Android: cannot import BaseGameUtils successfully in Eclipse

Question

I want to use game api in my android project.

And I get started by following the instructions described in Google Site (the part - Setting up your game project) from the following link. https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/init

I have downloaded the library BaseGameUtils from this link https://github.com/playgameservices/android-samples

Then I import it as a project as described in instruction.

However, what I've got is a project named main but not BaseGameUtils.

And then I cannot called its BaseGameActivity in my android project.

How can I solve it?

Same issue solved differently.

I've imported the BaseGameUtils project and also couldn't refer to it. If you right-click the BaseGameUtils project that you've just imported and then go to properties > android and check "is library" you are able to refer to it in your app project.

Thx this worked! There seems to be very little support on the web for this stuff, kinda sucks. – vedi0boy Aug 12 '14 at 18:21

Solved.

When importing project, not to select BaseGameUtils folder, but the root folder 'android-samples-master'. Then check the project named BaseGameUtils.

This worked for me:

Download code from github, https://github.com/playgameservices/android-basic-samples In the downloaded folder copy the files from

android-basic-samples-master\BasicSamples\libraries\BaseGameUtils\src\main\java

to

android-basic-samples-master\BasicSamples\libraries\BaseGameUtils\src\main\src

Now import android-basic-samples-master as an android project.

Choose only BaseGameUtils , you'll get a project called main, right click project > properties > android Add library and select google-play-services_lib and also tick isLibrary and OK.

Also add an external jar android-support-v4.jar by right clicking project > properties > Java Build Path > Add external Jar .

Now add this project named main to your actual project as a library. TADA !

SOLVED.

You must follow: From the command line run Scripts/make_eclipse_compat (or Scripts/make_eclipse_compat.cmd on Windows). This creates the directory structure needed to import the projects correctly. Attention: android-basic-samples-master > Script/make_eclipse_compat.cmd

Adding to SEG.Veenstra's answer "....just imported and then go to properties > android and check "is library" you are able to refer to it in your app project" this link as there are problems in Google's documentation: Android Play Services Leaderboard cannot be installed (BaseGameUtils)

This is the original Directory structure from this playgameservices github link

android-basic-samples->BasicSamples->libraries->BaseGameUtils->

Change your BaseGameUtils project directory structure to this:

Now try importing this BaseGameUtils project into your Eclipse workspace.
Right Click on BaseGameUtils project->properties->Android->Check Is Library
Right Click on "YourProject"->properties->Android->Add->BaseGameUtils

Apply & OK.

Now BaseGameUtils is linked with your project
