Eclipse

• Copy the library project at

/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib/

to the location where you maintain your Android app projects.

• Import the library project into your Eclipse workspace. Click

File > Import, select Android > Existing Android Code into Workspace

and browse to the copy of the library project to import it.

• After you've added the Google Play services library as a dependency for your app project, open your app's manifest file and add the following tag as a child of the element:

< meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

Android Studio

• Open the build.gradle file inside your application module directory.
• Add a new build rule under dependencies for the latest version of play-services eg

    ...
    dependencies {
        compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.2.0'
    }
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
