            Log.d("SiteTrack", "REQUEST_TOKEN");
        }
    }   
}

However, I am getting “cannot be resolved” errors on all the com.google imports. I have Google APIs 16 and have set it as my project build target. Anyone know what the problem is?

    To take care of the Drive-related imports, you’ll need a few jars from the Google Drive SDK. There are a few large ones, so you may want to add them individually to suit your app.

    If that doesn’t resolve the com.google.android.gms.* imports, the Google Play Services add-on needs to be installed (from Extras -> Google Play Services in the SDK Manager) and google-play-services.jar needs to be added to your build path.

    EDIT:

    In this case, the following jars were needed:

    1. google-api-services-drive-v2-rev1-1.7.2-beta.jar
    2. google-http-client-1.10.3-beta.jar
    3. google-http-client-android2-1.10.3-beta.jar
    4. google-oauth-client-1.10.1-beta.jar
    5. google-api-client-android2-1.10.3-beta.jar
    6. google-api-client-1.10.3-beta.jar

    If you’re using the Google Plugin for Eclipse, the steps for creating a Drive-enabled project are outlined here.
