Android Question Compiling error on Google Maps android tutorial

[microbox]

Hi everyone, I following the tutorial on this link https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/google-maps-android-v2-tutorial.24415/ but when compiling I have the following errors.

I also attached my paths configuration just in case. And also I'm lost with step #6, not really sure where to place it
(#AdditionalRes: C:\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms)

Kind regards,
microbox

6. Add an #AdditionalRes attribute to the main activity:
You should add a reference to Google play resources by adding the following line:
Code:
#AdditionalRes: <google-play-services res folder>, com.google.android.gms
For example:

#AdditionalRes: C:\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms

Seems that you are missing that one

Hi DonManfred, thanks for the time...but I'm still lost when it mean Add an #AdditionalRes attribute to the main activity is this referring to the Activity attributes?

#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: B4A Example
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName:

You need to edit the path to match the path on your system

 

[Pendrush]

In latest B4a version you can also use

#AdditionalRes: $AndroidSDK$\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms

I'm still new to this is it referring to the path configuration?

Thank you for your valuable time..

You don't need to download an older version.

Do you see this path under the Android SDK folder: extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res ?

$AndroidSdk$ variable was added in v5.50. You need to write the exact path instead.

 

[microbox]

Hi Erel, is this the one?

Like this?
#AdditionalRes: $AndroidSDK$ \extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res

 

[Erel]

Replace $AndroidSDK$ with C:\Android\...

Which error do you get? The path error?

 

[microbox]

Which error do you get? The path error?

Not sure..but I think a certain file required.

Compiling layouts code.    (0.00s)
Generating R file.    Error
C:\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res\values-v21\appinvite_styles.xml:5: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@android:style/Theme.Material.Light.DialogWhenLarge.NoActionBar'.

I'm using this Android jar(C:\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-20\android.jar)

When I change to Android 21 and up I get this error.

B4A version: 5.20

You can change the timeout value under Tools - IDE Options.

I already change the time out but same result.

Finally got it to work.. set the delay to 70 sec and android 23..but when I run the the application..its says "Google Play services not available". How can I resolve this?
