Android Gradle How to build for Android Google APIs 4.2.2 not for Android 4.2.2

问题

Is it possible to build for Android Google APIs SDK instead of the general Android SDK with gradle?

I need the Google Maps APIs in my project therefore I need to change the build target I can find only samples with the build version "17" compileSdkVersion 17 buildToolsVersion '17.0.0'

Any idea how to do that?

回答1:

i figured it out:

1) use the Android SDK Manager and get the Google APIs for the android versions you want (start it from Android Studio, it's seperate from your old sdk manager if you used eclipse before)

2)

• Go to "File > Project Structure > SDKs"
• click the plus sign and select "Android SDK"
• a popup will appear, navigate to your Android Studio installation folder and select the "sdk" subfolder
• another popup will appear: select "Google APIs (#.#.#)"

3) In the same Project Structure window: select "Android #.#.# Google APIs"the Project SDK click Apply/OK

4) Now in your build.gradle files replace

android {
    ...
    compileSdkVersion 17
    ...
}

with

android {
    ...
    compileSdkVersion "Google Inc.:Google APIs:17"
    ...
}

6) restart Android Studio

this did it for me for google apis 16. If you're still having troubles:

• Go to "File > Project Structure > SDKs"
• Select your Google API > classpath
• Make sure the Google APIs jar files are in there (e.g. Android Studio/sdk/add-ons/addon-google_apis-google-16/libs/maps.jar)
• if not add them manually (had to do this for apis 17)
• restart Android Studio
