Cannot resolve symbol 'LocationClient' in Android Studio

Question

I'm getting this error developing an application in Android Studio that I would like to use location services in.
I know this question has been asked before but I beleive the previous was with an app developed in Eclipse.

I beleive this may be an issue with the setup of Google Play Services
I have followed the instructions here http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html but I am now getting the error.

Could it be something to do with the fact that I previously installed Google Play Services through the SDK manager in eclipse before?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Answer 1

LocationClient was removed from the Play Services SDK a few months ago. You now use GoogleApiClient, LocationServices.API, and FusedLocationProviderApi to access the fused location provider in Play Services. This sample project demonstrates how to get a location fix from this new API, and its use is also covered in this blog post.

Answer 2

Small trick

add google play services older version in your build.gradle

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.0.89'

I know this is not good solution. But it could solve your issue.
