Including Google Play Services In a Titanium Module

Question

I'm trying to build an Titanium Android module that uses Google Play Services as a library. I'm having trouble including the library. Here's what I've tried so far:

Managing Projects from the Command Line - Android Developers

I tried adding

android.library.reference.1=path/to/google/play/services/lib

To my build.properties in my android folder, but to no avail. Ant did not recognize it.

After that, I just tried copying over the .jar file to the android/lib folder, and the res folders into platform/android/res. This caused the module to compile, but when trying to use it, I get this error:

All the results on Google I've found point to me not referencing the project correctly, but I can't seem to find a way to include it into the project with ant recognizing it and not giving me a bunch of errors. Has anyone had any success with this?

Answer 1

I used Titanium Studio to add the google-play-services.jar to the build path of the project and making sure that I copy the actual file to projector/android/lib otherwise it will complain that its not found.
