  • 0

I’ve used the Maps APIs many times before and not had this problem, but I’ve clearly done something wrong with this IntelliJ project. Under Settings->SDKs I have specified the platform 7 Google API in the classpath – it still fails to build saying the Maps APIs are not there. I have also tried added a separate reference to the classpath to the Google APIs .jar, but still the same problem.

How do I fix my IntelliJ IDE project so it correctly builds against the Google APIs?

It’s been a long day, I am probably missing something obvious.

    So to get the Google (Maps etc) APIs working in IntelliJ:

    1. Under File->Project Structure->SDKs add an item for the platform level you’re targetted. Under the classpath tab add a reference to the top of the android SDKs folder, and use the Build Target menu to specify which platform to target.
    2. Under Settings->Project Structure->Modules->Dependencies select the SDK version from the “Module SDK” list
    3. If you need to target the Google (Maps etc) APIs then under Settings->Project Structure->SDKs->Classpath make sure you ALSO add a reference the .jar file for the Google APIs for that platform version (e.g. addons/addon_google_apis_google_inc_8/libs/maps.jar
