    Problem Description

    Hello, Sonar Systems!
    First of all, thanks for great tutorials. They helped me alot.
    But I have some problems related to Google play services integrating process. I followed cocos Helper (c++) tutorials – C++ | Android Cocos Helper - Setting Up Google Play Game Services.
    I’m using cocos2d-x v3, Google Play services rev 32 and eclipse neon.
    As we know in new google play services rev 30 and above we don’t have google-play-services_lib project file.
    Could you please provide me a brief tutorial how can I integrate it into my project? 
    What steps should I follow to get it worked in my android project?

    Sincerely,
    Azamat Nurzhanuly.

    Hello Azamat,

     

    For now I would recommend using the old version and we are working on some awesome tutorials.

     

    Kind regards

    ok, it solved my problem.
    I’ve installed the old version of google play services ver 29, it has needed google-play-services_lib project and google-play-services_lib.jar file.

    Then, I had some problems related to androi-support-v4.jar file. In my new android sdk’s Android Support Repository’s (rev 36) android-support-v4.jar file I have no util.ArrayMap class. So I installed new library and linked it in eclipse.

    Finaly, after all configuration routins in eclipse, I compiled and ran the project. But my app closed immediately before even started in Emulator.
    The thing is that there were no Google play services.

    So creating a new AVD emulator with target Android 6.0 (23) and CPU/ABI Google API’s intel atom (x86) solved my last problem.

    Hope it will help someone.
