Answer 2

You’re getting those errors because you didn’t import the licensing library.

Go into the folder where u downloaded the android-sdks stuff.

So there are 2 things: I) a Licensing Library and II) the Sample Licensing App

I) The licensing library is located in:

UserName/android-sdks/extras/google/play_licensing/library

II) The Sample Licensing App is located in:

UserName/android-sdks/extras/google/play_licensing/sample

OR

In Eclipse, File-> New -> Other… -> Android Sample Project -> (Choose a Target and hit next) -> Google Play Licensing Library

Step 1:

In Eclipse, Go to File-> New -> Other… -> Android Project from Existing Code -> (Locate the library, ie= UserName/android-sdks/extras/google/play_licensing/library)

Step 2:

Once you have the library imported to Eclipse, right click on the package and go to Properties -> Android. Make sure the “Is Library” option is checked.

Step 3:

In Eclipse, File-> New -> Other… -> Android Sample Project -> (Choose a Target and hit next) -> Google Play Licensing Library. My package was named “play_licensing_sample” by default.

Step 4:

Right click on “play_licensing_sample” and go to Properties-> Android -> Add… -> (Choose the Licensing Library u made in Step 2)-> Apply

You’re done!

Answer 3

I ran into this issue when trying to set up my Android project for an APK expansion file.

The following steps resolved it for me:

• Add downloader_library to eclipse as a "project from existing source" (it has errors)
• Add licensing library to eclipse as a "project from existing source"
• Add licensing library to downloader_library project

Answer 4

In android studio 2.2.3 I was able to fix the "package com.google.android.vending.licensing does not exist" error by:

• Right click the downloader_library module from your project view
• Select "Open Module Settings"
• Select "Dependencies" Tab
• Press plus sign + then select "3 Module Dependency"
• Select "market_licensing" and press OK.

Answer 5

In Android studio you need to add a folder same level as java(folder) called aidl. Take a look at the image for more specific.

You can get those file here - https://android.googlesource.com/platform/development.git/+/b8168f27f6f5b6b0ced5ef3210c0e89e8d3a5ae2/samples/MarketLicensing/src/com/android/vending/licensing

Answer 6

You may want to review the steps this link. It goes through the steps of adding it to your Android project, regardless of your IDE. Eclipse will work just fine.

These steps take some time and effort, but I have successfully done this before.
