Kivy and Google Play services

Question

I'm trying one approach of implementing ads into Kivy app using this example

I have no idea if its going to work. I downloaded Google Play services in SDK, but I have no clue where I have to stick it into, I tried many places, but unsuccessfully, always get

error: package com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView does not exist

and other packages as well. I apologize for my ignorance of android sdk, but I'm trying to understand it better, so I need some help. I need to know where I have to put 'google-play-services_lib' so it would find it. Thanks!

EDIT: solved it, adding this to 'buildozer.spec':

# (list) Android library project to add (will be added in the
# project.properties automatically.)
android.library_references = libs/google-play-services_lib

but still get an error:

.../android-sdk-21/tools/ant/build.xml:539: Unable to resolve project target 'android-9'

here is this line:

    <gettarget
            androidJarFileOut="project.target.android.jar"
            androidAidlFileOut="project.target.framework.aidl"
            bootClassPathOut="project.target.class.path"
            targetApiOut="project.target.apilevel"
            minSdkVersionOut="project.minSdkVersion" /> # line 539!!!

Answer 1

And that solved as well, sorry for the mess I've made here, asking and answering my own questions, but I think it's an important topic for Kivy users, and there's not much about this on the net. So, solution: I manually set project 'target' to 'android-14' in 'ant.properties' file inside 'google-play-services_lib'. It was throwing error because the google play services library was for newer android api.

Anyway, for anyone curious if that worked (implementing ads into Kivy app for Android), YES it worked, I had to rewrite the original solution to support new library though (using this guide)
