Android Question \google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res does not exist

MarcoRome · May 21, 2016

Hi all.
I bought a new PC and then installed B4A. I have the following problem. When I'm going to fill the message as indicated in Point 1:

B4A version: 5.80
Parsing code. (0.02s)
Compiling code. (0.02s)

ObfuscatorMap.txt file created in Objects folder.
Compiling layouts code. (0.00s)
Generating R file. Error
ERROR: resource directory 'f:\android\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res' does not exist

but it seems everything installed correctly.

If you see in point 2 GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES is installed, but if you open path i dont found libproject

The strange thing is that in google_play_services folder does not exist libproject \ google-play-services_lib \ res

in attachment also movie.

Any idea ?

Thank you very much for any type support
Regards
Marco

Well the latest SDK Android is a nightmare.

I solved in the following way

1. Unistall Google Play Services

View attachment 44260

2. Download Google Play Services 29 and unzip.

3. You have a Folder in zip file : google_play_services

4. Copy this folder in your path --> X:\xxxxxxx\extras\google

5. Now you have X:\xxxxxxx\extras\google\google_play_services

6.Close all.

7. Run B4A. If you have error "Packaging files. Error" you see this THREAD

I did all steps, even restart my PC but can't fix it. Help!!!

Hi all,
about post #11. I read ..google\google-play-services... (minus signs in g-p-s sequence) in the folder selected path, while the error box shows ..google\google_play_services.. (underscore chars in g-p-s sequence).

Just to signal the discrepancy.

This works just fine, be careful that the path in the #additionalres is case sensitive or it keeps saying (res not found) at least on windows 7

Meanwhile, google-play-services went to version 31.
There needs to be a better solution than perpetuating version 29.

Then with the B4A version 6.0 there ISN'T PROBLEM. This thread had been opened in relation to version 5.8 B4A. He had the same problems with the update SDK 30
But with version 6.0 there is no problem.
So if you use B4A 6.0 dont worry.

Por el momento la mejor que yo encontré es pasarme a Visual Studio con Apache Cordova

I have follow this process ( #31), no problem for google_play_services but now I have an other problem :

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" />

Can you help me please?

You must copy the files that you have in "X:\Android\extras\..." as:

google-play-services.jar
android-support-v4.jar
android-support-v7-appcompat.jar
android-support-v7-mediarouter.jar
etc...

in your add folder library B4A.

Erel · Aug 12, 2016

Note that this thread is not relevant if you are using B4A v6.0+.

MarcoRome · Aug 12, 2016

This thread was opened when there is version 5.80 and the new SDK.
After a couple of days went out the version 6.0 and everything has been solved.
Strongly suggest to switch to version 6.0

Arnaud · Aug 12, 2016

I use already version B4A v6.0, but I had different problem when I have updated google play service (v32):

1) google_play_services folder does not exist libproject \ google-play-services_lib \ res
----> I have followed the process (#31) to install google_play_services v29

2) Then, I had the problem with library FusedLocationProvider
----> I have changed library FusedLocationProvider 1.10 to 1.31 (because google_play_services older than version 27)

3) Then, I had the problem with java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value
----> I copy android-support-v4.jar (#37, thanks MarcoRome)

4)Then , I had this error :UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL ERROR:java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space when I compile
---> I have changed the file ini (b4xV5) to change MaxRamForDex 1024 to 1536

Youpiiiii all works fine, what an adventure !!!

I don't understand why I had this problem with version B4A 6.0 ?

Thank you very much for your help Erel, MarcoRome and all forum !
