How to fix “No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@integer/google_play_services_version')”

Question

I am getting the following error when I build my Android App project in Visual studio 2015.

No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@integer/google_play_services_version')

These lines are located under:

obj\Debug\android\manifest\AndroidManifest.xml

There is 3 entires of it inside the AndroidManifest file.

I have downloaded the google play service from the SDK Manager.

Should I reference anything to my solution?

I already has Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base, Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Basement, Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Maps Referenced.

Thanks.

Answer 1

you have create integer.xml file inside value folder and define your Integer to that place it will solve your problem.

Answer 2

Try doing and a clean all and check that ALL the content under the obj has been deleted and then perform a build all.

If that does not work:

I would try removing the ~GooglePlayServices~ nugets/references and re-add just the Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Mapsnuget which will bring in the ~Basement and ~Base libraries.

You should end up with a generated manifest that only has one reference to google_play_services_version and that resource should be picked up from Debug/android/XXX/YYYYYY/ZZZZZ/R.java:

i.e.

public static final int google_play_services_version=0x7f070000;

Answer 3

I added several new packages. One of the package is the reason of the error. I have to check one by one and caught the one causing error. Removing that package is all I need to do to resolve the error.
