I see a red "X" and a question mark under "project" instead of the green tick.

The problem is -

The path to your google play services library is not same as the path to your project. It is outside of your project. And so is not recognized by simple import.

Solution - Put the library in the project's libs folder.

NOTE: Just putting the library to the libs folder is not enough.

After you added your library follow these steps -

1) Go to Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add JARs..

2) Now add your recently added jar to the build path from JAR selection process.

3) Go to Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Order and Export.

4) Put a tick mark in the check box against this library name and press OK.

5) Do Project -> Clean.
