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

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

You will need to add an  integers xml  file to your project s  res values  folder  The contents of the file should be     lt resources gt       lt integer name  google play services version  gt 4030500 lt  integer gt   lt  resources gt

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

I had the same problem in Android Studio 1 2 1 1  It was just liske the other answers said  however  I was not able to find where to add the dependencies  Finally I found it under File- Project structure- Dependencies This menu will give you the option at add the dependency to the Google Play Services library

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
