I tried to upgrade my implementation of AdMob. Using the GoogleAdMobSDK, I would like to turn into the google-play-services-lib.

The ad appears. So it seems ok, but I still got this error at the method call loadAd() in log

    Requesting resource 0x7f0c000d failed because it is complex
    GooglePlayServicesUtil: The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included.

Here's my checklist:

  • I import the library project in my workspace, copying the source.
  • I reference the library into my project

  • I add the meta-data in the Manifest

    <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
   android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

  • My code

    this.request = new AdRequest.Builder().addTestDevice(id).build();
this.adView = new AdView(context);
this.adView.setAdUnitId(MY_AD_UNIT_ID);
this.adView.setAdSize(AdSize.SMART_BANNER);
...
this.adView.loadAd(request);

The target version for my app in 9 (2.3). I test on Nexus 5 with KitKat version.

I also tried to put the google-play-services-lib jar in the properties, but no result.

I want to be sure that this error could be handle before submit my app.

  • Is the google-play-services_lib.jar listed under "android dependencies" when you click the arrow, and is it selected for Export? Have latest version 4.2 (Rev 15)? – NameSpace Mar 03 '14 at 17:18
  • Yes for everything. As William said, it seems to be a benign error. But I'll keep a watch out for next update of the library – DanjaStyle Mar 04 '14 at 11:48
  • See [this thread](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18068627/logcat-message-the-google-play-services-resources-were-not-found-check-your-pr/23044931#23044931). Note that if you're getting ads served, then you can ignore these errors as [noted in this faq](https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/kb/). – grebulon Apr 13 '14 at 16:09

This is a benign error with the current version of Google Play Services. Don't worry about it. Submit your app. Get some sleep.

  • Thanks for the answer. And you're right : when I read again my post, I understood the meaning of your advice. But, in my defense, I'm French and this was my first technical post in English on stackoverflow. I'll do my best next time ;-) – DanjaStyle Mar 04 '14 at 11:38
