While trying the google plus API example from the project site I’m completely stuck

  • 0

While trying the google plus API example from the project site I’m completely stuck with one import:

import com.google.api.client.googleapis.extensions.android2.auth.GoogleAccountManager;

This thing just doesn’t seem to exist in the project.

The sample is a read-made Eclipse project I imported, and to be sure I checked if the massive amount of .jar’s in the /lib directory are added to the build path. They are, I can see them listed in the Referenced Libraries part in my Eclipse project.

I can find mentions of com.google.api.client.googleapis.extensions.android2.auth but there just doesn’t seem to be any GoogleAccountManager class around.

Several possibilities I have come up with, but can’t find out which is it, let alone find a solution to them:

  • I have not set up my project correctly. I doubt it, but completely possible. This would mean that the example has a broken project set-up and/or I managed to not import all libraries?
  • The class or package or something like that is renamed // named differently. This would mean the example is broken out of the box, and that I still need to find the correct class (and change the import + calling code to that)
  • Something else 😀

The following are the contents of the libs directory as you can also browse on the project page . Notice that it does containt google-http-client-extensions-android2-1.6.0-beta.jar

google-api-client-1.6.0-beta-sources.jar

    On the first page is a link to updated Google plus libraries google-plus-java-starter_v5.zip

    Updated Link: google-plus-java-starter_v5.zip

    It contains android/libs/google-api-client-extensions-android2-1.6.0-beta.jar, which contains GoogleAccountManager class.

    As this is an extension it probably needs other jars too.

    (summary of comments)
    Manually adding /libs/google-api-client-extensions-android2-1.6.0-beta.jar to the build path and verifying that it is in the Referenced Libraries fixes the problem. It is unknown (to me (Nanne)) why this doesn’t happen automagically when adding the libraries, but there you are.
