Cannot Find Google APIs for Android SDK

Question

I\'ve been trying to create an application that uses Google Maps and upon getting an error for \"MapActivity\" I searched the web and found the solution was to make my build

Answer 1

I faced the same problem.

Restarting the Eclipse & SDK manager solved the problem. After Restart, all the GOOGLE API and other stuff are visible under the respective Build.

If this dont show any change, Invoke the SDK Manager.exe as ADMINISTRATOR and this will solve the problem

Answer 2

If it is an old package it is possible that it is obsolete and the SDK manager wont show it by default. Go to "Packages" Tab and select "Show Obsolete Packages".

Answer 3

Reinstalling SDK manager and ADT solved the problem.

Answer 4

I found that working with the Motorola Development studio made things very easy to pick up various API levels from Google. You can find all of the download and documentation at

developer.motorola.com

Answer 5

I encountered the same problem

Go here to manually download the Google APIs. For example, I use GoogleAPI level 8, so I download the package here

After downloading just extract the zip file to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\add-ons" and rename the directory to "google_apis-8" instead of "google_apis-8_r02".

Answer 6

This happened to me.

The simple fix was to update currently installed packages, which in turn updated the SDK Manager app, then after restarting, every appeared including the USB drivers.

Apparently, if the SD Manager is outdated, then you won't be able to install important thing like the USB driver.
