Google Play Services Missing from Extras folder in SDK Manager

So basically I can't find the option to install/download the Google Play Services in the Extras folder of the Android SDK Manager. What could be the possible reasons ? Meanwhile can somebody provide the link to download the lib from the Web ?

Can not find Android SDK folder?

If you have downloaded the AS + SDK bundle: Note #2: you will never find the SDK in the Android Studio directory unless you have explicitly put it in there. The reason is that those directories might be deleted after installing a newer version of Android Studio and you would have to re-install the SDK as well.

I had the same problem and finally figured out a solution that worked for me. Here's what I did:

  • Go to Help -> Install New Software.
    • My android environment was already set up, so I picked "https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/" from the drop down menu
    • Check the top level option - "Developer Tools"
    • Hit the next button and follow the prompts. It said I already had it installed and this would apply an update
    • Ran the SDK Manager again and it now showed me the Google Play Services option to install
