Google Services (if that's even possible), but I'm not sure that's the case. Nothing I change seems to do anything.
The External Libraries of my project shows:
- < Android API 19 Platform >
- < 1.7 >
- joda-time-2.3
- support-v4-13.0.0
Source Code
This is my ProjectName/module/build.gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion '19.0.1'
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 17
targetSdkVersion 19
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
signingConfigs {
}
productFlavors {
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.+'
compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.3@jar'
}
The com.google.android.gms.version
number resolves fine in my manifest. Here is my ProjectName/module/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.android" >
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="17" android:targetSdkVersion="19"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.android.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".SecondActivity"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
<provider
android:name=".DataProvider"
android:authorities="com.example.android.provider" >
</provider>
<receiver android:name=".WidgetProvider" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
android:resource="@xml/widget_info" />
</receiver>
<service android:name=".DatabaseService" />
<service android:name=".WidgetProvider$UpdateService" />
</application>
</manifest>
Here is my MainActivity, where I'm trying to check whether GooglePlayServices is Available:
package com.example.android;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesUtil;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private static final String TAG = "MainActivity";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
Log.i(TAG, "onResume");
GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getApplicationContext());
}
}

Solution 1 - Java
Try this once and make sure you are not getting any error in project Structure saying that "ComGoogleAndroidGmsPlay not added"
Open File > Project Structure
and check for below all. If error is shown click on Red bulb marked and click on "Add to dependency".
This is a bug in Android Studio and fixed for the next release(0.4.3)
Solution 2 - Java
I had similar issue Cannot resolve com.google.android.gms.common.
I followed setup guide http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html and it works!
Summary:
- Installed/Updated Google Play Services, and Google Repository from SDK Manager
- Added dependency in build.gradle:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.0.30'
- Updated AndroidManifest.xml with
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
Solution 3 - Java
I solved the problem by installing the google play services package in sdk manager.
After it, create a new application & in the build.gradle add this
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.3.+'
Like this
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.3.+'
}
Solution 4 - Java
After hours of having the same problem, notice that if your jar is on the libs folder will cause problem once you set it upon the "Dependencies ", so i just comment the file tree dependencies and keep the one using
dependencies
//compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) <-------- commented one
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
and the problem was solved.
Solution 5 - Java
I just tried out your build.gradle
and it worked fine for me to import GMS, so that's not the issue.
This was with Google Play services (rev 13)
and Google Repository (rev 4)
. Check out those are installed one more time :)
Solution 6 - Java
I got the same problem. I just tried to rebuild, clean and restart but no luck. Then I just remove
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'
from build.gradle and resync. After that I put it again and resync. Next to that, I clean the project and the problem is gone!!
I hope it will help any of you facing the same.
