The import com.google.android.vending cannot be resolved in an imported android project

Question

I have just imported an android project and when I am trying to run it it is giving me error on the following imports

import com.google.android.vending.licensing.AESObfuscator;
import com.google.android.vending.licensing.LicenseChecker;
import com.google.android.vending.licensing.LicenseCheckerCallback;
import com.google.android.vending.licensing.ServerManagedPolicy;

Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You’re getting those errors because you didn’t import the licensing library.

Go into the folder where u downloaded the android-sdks stuff.

So there are 2 things: I) a Licensing Library and II) the Sample Licensing App

I) The licensing library is located in:

UserName/android-sdks/extras/google/play_licensing/library

II) The Sample Licensing App is located in:

UserName/android-sdks/extras/google/play_licensing/sample

OR

In Eclipse, File-> New -> Other… -> Android Sample Project -> (Choose a Target and hit next) -> Google Play Licensing Library

Step 1:

In Eclipse, Go to File-> New -> Other… -> Android Project from Existing Code -> (Locate the library, ie= UserName/android-sdks/extras/google/play_licensing/library)

Step 2:

Once you have the library imported to Eclipse, right click on the package and go to Properties -> Android. Make sure the “Is Library” option is checked.

Step 3:

In Eclipse, File-> New -> Other… -> Android Sample Project -> (Choose a Target and hit next) -> Google Play Licensing Library. My package was named “play_licensing_sample” by default.

Step 4:

Right click on “play_licensing_sample” and go to Properties-> Android -> Add… -> (Choose the Licensing Library u made in Step 2)-> Apply

You’re done!

Answer 2

I ran into this issue when trying to set up my Android project for an APK expansion file.

The following steps resolved it for me:

• Add downloader_library to eclipse as a "project from existing source" (it has errors)
• Add licensing library to eclipse as a "project from existing source"
• Add licensing library to downloader_library project
