POIs Google Play Services for Froyo compatible with Android 2.3 and higher?
text
Body
copied!<p>In reading the <a href="http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html" rel="nofollow">Google Play Services setup documentation</a>, it sounds like Google Play Services for Froyo Rev. 12 should be forwards-compatible with Android 2.3 and above.</p> <p>However, I'm having issues implementing this in my <a href="https://github.com/barbeau/gpstest" rel="nofollow">GPSTest app on Github</a>, which currently includes Google Play Services for Froyo.</p> <p>If I try to build a project using Google Play Services for Froyo Rev. 12 with the element:</p> <pre><code><meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> </code></pre> <p>...included in the AndroidManifest.xml, I get a build error:</p> <pre><code>Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@integer/google_play_services_version'). </code></pre> <p>This is expected (from my current understanding) because this integer doesn't exist in the Google Play Services for Froyo project (sdk\extras\google\google_play_services_froyo\res\values).</p> <p>If I remove this element from the manifest, it works fine when building and debugging the app via Eclipse (as I would expect). However, when I export the APK, install on a device (Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.3, Google Play Services v4.0.34 - downloading the exported APK from Dropbox), and run, I get the following error on startup, and the app crashes:</p> <pre><code>java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value.
