[Android Maps API]：Google-play-services提示在手机上更新但不在模拟器中更新。

Question

I've stumbled upon a little barrier when trying to get the location of a user. While trying the code in the emulator, I can get location coordinates and everything works perfectly.

However on my real phone (Samsung galaxy s4 with latest updates), the android studio run-monitor gives me the following message:

W/GooglePlayServicesUtil: Google Play services out of date.  Requires 9683000 but found 8122238
I/AdressPopup: Location services connection failed with code 2 

(AdressPopup being my classname where this occurs). No coordinates and thus no location can be acquired as such.

I have the latest build for google play services specified in my build.gradle (module: app) file:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.6.1'

Any ideas on what might be causing this problem?

Answer 1

So apparently the problem was my specific targeted device. After I updated the google maps app on my phone and ran an update on the google play store (although I'm not sure if the latter was necessary), the location function in my app started working.

I hope this helps anyone who stumbles upon the same problem.
