Checking for google play services with firebase [duplicate]

Question

Declaring dependencies as

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.4.0'

I get "can not resolve symbol GoogleApiAvailability" message in the activity's import row

import com.google.android.gms.common.GoogleApiAvailability;

What is wrong?

• not question's duplicate: Google Play Services are already on the latest version

Answer 1

Add this line to your build file dependencies:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:9.4.0'

play-services-base is the Play Services base client library and is listed in the Play Services Setup Guide.

Answer 2

I faced same problem but in my case problem solved by just changing the position of apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' in the build.gradle(Module: app) file.

Line

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

was written at the last in the gradle file. Remove this from here and add it to the top, below the line apply plugin: 'com.android.application' Like this:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

and click on sync now. Problem solved.

Answer 3

For my case just adding this dependency worked -

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:16.0.0

Answer 4

If your using the latest classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.10', for checking the Google PlayServices Availability you can use GoogleApiAvailabilityLight
