Android Question google play services update to 29, now app won't compile

[katrad]

Here's the error I'm getting:

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 copied the update google-play-services.jar in my libraries folder.

Here's my manifest file:

'This code will be applied to the manifest file during compilation.
'You do not need to modify it in most cases.

        android:resource="@xml/searchable"/>)
AddActivityText(Main, <meta-data android:name="android.app.default_searchable"
                   android:value=".result" />)

I was ready to publish the app, I have no idea what to do. Please help!! Thanks in advance!!

I found a link to an older version of google-play-services and removed the current and installed that and I'm working again. I am for sure next time backup first. Here is the link where I found the file http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20982533/how-to-download-older-google-play-services

That probably leaves my question as valid, or the update was messed up from Google.

Hi ! I´m having the same problem ? Erel, could you help us ?

 

[Erel]

Which version of android.jar are you using (Tools - Configure Paths)? Update it to a newer version.

 

[katrad]

I was using version 19, I tried later version when I was testing up to 23, but it still wouldnt compile and had the same error.

Identical problem .... I fortunately have a backup of the old library

 

[Erel]

I've just tested it. It works properly with android.jar version 22+.

 

[marcick]

Corrected Erel, I've upgraded to 22 and now it works.
Thanks !

Question: if I change to 22, will it still work on devices version 19? In the mean time, I'll try 22, it's nice to always have it current with SDK. Thank You. I downloaded jdk 8.66 yesterday and am going to change to that too.

 

[Erel]

if I change to 22, will it still work on devices version 19?

Yes. It will also be compatible with Android 2.0 (API 5).
