Referencing the google-play-services library

Question

I'm working on a project using the Google Maps Android API v2, and I have a problem when I start referencing google-play-services_lib. A red exclamation mark appears on my project icon, and I have an error message in the "Problems" tab (I'm using Eclipse) :

The container 'Android Dependencies' references non existing library 'C:\Users\Labo FMS\Documents\Applications\04-adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\bin\google-play-services_lib.jar'

And, indeed, if I go to that folder, I see that there is no "google-play-services_lib.jar" file.

I've tried reinstalling the library, and I've noticed that when it's installing there's an error message at the bottom :

[2013-04-09 13:54:32 - google-play-services_lib] Unable to resolve target 'android-8'
[2013-04-09 13:54:32 - google-play-services_lib] Unable to resolve target 'android-8'
[2013-04-09 13:56:18 - MainActivity] Unable to resolve target 'android-8'

Anybody knows what it all means ?

Answer 1

google-play-services_lib not found target 'android-8' because it was not installed in your Android SDK.

change your Android target 'android-8' to any other using.

Your Project--->Right Click-->Properites-->Android-->Select Google API 15(whatever you have)-->ok

Or

Add this in Android manifest file.

<uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="15" />

you can add target SDK any which you have but it must be Google API.
