Android Question Problems after updating to Google Play Service V17

marcick · May 21, 2014

Hi all,
my app was working fine, but after this update to V17, the code

"If MapFragment1.IsGooglePlayServicesAvailable = False Then"

generate this error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value. Expected 4323000 but found 4452000. You must have the following declaration within the <application> element: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
at com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesUtil.t(Unknown Source)
at com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(Unknown Source)
at anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.MapFragmentWrapper.IsGooglePlayServicesAvailable(MapFragmentWrapper.java:101)

I have some difficutlies working with manifest, which is the exact sintax to add that declaration in the manifest ?

Erel · May 21, 2014

I see it too. I'm investigating it. For now you can force the version by replacing @integer/google_play_services_version with 4323000:

B4X:

AddApplicationText(<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="AIzaSyxxx"/> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="4323000" /> )

Make sure to update google-play-services.jar in the additional libraries folder.

re copy librerie Google play after updating!

Erel · May 22, 2014

Not sure that I understand...

if you mean

"Copy google-play-services.jar to the libraries folder"

I did it after update but still have the error.

Erel solution works, thanks

edit: oops .... I copied the library to the additional library folder instead of the b4a library folder. Now I did it correctly and it works, no need to add that code to the manifest.
Thanks both again

edit again .... it seems that now is impossible to compile in debug mode (only release works):

marcick · May 23, 2014

Yes Erel, increasing MaxRamForDex to 1536 solves the problem.
Thanks

Erel · Jun 3, 2014

The original problem happened because google-play-services.jar didn't match the updated resources. When you update google play services from Android SDK Manager you need to make sure that you copy the updated jar file to the additional libraries folder.

marcick · Jun 3, 2014

"library folder", not "additional library"

About the problem compiling in debug mode (that I initially solved increasing MaxRamForDex to 1536), I have uninstalled the SDK and reinstalled again in the path C:\Andoid-Sdk (it was before in c:\programs ....) and now it works correctly, no need to modify MaxRamForDex to 1536.

Erel · Jun 4, 2014

"library folder", not "additional library"

It is better to use the additional libraries folder for any non-internal folder. Though both will work.

marcick · Jun 4, 2014

True ..
I don't know what was happening on my pc before, perhaps the wrong path of Android-Sdk was the cause of everything

holdemadvantage · Jun 14, 2014

Hi all, please help me.
1- i have downloaded with sdk manager GPS rev 17, my sdk is in c:\Android folder
2-i've added this line to my project
#AdditionalRes: C:\Android\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms
3-i've added admob 2.0 lib, google play service jar was copied into additional libraries folder
when i want to to compile (release obfuscated) all was ok but i had an error trying to compile in debug mode
4-i change MaxRamForDex=1536

Now after this change i restart my pc and now i have this error trying to compile (release obfuscated):

Parsing code. 0.11
Compiling code. 0.19
Compiling layouts code. 0.14

Edit: increasing MaxRamForDex to 1536 solves the problem, i did it when b4a was open (i didn't thought i have to change it when b4a was closed)

marcick · Jun 14, 2014

I have to tell you that I had the same problem, solved too increasing MaxRamForDex to 1536.
Then, I uninstalled everything and reinstalled The SDK and B4A from zero and everything worked fine, without increasing that RAM value.

Erel · Jun 15, 2014

You should update this field when the IDE is closed. Otherwise it will be overwritten when you close the IDE (the INI file is rewritten at that point).

I was having challenges with v20 of play services. Luckily I had an old version of the jar file in a backup (apparently once you upgrade you can't go back). Did the following with v20 before giving up:

EDIT: Using v3.82

1) Copied new google-play-services.jar to my addons directory (tried the libraries folder 1st)

2) Added

B4X:

#AdditionalRes: {mypath}\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms to the project properties

3) Added my API key and this to the manifest

B4X:

AddManifestText( <permission
          android:name="$PACKAGE$.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
          android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
      <uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true"/>)
AddApplicationText(<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="MyAPIKey"/>)

AddApplicationText(<meta-data
   android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
  android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />)
  
AddPermission(android.permission.INTERNET)
AddPermission(android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE)
AddPermission(com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES)
AddPermission(android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)

4) Even tried hard coding the version (6111000 for v20 per the src\values file) in the manifest

But I kept getting

B4X:

Like I said I was successful by using an old google-play-services.jar, but if your going for v20, there may be challenges.

Erel · Oct 19, 2014

Are you using B4A v3.82?

Gentry · Oct 19, 2014

Erel said:

Yes using v3.82, added to my OP.

Erel · Oct 20, 2014

I've just tested it with the latest google play services and it worked fine.

Are you using Java 7 (Tools - Configure Paths)?

Gentry · Oct 20, 2014

I think so, it's pointing to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin\javac.exe about says version 7 rev 21.

Erel · Oct 20, 2014

It is Java 7. Not sure why it doesn't work for you. If it happens again please check the unfiltered logs.
