GoogleCloudMessaging cannot be resolved to a type

Question

I am the only person that is experiencing this problem in the world. So I really need an expert, I think.

• I am using Eclipse with Android Development Tools.
• I have added ALL of the relevant libraries to the project
• I have added gcm.jar

GoogleCloudMessaging cannot be resolved to a type

How can I resolve this problem? I cannot see any people that have the same problem.

Here are my library includes

I even tried changing Project Build Target, which does not help at all.

Then I finally tried the Java Build Target one. Which does not help too.

So I'm stuck here. I want only to use the GoogleCloudMessaging class. But I can't.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

The GoogleCloudMessaging class is in com.google.android.gms.gcm.GoogleCloudMessaging, which is part of the Google Play Services.

You'll need to download the Play Services through the SDK manager and then add that to your project as well.

Answer 2

Thats right -- you need to add google-play-services-lib jar file from "your sdk folder/extras/google/google-play-services/libproject " some thing like that add this jar file and import the librariy after that ( CTRL + SHIFT + o ) and you will see it will fix

Answer 3

gcm-server.jar is for the third party server. But to implment the GoogleCloudMessaging in your android app you need to include google-play-services.jar file
