In Android Studio you can fix this by simply adding this to your Gradle file:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'

EDIT

Now, due to updates and new Gradle API the line you should use is:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:12.0.0'

One more important tip: Avoid using bundled version of Google Play Services, but consider declaring just dependencies that your app needs to reduce it size as well as to reduce unnecessary hit to 65k methods limit. Something like (i.e. for Maps) this would be better than general play-services usage above:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:12.0.0'

It is probably that your library is not linked to project properly or that you have older google-play-services library version so conflict appears and Eclipse got stupid    S  No you don t need to add anything in integers xml  When you link properly Google-play-services library to your project reference android value   integer google play services version  will be found and you are ready to go  When you add library to your project just do one more clean so funny Eclipse environment sweep-out things properly   If you hardcode somewhere this number when next play version come you would need to update it  And if you forget that  you will spend time again looking for bug    S   Hope it helped

In my case i had to install google repository from the SDK manager

This error can also happen when you ve downloaded a new version of Google Play Services and not installed the latest SDK  Thats what happened to me  So  as the others mentioned  if you try to import Google Play Services and then open the console  you ll see a compile error  Try installing all the recent Android SDKs and try again  if this is the case

From here     You should be referencing a copy of the library that you copied to   your development workspace   you should not reference the library   directly from the Android SDK directory    I faced this error because I referenced the original copy from SDK directory  Make sure that you first copy the library to android workspace and only reference it  In eclipse you can do it by checking  Copy projects into workspace  while importing the project

I was getting the same error  I had previously installed the google-play-services lib for Google Maps  and it was working fine  but then when I later tried adding the meta-data entry to my Manifest I was getting the error   I tried all the above suggestions but nothing would link them properly  I finally removed the link from my project  project-properties-Android  remove google-play-services lib library   then removed from Eclipse workspace  deleted the files on the disk  and finally used the SDK manager to reinstall from scratch     That seemed to finally do the trick  now Eclipse has decided to allow me to leave the meta-data entry with no errors
