The Import Com.google.android.gms Cannot Be Resolved

I am new to Android development. By following this tutorial I got errors The import com.google.android.gms cannot be resolved when I wrote the code into the MainActivity.java: impo

Solution 1:

Another way is to let Eclipse do the import work for you. Hover your mouse over the com.google.android.gms import that can not be resolved and towards the bottom of the popup menu, select the Fix project setup... option as below. Then it'll prompt to import the google play services library. Select that and you should be good to go.

Solution 2:

I checked off Google API as project build target.

That is irrelevant, as that is for Maps V1, and you are trying to use Maps V2.

I included .jar file for maps by right-clicking on my project, went to build path and added external archive locating it in my SDK: android-sdk-windows\add-ons\addon_google_apis_google_inc_8\libs\maps

This is doubly wrong.

First, never manually modify the build path in an Android project. If you are doing that, at best, you will crash at runtime, because the JAR you think you put in your project (via the manual build path change) is not in your APK. For an ordinary third-party JAR, put it in the libs/ directory of your project, which will add it to your build path automatically and add its contents to your APK file.

However, Maps V2 is not a JAR. It is an Android library project that contains a JAR. You need the whole library project.

You need to import the android-sdk-windows\add-ons\addon_google_apis_google_inc_8 project into Eclipse, then add it to your app as a reference to an Android library project.


Solution 3:

From my experience (Eclipse):

  1. Added google-play-services_lib as a project and referenced it from my app.
  2. Removed all jars added manually
  3. Added google-play-services.jar in the "libs" folder of my project.
  4. I had some big issues because I messed up with the Order and Export tab, so the working solution is (in this order): src, gen, Google APIs, Android Dependencies, Android Private Libraries (only this one checked to be exported).

Solution 4:

In my case or all using android studio

you can import google play service

place in your build.gradle

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0'

or latest version of play services depend in time you watch this answer

More Specific import

please review this individual gradle imports

You may need restart your android studio to response


Solution 5:

Note that once you have imported the google-play-services_lib project into your IDE, you will also need to add google-play-services.jar to: Project=>Properties=>Java build path=>Libraries=>Add JARs
