Android Studio - Library reference ../google-play-services_lib could not be found importing project

Question

I am trying to import from Eclipse to AndroidStudio a project of mine and I am getting the following error

Answer 1

I think "removing the line in the project.properties file that was making reference to the google-play-services_lib library" is not a good fix. To really fix it do either of these : Just edit the location of the path to google-play-services_lib in project.properties file in your Eclipse project root directory.

android.library.reference.1=path/to/the/google-play-services_lib

Note:If you are on windows path\comes\like\this you have to replace the backward slash with the forward slash and your path/will/become/like/this.

e.g :

C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/Android/sdk/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib

or replace "\" with "\" like below :

android.library.reference.1=C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\sdk\\extras\\google\\google_play_services\\libproject\\google-play-services_lib

otherway is - just look at the last portion of the last line of the error ....which resolves to ...folder_name/google-play-services_lib

just create a folder at that location and paste google-play-services_lib from your google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib
