Making Google Play Services 4.0.30 work with Android Studio 0.4.2 & Gradle 0.7

Question

There doesn\'t seem to be a shortage of solutions available for getting Google Play Services to work using Android Studio. I’ve tried most of them. After much trial and muc

Answer 1

We've been seeing problems with newly added libraries not getting properly picked up; I think this is bug https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=64508 which will be fixed in 0.4.3. In the meantime,

• Exit Android Studio
• Back up your project
• Delete all the .iml files and the .idea folder
• Relaunch Android Studio and reimport your project

This is the same answer as Android Studio suddenly cannot resolve symbols

Answer 2

I don't see GooglePlayServices version specified in your manifest via meta-data attribute:

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
       android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

Please see set-up guidelines
