Im trying to add google play API to my android game and i followed the instructions in their site.
I got this error in the emulator run, trying to solve it. (on my phone
Google Play services needs to be listed as a dependency in the code (which you have done) and also on the device/ emulator that you are using.
When creating the virtual device, go to *AVD --> Create virtual device --> new hardware profile --> next --> select the image as per requirement. You should have an option of seeing the google play services version. If that isnt high enough then you probably dont have the images needed which can be downloaded from android SDK
EDIT : Sorry i meant to type AVD and not ADB. Android Virtual Device Manager is a mobile icon with some green circles below it located on top right corner. This is used to launch new emulators with select hardware settings. These settings are downloaded from the android SDK in form of system images under the different APIs
