I'm getting "Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at value with value @integer/google_play_services_version)"

Question

I'm developing an app on Ionic Framework/cordova, and when I try "cordova run android" I get this:

"Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at value with value @integer/google_play_services_version)"

I don't really know what is happening, I tried to set the value with a fixed value (I know is not the best solution), and the problem continues.

Answer 1

For anyone encountering this issue using Android Studio and/or Gradle, you just need to make sure that you have the right dependency in your grade file. Again, do NOT hardcode this value into a versions.xml file..

Gradle eg.

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:7.5.0'
}

Answer 2

Copy the google-play services_lib library project to your workspace OR Import the library project to your eclipse.

Click File > Import, select Android > Existing Android Code into Workspace, and browse the workspace import the library project.

Right click on your android project. Goto properties. Choose Android on the left panel. Click on Add and browse the library project. Select the same. Click ok and apply.

Answer 3

Install and configure the Google Play services SDK properly. You don't need to hard code that value.

• Add Google Play services as an Android library project.

I have found that the play services libproject has to be imported onto the same physical drive as your project. (check the 'Copy projects into workspace' checkbox when you import)

Answer 4

I solved the problem by copying the version.xml file from google play service lib.

google-play-services_lib/res/values/version.xml 

to my project

MyApp/res/values/version.xml

Answer 5

You need to add the play services library to your project. This doesn't work by jus adding an external jar. You need to import the play_services_lib project into your workspace. And then add this library to you project by going to

Your Project -> Properties -> Android -> Library

Checkout this link for detailed explanation on how to import the play_services_lib into your workspace

http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html

After this the error will vanish and you need not add any fixed value.

Answer 6

For anyone encountering this issue using Android Studio / Gradle, you just need to make sure that you have the right dependency in your grade file.

1. You need to setup Google Play Services – https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup (1. Debes configurar Google Play Services)

2. If you already completed previous step then (si ya completaste ese paso entonces)… Let say that you have this Gradle: (suponiendo que ya tienes un archivo Gradle asi:)

   dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:7.5.0' }

you need to add a single line for Gradle to include the Google Play Services library (solo necesitas agregar un solo renglon para que Gradle incluya la libreria de Google Play Services library)

dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:7.5.0' }

Is a bad practice to hardcode this value into the versions.xml file (se considera una mala practica “quemar” o dejar fijo este valor en el archivo mencionado)

Answer 7

For anyone having this issue while building in Unity3D:

1. Assets/PlayServicesResolver/AndroidResolver/ResolveClientJars

2.Build again

This fixed this exact issue for me today.

stderr[
AndroidManifest.xml:19: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@integer/google_play_services_version').
