android - Google Sign In not working (no crashes or exceptions)

Question

I'm working on an app and I need it to have a Sign In activity. I have been following this (developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/android/sign-in) and this and for some reason, everything is working just fine, no crashes, no error messages but no sign in as well.

But, every time I launch the activity I get these in the "Run" tab:

W/System: ClassLoader referenced unknown path: /data/user/0/com.google.android.gms/app_chimera/m/00000008/n/armeabi-v7a
W/System: ClassLoader referenced unknown path: /data/user/0/com.google.android.gms/app_chimera/m/00000008/n/armeabi

and:

W/DynamiteModule: Local module descriptor class for com.google.android.gms.crash not found.

and:

W/DynamiteModule: Local module descriptor class for com.google.firebase.auth not found.

and in the logcat I get:

GoogleService failed to initialize, status: 10, Missing an expected resource: 'R.string.google_app_id' for initializing Google services.  Possible causes are missing google-services.json or com.google.gms.google-services gradle plugin.

But the wierd thing is I have the google-services.json in my app directory.

My project gradle is:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0-alpha7'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.0.0-alpha6'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}allprojects {
repositories {
    jcenter()
}}

My module:app gradle is:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "(My app ID)"
    minSdkVersion 16
    targetSdkVersion 24
    versionCode 4
    versionName "1.3"
}
 buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

productFlavors {
}}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.1.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:24.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.0-alpha5'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Now here is my code (based in google's "Integrating Google Sign-In into Your Android App" tutorial):

public class Multiplayer extends AppCompatActivity implements
GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
View.OnClickListener {

private static final String TAG = "SignInActivity";
private static final int RC_SIGN_IN = 9001;

private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
private TextView mStatusTextView;
private ProgressDialog mProgressDialog;@Override

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.content_multiplayer);

    // Views
    mStatusTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.status);

    // Button listeners
    findViewById(R.id.sign_in_button).setOnClickListener(this);
    findViewById(R.id.sign_out_button).setOnClickListener(this);
    findViewById(R.id.disconnect_button).setOnClickListener(this);

    // [START configure_signin]
    // Configure sign-in to request the user's ID, email address, and basic
    // profile. ID and basic profile are included in DEFAULT_SIGN_IN.
    GoogleSignInOptions gso = new GoogleSignInOptions.Builder(GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_SIGN_IN)

    // may be displayed when only basic profile is requested. Try adding the
    // Scopes.PLUS_LOGIN scope to the GoogleSignInOptions to see the
    // difference.
    SignInButton signInButton = (SignInButton) findViewById(R.id.sign_in_button);
    signInButton.setSize(SignInButton.SIZE_STANDARD);
    signInButton.setScopes(gso.getScopeArray());
    // [END customize_button]

        // and the GoogleSignInResult will be available instantly.
        Log.d(TAG, "Got cached sign-in");
        GoogleSignInResult result = opr.get();
        handleSignInResult(result);
    } else {
        // If the user has not previously signed in on this device or the sign-in has expired,

        showProgressDialog();

Here is my folder structure (I did it as rakesh kashyap suggested)

Can someone help me? I can't seem to find the source of the problem.

Answer 1

You can fix this issue by downloading and copying the google-services.json file for your Android app by following the steps below:

• Select your app/project name and Android packagename from this link and click Continue to Choose and configure services.
• Click Continue to Generate Configuration files.
• Download google-services.json and copy the file to the app/ or mobile/ module directory in your Android project.

Answer 2

Try this...

Check your build variant (Build -> select build variant). Make note of the variant name. Should be debug or release or what ever you have defined

Select project view. Navigate to app -> src and create a directory with the EXACT same name as your build variant.

copy your JSON file to this directory.

Try Build -> clean project. check gradle cosole. you should see something like this (Parsing json file: Drive:\\path_to_your_app_dir\\your_app_name\\app\\src\\release_prod\\google-services.json )
