Import Google Play Services library in Android Studio

Question

I have an Android project that has been developed entirely within Android Studio  currently version 4 2  gradle version 1 9-all   I want to add functionality from Google Play Services  The project is unable to resolve GooglePlayServicesUtil  and when I enter the import manually  shown below   I get Cannot resolve symbol  common   import com google android gms common GooglePlayServicesUtil   Any idea what I need to do to get GooglePlayServicesUtil to resolve  What I ve Tried From the Google Play Services Setup it looks like I just have to add the com google android gms play-services 4   dependency to my build gradle file  and resync project files with gradle  to make the SDK available to my project  I do get an  quot exploded bundle quot  in ProjectName module build exploded-bundles  but that doesn t seem like it does the trick  I have Google Play Services  Android Support Repository and Google Repository installed from the SDK Manager already  I ve also deleted and reinstalled them multiple times    Edit  Might I need to manually add google play services as a Project Global Library  I ve attempted with no success  I m trying to verify that I m developing against the Platform API with Google Services  if that s even possible   but I m not sure that s the case  Nothing I change seems to do anything  The External Libraries of my project shows    lt  Android API 19 Platform  gt   lt  1 7  gt  joda-time-2 3 support-v4-13 0 0  Source Code This is my ProjectName module build gradle file  buildscript       repositories           mavenCentral             dependencies

I solved the problem by installing the google play services package in sdk manager.

After it, create a new application & in the build.gradle add this

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.3.+'

Like this

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.3.+'
}

I just tried out your build gradle and it worked fine for me to import GMS  so that s not the issue   This was with Google Play services  rev 13  and Google Repository  rev 4   Check out those are installed one more time

After hours of having the same problem  notice that if your jar is on the libs folder will cause problem once you set it upon the  Dependencies    so i just comment the file  tree dependencies and keep the one using   dependencies     compile fileTree dir   libs   include      jar      lt -------- commented one  compile  com google android gms play-services 8 1 0  compile  com android support appcompat-v7 22 2 1    and the problem was solved

Try this once and make sure you are not getting any error in project Structure saying that  ComGoogleAndroidGmsPlay not added   Open File  gt  Project Structure and check for below all  If error is shown click on Red bulb marked and click on  Add to dependency      This is a bug in Android Studio and fixed for the next release 0 4 3
