Question

Unable to compile my android project due to this error.

/BaseGameUtils/src/main/java/com/google/example/games/basegameutils/GameHelper.java Error:(32, 39) error: package com.google.android.gms.appstate does not exist Error:(293, 28) error: cannot find symbol variable AppStateManager Error:(294, 30) error: cannot find symbol variable AppStateManager Error:Execution failed for task ':BaseGameUtils:compileReleaseJava'. 

Compilation error; see compiler error output. Info: BUILD FAILED

My gradle ..

 apply plugin: 'android-library' repositories { mavenCentral() } buildscript { repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0' } } dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:20.0.+' compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:20.0.+' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+' } android { compileSdkVersion 21 buildToolsVersion '21.0.0' defaultConfig { minSdkVersion 14 targetSdkVersion 23 } productFlavors { } } 

Answer 1

I see that you did not specify a game services library.

Instead of this

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

try it

 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0' 

Note. You may have a different version, so instead of 7.8 enter this.

Answer 2

First, you should check if / extras / google / google _play_services / libproject / google-play-services_lib> exists.

Secondly, you add code to build.gradle

 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.+' 

Answer 3

You are missing the com.google.android.gms.appstate package. You must add this to your application. to do this, add compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.+' to your build.gradle (Module: app).

Answer 4

Bump, in my case I used a too high version:

  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.2.1" 

I changed it to:

  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.+" 

This worked, but I have no idea why not appstate included in version 7 above
