[Sergey Cheparev]

As promised, I've sketched google play services client and have written small intruction here:

Just FYI and if someone will also want leaderboards and achievements using google play services in his/her kivy app.

Happy New Year!

Seems like I've done the same as google client in Tito's 2048 :-P

But tito's 2048 uses gamehelper stuff, and it appears you don't? That's a plus (i still can't build gamehelper)

[Sergey Cheparev]

That is correct, I don't.

Where does pyjnius need to be installed? Do you have a command line?

[Sergey Cheparev]

Normally in virtualenv (if you use it) or globally with root:

[sudo] pip install https://github.com/kivy/pyjnius/archive/1.0.3.zip

[Damien Moore]

Installing pyjnius globally didn't work. I had to use the .buildozer/venv/...
before that I had to use venv to install cython. (This seems very hacky to me.)


Anyway, now I have the following error

[aapt] /home/XXX/src/wordassembly/.buildozer/android/platform/python-for-android/dist/slidewords/bin/AndroidManifest.xml:25: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@integer/google_play_services_version').
[aapt]

Where and to what value does one set the google_play_services_version ?

[Sergey Cheparev]

Can you post the line 25 of AndroidManifest.xml? I think you have not set meta tag in buildozer spec. Is this error from pyjnius installing process? Which os do you use? If ubuntu, you can install cython system wide with apt

(Was offline for a few days)

Line 25 says: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>

Isn't that what it should be?

The closest matching issue on stackoverflow seems to be this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19843784/google-play-services-library-update-and-missing-symbol-integer-google-play-serv

And this suggests that I need to add the play services lib so maybe you just forgot to add this step to your instructions? To do this I used the android tool (~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-20/tools/android) to get the google-play-services_lib from extras, copied it to my project under libs, added it to buildozer using "android.library_references = libs/google-play-services_lib", then had to do "~/.buildozer/.../tools/android update lib-project --path libs/google-play-services_lib --target 1" to generate the build.xml for the lib. After that I could do the buildozer android release after following your other instructions.

Anyway, after I do this I get a successfully compiled binary and it appears to be working, at least for leaderboards.

Which is exactly described in the last post (http://cheparev.com/kivy-recipe-google-analytics-and-bug-monitoring/), which I reference in the first sentence of the post. More attention :)
