Here are the steps to create and configure the project

In Eclipse, create a new Android Application Project.

At last make sure you have added the Google Play Services library in your projects Build Path.

You need to add the android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS and android.permission.INTERNET permissions to the AndroidManifest.xml file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
