Android Google Admob: Google Play services resources were not found

Question

I am trying to use the Google Mobile Adds SDK.

I have followed the guide here: https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/#play but have some errors when running my program.

The adverts appear to be working, but I get the following error (seems to occur 3 times every time an advert is loaded):

GooglePlayServicesUtil: The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included.

I have imported the google_play_services-lib and haven't been able to resolve this issue.

If I run the adverts without using test device I also get the warning appearing many times:

PicturePileLayerContent: Warning: painting PicturePile without content!

Answer 1

Check this from : https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/kb/#resourcesnotfound

I keep getting the error 'The Google Play services resources were not found.

Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included.' You can safely ignore this message. Your app will still fetch and serve banner ads.

Answer 2

You have to add the google-play-services-lib as a library-project. They updated the sdk. There are several tutorials around. For Eclipse it is easy:

Right click project -> properties -> Android

Add the liberary project google play service lib.
