calendar-android-sample library issue

[Luke Harvey]

Hello,

I'm trying to get the calendar-android-sample working in eclipse and
have run into an issue. Once I've imported the project into eclipse
via File>Import I am seeing missing required library errors.

Project 'calendar-android-sample' is missing required library: '....
\.m2\repository\com\google\apis-samples\shared-sample-calendar
\v2-1.0.0\shared-sample-calendar-v2-1.0.0.jar

Project 'calendar-android-sample' is missing required library: '....
\.m2\repository\com\google\apis-samples\shared-sample-gdata
\1.0.0\shared-sample-gdata-1.0.0.jar

Project 'calendar-android-sample' is missing required library: 'libs/
google-api-client-1.4.1-beta.jar'


Is there a place where I need to go to download these jar files? I
can't seem to find shared-sample-calendar-v2-1.0.0.jar or shared-
sample-gdata-1.0.0.jar

Thanks!

As described in the instructions that go with the sample, you need to have the m2eclipse plugin installed. (http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/installing-m2eclipse.html).

It will parse the pom.xml file, and make sure all the dependencies (and transitive dependencies) will be downloaded automatically.

It will save you the effort of searching / downloading / configuring every single dependency of the project.

Thanks for the response. I had the m2eclipse plugin installed, but it
didn't appear to be working properly. I re-installed and am now seeing
this issue:
Missing artifact com.google.apis-samples:shared-sample-
calendar:jar:v2-1.0.0:compile
Am I missing something else?

I have a similar problem with "picasa-android-sample", and I have the m2eclipse plugin installed. Two jars seems to be missing in my project, the others seems to be ok.

M2_REPO/com/google/apis-samples/shared-sample-gdata/1.0.0/shared-sample-gdata-1.0.0.jar
M2_REPO/com/google/apis-samples/shared-sample-picasa/v2-1.0.0/shared-sample-picasa-v2-1.0.0.jar

Thanks for all of the feedback.

Today I fixed all of the Android samples to use Maven properly.  We now ask you to upgrade to Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo), which has a newer version of the Maven plugin.  You should not be getting any more missing jar errors if you have Maven installed.

Please note that most of the samples require you to first 'mvn install' a shared sample library.  Take a look at the instructions.html file for the sample you are interested in for the Maven instructions.  They are required for the samples, even if you are using Eclipse:

http://samples.google-api-java-client.googlecode.com/hg/picasa-android-sample/instructions.html?r=default

http://samples.google-api-java-client.googlecode.com/hg/calendar-android-sample/instructions.html?r=default

http://samples.google-api-java-client.googlecode.com/hg/tasks-android-sample/instructions.html?r=default

I understand this can be unintuitive, especially if you are unfamiliar with Maven.  If you have any idea of how we might be able to simplify the samples set up instructions, please let us know.  Please also let us know if you are running into other Android sample set up problems.

Hi,

I have followed the instructions exactly except using the Maven plugin from: Maven - http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases instead of the suggested: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e

But i am getting a bunch of compile errors in Eclipse AND if i try and compile via Maven cmdline.

Pasted below but the stackoverflow formatting might be easier to read: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8477791/android-google-calendar-api-sample-compile-error

Any idea what is happening?

Hello Neer,

As Yaniv mentioned earlier in this thread most of the samples require you to first 'mvn install' a shared sample library.

Please take a look at the instructions.html of calendar-android-sample:

http://samples.google-api-java-client.googlecode.com/hg/calendar-android-sample/instructions.html?r=default

These are the lines of interest:

cd [someDirectory]

hg clone https://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client.samples/ google-api-java-client-samples

cd google-api-java-client-samples/shared/gdata/shared-sample-gdata

mvn source:jar install

cd ../shared-sample-calendar

mvn source:jar install

Thank you,

Ravi

We updated the calendar-android-sample to use the new Calendar library.  It should hopefully be much easier to use and set up.  Please take a look and let me know if it works better for you:
