import cannot be resolved: import com.google.android.maps.*;

Question

I was successfully using google maps in my application but then needed to change the Android SDK version from 1.5 to 2.0. Now the import for Google maps can't be resolved.

Answer 1

Make sure you have

<uses-library
        android:name="com.google.android.maps" />

in your application manifest, and that you've downloaded not just the 2.0 SDK but the 2.0-with-google-APIs SDK. Then set your project's properties in Eclipse to check off the Google APIs version of the SDK you want. Then try to clean your build (Project-> Clean in eclipse; "ant clean" from the command line).

Answer 2

adding google-play-services.jar to my project's path solved my problem.

right click project->properties->java build path-> libraries tab -> add external jar

browse to android-sdk folder->extras\google\google-play-services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\libs\

If you don't have google-play-services folder then you need to close eclipse and open up the SDK manager separately and download google-play.

If you already downloaded google-play and still don't see your google-play-services folder, then you need to search for it....chances are that you have multiple android sdks installed....

Answer 3

1.Install all google API's using sdk manager.

2.In your manifest,under application element add

     <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />

3.You have to include jar file for maps also.. Right click on your project and go to build path and then add external archives. locate your sdk. android-sdk-windows\add-ons\addon_google_apis_google_inc_8\libs\maps
