Missing Google Play Services in SDK Manager
Solution 1:
No need to again download the SDK Manager as suggested earlier.
Open SDK Manager>Tools>Manage-add-ons sites>User Defined Sites>New
In New, copy the given links one by one and you'll get it.
link 1->http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml
link 2->https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml
the same way I got my solution.
Solution 2:
Download the new SDK here: https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and start the SDK Manager. Then you will find the Google Play Services.
Afterwards, update the ADT inside Eclipse and you are ready to go!
Old post:
If you want to use Google Maps API in your app, you have to download the Google API in the Android SDK.
Open the SDK, open the newest Android API "folder" (Android 4.4), check Google API's and download it. After that, open the project properties in Eclipse and choose Android. In "Project Build Target" choose Google APIs with API Level 19.
Then you can use the Google Maps Activities etc.
Be sure to use the newest Android SDK Manager, i have currently revision 22.3.
Solution 3:
You may need to update:
- Android SDK Tools (Rev 22.3)
- Android SDK Platform-tools (Rev 19)
- ADT Plugin (Version: 22.3.0.v201310242005-887826) (If you are using Eclipse)
The first 2 can be updated through the SDK Manager. The ADT Plugin can be updated through the Eclipse update manager (Help -> Check for Updates).
Edit
There isn't any special order to make the update. However, ADT Plugin and Android SDK Tools must have the same version. In this case, 22.3 is today's last version (1st of December 2013).
Solution 4:
In the SDK manager check the extras checkbox and if only 2 options under the same appear like android support lib and Emulator accelerator check them also.Then check tools and under that check only android sdk tools and android sdk platform tools. Install the checked packages. after that again, reload your SDK manager to see Google Play services appear under the extras. WORKED FOR ME!
Solution 5:
Try launching the SDK Manager by double-clicking the executable (in my case found at C:\DownloadPath\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\SDK Manager.exe) rather than launching it from Eclipse !!
