For historical reasons, I’m going to reproduce what I did, taken from here. Many thanks to @Hesam who found it. I will vote to close the whole question. Note: the shortcuts are for OS X and Intellij 12 and 13. Make sure you have the latest SDK/ADT Tools and the play services. They change every … Read more
Google suggests (also in docs) calling getErrorDialog() if the result code is SERVICE_MISSING, SERVICE_VERSION_UPDATE_REQUIRED or SERVICE_DISABLED. So it may be that the last possible status code (SERVICE_INVALID) is what’s causing trouble. I’m using the following code and so far it seems to work ok (testing in emulator, platform 2.3.3): int resultCode = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(activity.getApplicationContext()); if (resultCode … Read more
