SmugWimp Smugger than thou... Posts: 6316 Reg: Nov 07, 2012 Tamuning, GU 81,410	confirm \| cancel 06/28/14 12:34 AM (10 years ago) Google Play Services config addendum. When I recently updated my google play services, I received the following error in my console: [2014-06-28 16:57:30 - google-play-services_lib] Unable to resolve target 'android-9' Of course, it's because I didn't have Android API 9 available... The short answer is "you need it, but it's not natively visible in your Android SDK Manager". The secret is, to select the 'obsolete' checkbox. This allows you to view, download, and install Android v2.3.1, aka API 9. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/115208762/api9.png Be sure to do this before configuring Google Play Services after an update. I am revising the tutorial and will forward it to Susan upon completion.

After updating my Google Play Services, I was prompted to update my Eclipse. After updating my eclipse, it made me switch Google Play Services to use API 10, rather than 9. Sheesh. After all that trouble. And then, after 'all' of that, I got errors because in the new installation, I couldn't locate 'annotations.jar' a needed file if you're going to 'suppress' some warnings in Java. I found a copy here, and manually put it into /ADT/SDK/Tools/Support http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.android/annotations/4.1.1.4 I changed the name to just 'android.jar' (and removed the versioning) and it works fine.
