title: LogCat message: The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included
body: <p>I have an application that uses the Google Maps Android v2 API. I've added the <code>google-play-services_lib</code> library project to my workspace and added a reference to it from my application project, following the instructions on these pages:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html" rel="noreferrer">http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html</a>.</li>
  <li><a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start" rel="noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Everything seems to work fine: The app displays maps and overlays with the default markers.  So I'm pretty sure I've got the Google Play services and Google Maps API stuff set up correctly.</p>
  
  <p>However, I see this message in the ADT LogCat window whenever the map view is initialized (on a 2nd-gen Nexus 7):</p>
  
  <pre><code>The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The message level is Error, and the tag is <code>GooglePlayServicesUtil</code>.</p>
  
  <p>This seems benign, as my app does work fine. But what can I do or check to try to address whatever the problem might be?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>Further info: Each time the "Google Play services resources were not found" message appears in LogCat, it is preceded by these messages, which are Warnings and tagged <code>ResourceType</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>getEntry failing because entryIndex 906 is beyond type entryCount 3
  
  Failure getting entry for 0x7f0b038a (t=10 e=906) in package 0 (error -2147483647)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>FWIW, I can't find the constant 0x7f0b038a anywhere when I search the projects, including the gen/R.java files.</p>
  
  <p>I've checked the contents of the generated .apk, and it includes all of the resources that are in the <code>google-play-services_lib/res</code> directory.</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>Another update: After adding ActionBarSherlock and updating the targetSdkVersion in my manifest from 8 to 17, I now see another error in the LogCat output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Could not find class 'maps.af.k', referenced from method 'maps.ag.an.a'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>More details about that problem can be found here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15145789/google-maps-works-fine-on-android-but-i-still-get-an-error-could-not-find-class">Google Maps works fine on Android but I still get an error &quot;Could not find class &#39;maps.i.k&#39;, referenced from method maps.z.ag.a&quot;</a></p>
  
  <p>And once again, the app seems to work just fine. Maybe it's safe to ignore these "errors"?</p>
