LogCat message The Google Play services resources were not found Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included

Question

I have an application that uses the Google Maps Android v2 API  I ve added the google-play-services lib library project to my workspace and added a reference to it from my application project  following the instructions on these pages    http   developer android com google play-services setup html  https   developers google com maps documentation android start   Everything seems to work fine  The app displays maps and overlays with the default markers   So I m pretty sure I ve got the Google Play services and Google Maps API stuff set up correctly   However  I see this message in the ADT LogCat window whenever the map view is initialized  on a 2nd-gen Nexus 7    The Google Play services resources were not found  Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included    The message level is Error  and the tag is GooglePlayServicesUtil   This seems benign  as my app does work fine  But what can I do or check to try to address whatever the problem might be     Further info  Each time the  Google Play services resources were not found  message appears in LogCat  it is preceded by these messages  which are Warnings and tagged ResourceType   getEntry failing because entryIndex 906 is beyond type entryCount 3  Failure getting entry for 0x7f0b038a  t 10 e 906  in package 0  error -2147483647    FWIW  I can t find the constant 0x7f0b038a anywhere when I search the projects  including the gen R java files   I ve checked the contents of the generated  apk  and it includes all of the resources that are in the google-play-services lib res directory     Another update  After adding ActionBarSherlock and updating the targetSdkVersion in my manifest from 8 to 17  I now see another error in the LogCat output   Could not find class  maps af k   referenced from method  maps ag an a    More details about that problem can be found here  Google Maps works fine on Android but I still get an error  quot Could not find class   39 maps i k  39   referenced from method maps z ag a quot   And once again  the app seems to work just fine  Maybe it s safe to ignore these  errors

I also had the same problem  In starting  it was working fine then  but sometime later I uninstalled my application completely from my device  I was running it on my mobile  and ran it again  and it shows me the same error   I had all lib and resources included as it was working  but still I was getting this error so I removed all references and lib from my project build  updated google service play to revision 10  uninstalled application completely from the device and then again added all resources and libs and ran it and it started working again   One thing to note here is while running I am still seeing this error message in my LogCat  but on my device it is working fine now

I just ran into this problem this morning and seemed very strange since my application was working fine up until today  I was getting the exact same  The Google Play services resources were not found     message   I tried opening the regular Google Maps application to see if I could get my location  but it wouldn t find it  Even after waiting 5 minutes  which is more than enough time to normally get a location from even the service provider via cell tower  So I checked Location Services   Anyway  the problem turned out to be that on my S3 under Location Services -  Google Location Services  It was not checked  The other two location options were checked  VZW Location Services and Standalone GPS Services   but the last one  Google Location Services was not  After turning that on  the regular Google Maps could find my location and my application could find my location and the problem went away   The error message pops up due to   mMap setMyLocationEnabled true     when Google Location Services is not enabled   After doing some more testing it looks like if the current location is null  cannot be determined from all sources  then you will get this error when trying to turn on setMyLocationEnabled

I had the exact same problem when working with several developers  If I RUN the project from my ADT it works well  but from theirs it isn t    The answer was to put their SHA-1 key with the package name in Google API console as well as mine  We are three developers  so we needed to put in three SHA-1 keys    I hope it gives you some inspiration

LE  I just remembered this was about using Google Maps  so my answer doesn t really answer the initial question  but I hope some people will save hours days banging their heads on their desks if they have the same issue with Play Game Services   I too had this incredibly cryptic error  It wasn t anything related to location services for me  but with not properly reading the documentation  more precisely step 3  where it says to add the following to your AndroidManifest xml    lt meta-data android name  com google android gms games APP ID      android value   string app id    gt    You should obviously also have the following in AndroidManifest xml   lt meta-data android name  com google android gms version     android value   integer google play services version   gt    I was using the BaseGameActivity they suggest to use when you want to implement game services so I was a bit surprised it didn t work straight away  I did create a dedicated module for a copy of the google-play-services lib  I did have the latest version of it  4323000 as of writing  and I did set this as a module dependency to my main module  using Android Studio here   But that little line above fixed everything

You know  I don t think it s a bug from sdk   The Google Play services resources were not found  Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included  is exactly right  The jar file putted into your  libs doesn t contain any resources like  xml   png etc  The error logs mean this  And If your ever added support libraries like v4  v7-appcompat  v7-cardview  v7-recyclerview  v7-pallete or v7-gridlayout  sometimes logs which imply that resources are in short occur  All these is because that resources in projects are not imported  So   import support projects as library ASAP  Of course  you first download this support projects through SDK Manager at the item of extras

I had the same issue i have created own API to check whether google play service is installed or not   it works fine for me  Just pass package information of google play service it will give you the value  below is the code     public static boolean isGooglePlayServicesInstalled                 try                   ApplicationInfo info   NativeActivity CURRENT getPackageManager   getApplicationInfo  com google android gms   0             LOG d LOG IDENTIFIER   info       info            return true            catch PackageManager NameNotFoundException e              e printStackTrace             LOG e LOG IDENTIFIER   NameNotFoundException       e getMessage                 return  false

