How to add google-play-services jar project dependency so my project will run and present map

Question

I have following problem  I try to use SupportMapFragment from com google android gms maps SupportMapFragment which is part of Google Maps Android API v2   My first approach was to add project to Eclipse from android-sdk extras google google play services libproject google-play-services lib location and set it as referenced project in Properties -  Project References menu of MyApp  I also added project to Java Build Path   Projects  Error indicators disappeared from Eclipse but when I tried to run my app I got NoClassDefFoundError exception    So my second approach was to copy jar file from google-play-services lib libs to my project s libs directory  MyApp succesfully started but in LogCat I can see dead code     something message so I guess that jar file has to be referenced in another way    And now I am confused and tired   Maybe someone more experienced in Android can tell me what should I do

Some of the solutions described here did not work for me. Others did, however they produced warnings on runtime and javadoc was still not linked. After some experimenting, I managed to solve this. The steps are:

Install the Google Play Services as recommended on Android Developers.
Set up your project as recommended on Android Developers.
If you followed 1. and 2., you should see two projects in your workspace: your project and google-play-services_lib project. Copy the docs folder which contains the javadoc from <android-sdk>/extras/google/google_play_services/ to libs folder of your project.
Copy google-play-services.jar from <android-sdk>/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib/libs to 'libs' folder of your project.
In google-play-services_lib project, edit libs/google-play-services.jar.properties . The <path> in doc=<path> should point to the subfolder reference of the folder docs, which you created in step 3.
In Eclipse, do Project > Clean. Done, javadoc is now linked.

The quick start guide that keyboardsurfer references will work if you need to get your project to build properly  but it leaves you with a dummy google-play-services project in your Eclipse workspace  and it doesn t properly link Eclipse to the Google Play Services Javadocs   Here s what I did instead    Install the Google Play Services SDK using the instructions in the Android Maps V2 Quick Start referenced above  or the instructions to Setup Google Play Services SDK  but do not follow the instructions to add Google Play Services into your project  Right click on the project in the Package Explorer  select Properties to open the properties for your project   Only if you already followed the instructions in the quick start guide   Remove the dependency on the google-play-services project     Click on the Android category and remove the reference to the google-play-services project  Click on the Java Build Path category  then the Projects tab and remove the reference to the google-play-services project   Click on the Java Build Path category  then the Libraries tab  Click Add External JARs    and select the google-play-services jar file  This should be in  Your ADT directory  sdk extras google google play services libproject google-play-services lib libs  Click on the arrow next to the new google-play-services jar entry  and select the Javadoc Location item  Click Edit    and select the folder containing the Google Play Services Javadocs  This should be in  Your ADT directory  sdk extras google google play services docs reference  Still in the Java Build Path category  click on the Order and Export tab  Check the box next to the google-play-services jar entry  Click OK to save your project properties    Your project should now have access to the Google Play Services library  and the Javadocs should display properly in Eclipse
