Can't find the class com.google.android.gms.location.LocationClient (android)

I have download a demo project from http://developer.android.com/training/location/retrieve-current.html, and I think I don't lost any steps; But I can't find which jar file contain the “com.google.android.gms.location.LocationClient.class” file

We found all "google-play-services.jar" and "maps.jar", and "android.jar (All versions)" don't contain the "LocationClient.class"?

Try this if you use Android Studio:

Right click on your app folder -> Open Module Settings -> Dependencies -> Click on the plus button -> Choose library dependency -> Search for "play-services" -> Double click on the com.google.android.gms:play-services

Press Ok and wait for Gradle to rebuild. If error occurs clean and rebuild your project. here

Follow these steps and save your time

For the benefit of anyone working directly with Phonegap CLI. In your plugin.xml you require the line

<framework src="com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:+" />

LocationClient is deprecated. You have to use GoogleApiclient, like this:

1: Declare a GoogleApiClient variable

private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;

2: Instantiate

mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(mThisActivity)
     .addApi(LocationServices.API)
     .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
     .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
     .build();

3: Implement Callback

public class YourClass extends BaseFragment implements
    GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
    GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener {

    @Override
    public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult result) {
        // your code goes here
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
        //your code goes here
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnectionSuspended(int cause) {
        //your code goes here       
    }
}

4: Start to get Location Updates:

LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(
            mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);

5: Remove Location Updates:

LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, this);

6: Get Last Known Location:

private Location mCurrentLocation;

mCurrentLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);

As Location Client is deprecated the class is no more found in the package. We have to use the following instead

mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(new GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks(){

    @Override
    public void onConnected(Bundle arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        LocationRequest request = new LocationRequest();
        int priority = LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY;
        if (enableHighAccuracy) {
          priority = LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY;
        }
        request.setPriority(priority);

        LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(
                locationClient, request, new LocationListener() {

                  @Override
                  public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

                    locationClient.disconnect();
                  }

        });
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnectionSuspended(int arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
    })
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(new GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener() {

    @Override
    public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
})
.build();

Jeremie Petitjean's solution worked for me. Go into youbuild.grade file and configure your app for a lower version. This is what I used and it works now:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'   
android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "<APPLICATION NAME>"
    minSdkVersion 9
    targetSdkVersion 19
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.0.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.2+'
}

There is some problem with the last GPS lib. You have to use an older version than the latest(6.+). Try with an older version. I didn't see anything inside the doc deprecated or missing about the LocationClient.class. 

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.+'

Update the Google Play library to the latest version using the Android SDK Manager. In addition, I had to remove the library manually and add it again to my project following these steps. Version 3.1.36 contains:

The location folder:

You might have to update the ADT/SDK as well.

You need to update Google Play Service SDK and then use updated library.