I had the same issue here  As Magnus said above  for me it was happening due to an SDK update to version 22 0 5   After performing a full update in my Android SDK  including Google Play Services  and Android plugins in Eclipse  I was able to use play services lib in my application

As for me I ve solved this problem by next way - as developer android com says  after adding google-play-services lib you should add  lt meta-data android name  com google android gms version  android value   integer google play services version    gt   in your manifest  but on the new SDK you ll always get an error      Error  No resource found that matches the given name  at  value  with value   integer         google play services version      To solve that error many people advise to use a raw value  4030500  instead of  integer google play services version  but it is correct ONLY for Google services revision 13   If you use any older version or version for Froyo  like me  you should put another value in it  To know what value you should put just open a Google Play services manifest and copy-paste a version code value  For Froyo services  it is 3265130  After adding this I ve stopped getting this error  and I ve began to receive coordinates in my application at last

Google Mobile Ads SDK FAQ states that      I keep getting the error  The Google Play services resources were not   found  Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources   are included        You can safely ignore this message  Your app will still fetch and serve banner ads    So if you included the google-play-services lib correctly  and you re getting ads  you have nothing to worry about  I guess

I have decompiled Google Play services revision 14 library  I think there is a bug in com google android gms common GooglePlayServicesUtil class  The aforementioned string appears only in one place   public static int isGooglePlayServicesAvailable Context context        PackageManager localPackageManager   context getPackageManager        try           Resources localResources   context getResources            localResources getString R string common google play services unknown issue         catch  Throwable localThrowable1            Log e  GooglePlayServicesUtil    The Google Play services resources were not found                       Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included                  There is no R class in com google android gms common package   There is an import com google android gms R string   but no usage of string something  so I guess this is the error - there should be import com google android gms R    Nevertheless the isGooglePlayServicesAvailable method works as intended  except of logging that warning   but there are other methods in that class  which uses unimported R class  so there may be some other errors  Although banners in my application works fine

For me the only working solution was to add the  android-support-v7-appcompat library as well  It seems that this library is also needed in order to get rid of that message  Since then my applications have been working fine   I hope it helps

I had the same issue  In the Google APIs Console  you should check that there is only one key generated for that app  I had a stretch where I migrated my code from one PC to the next and so on  it got messy   and had multiple keys for my one project  The older keys are all listed as inactive on the API console page  but for some reason caused a conflict  After deleting them completely  I ran it again and it worked

In my case it meant  there is some kind of mistake in my implementation  and it says that it cannot find the resource for the error message to be properly shown in LogCat  When I fixed that mistake in my implementation the problem from LogCat was gone as well  So actually unless you are missing some really neccessary resource you should not concentrate to fix the missing resources  but rather fix your implementation   The mistake  BTW  was that I was running ads in debug mode without going to ads test mode

I believe that this is a bug in the current Google Play Services library  revision 15  as the underlying cause appears to be caused by failing to read a resource file      W ResourceType 25122   Requesting resource 0x7f0c000d failed because it is complex   E GooglePlayServicesUtil 25122   The Google Play services resources were not found  Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included    It seems that the Google Play Services library attempts to read a resource file and has a generic catch-all that displays this error message when the resource fails to load  This corresponds with what kreker managed to decompile from the library and would explain the log messages

I had this issue too  The way I solved it was the following    Delete the google-play-services lib library-project   Remove the  now invalid  google-play-services lib reference in  your project    Properties   Android  Imported the google-play-services lib library-project from android-sdk-x extras google play services libproject  When you import a project  you get the option  Copy project into workspace   UNCHECK IT  Add the  now valid  google-play-services lib reference to your project with  your project    Properties   Android    This did the trick for me  I hope it helps you too

For IntelliJ IDEA users After struggling for a couple of days  the only way to make it work in IntelliJ IDEA 13 was to import the library  Here are all the steps   Update Android SDK so the latest Play Service is installed  Go to the android-sdk-root extras google google play services libproject directory  Copy google-play-services lib and paste it next to your IntelliJ IDEA project  some recommend using this directory directly  but I advise to keep this code clean    Open IntelliJ IDEA project properties and add new Module google-play-services lib  Check if it s marked as a Library  Add google-play-services lib library project as a dependency to the main project  Add google-play-services library as a dependency library as well   On the link I provided below  you can see an image of how it looks in my IntelliJ IDEA 13  It would not work without adding only one of these two  PS  I asked a question  Why does IntelliJ IDEA 13 require both lib project and lib itself  google-play-service  to be added as a dependency   why is it a must in IntelliJ IDEA 13  and why we cannot import either the library or project only
