Setup Google Play services SDK in Eclipse

The Google Play services SDK is an extension to the Android SDK and is available as a downloadable package from the SDK Manager. The download includes the client library and code samples.

To develop using the Google Play services APIs, you must download the Google Play services SDK. Google Play services is not supported on the Android emulator, a physical device runs Android 2.2 or higher must be used to run and debug apps using Google Play services SDK.

 To install Google Play services SDK from Eclipse:

- Window > Android SDK Manager.

- Scroll to the bottom of the package list, select and install Extras > Google Play services.

- Accept and install.

- After installed, import the library project into your workspace. Click File > Import

- Select Android > Existing Android Code into Workspace, and browse to the copy of the library project to import it.

- click Browse to select <android-sdk-folder>/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib, and click Finish.

    hello Ishar Zulfika,

    What displayed after done? Have it changed to installed?

    I'm not sure your case! May be it have been installed already, or the server is not available at the moment, you can retry later.

    Hallo

    I came across a problem while installing google play services.
    Last night I updated my sdk manager, but the google play services and most of the other stuff in the second pic dont show.

    I had the same problem as Ishar but after I closed and open the sdk manager it installed.

    I cant seem to find a solution on the internet.

    Hope you can help me.

    hello Runeshkrishna,

    You have to install it in SDK Manager first, under Extras > Google Play services.

    As shown in the 2nd screenshot.
