error: package com.google.android.gcm does not exist - After migrating to Gradle

Question

I have a problem with an old project which was developed in IntelliJ without Gradle. I wanted to migrate it to Android Studio and Gradle, but I am experiencing a lot of prob

Answer 1

You can download gcm.jar by this path

http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/g/Downloadgcmjar.htm

or this

http://www.java2s.com/Code/JarDownload/gcm/gcm.jar.zip

After you download it, unzip it, it should have extention .jar not .jar.zip

Then copy and paste it to libs dir in your project

Then right click on gcm.jar and click on add as lib

That is it

Answer 2

GCMRegistrar is not part of Google Play Services, but is part of the now entirely deprecated gcm.jar file.

You'll need to add gcm.jar to your dependencies if you'd like to temporarily keep using it until you migrate to Google Play Services' GCM implementation:

compile files('libs/gcm.jar')

Answer 3

You need to add these both lines in your build.gradle file of your application :

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.google.maps:google-maps-services:0.1.3'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'
}
