Answer 1

I ran into the same issue for colors.xml, it was because this file does not seem to be present anymore. The colors it contains before are now declared in common_colors.xml. Perhaps you want to delete your previous Google Play Services folder from your project to do a fresh copy.

Answer 2

This error cropped up for me when I was trying to update my version of google play services. The full process that worked for me was to delete the original project, remove all references to the play services project from my other projects in the workspace (i.e. open the project properties and remove play services as a referenced Android library project), then import the play services project. I can't remember if I did Import Existing Projects into Workspace or Import Existing Android Code.

The trick that got rid of the "originally defined here" errors was to first remove the existing old references to the project.

Answer 3

Delete the old project and than add the new one, otherwise some files are not removed, which can cause problems like this one

Answer 4

Try to import library from same folder where project exist without adding to workspace.

Answer 5

You need to copy entire $SDK\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services folder including source.properties file

Answer 6

Try to import library without adding to workspace. In my case that was a solution.

Answer 7

I was having the same issue, and it was caused by some conflicting resource values in the extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib folder.

Since admob and analytics are now merged into Google Play Services, what I did was uninstall those items from the SDK Manager as well as the Google Play Services. Then I just reinstalled Google Play Services. That ended up removing the duplicate resource values and my build succeeded after that.
