appengine connected android project dead on arrival

Question

I am following the tutorial to the letter; well, it's actually pretty basic so there is really nothing there. But when I created the project, the android portion is not compiling. Eclipse complains about not being able to resolve the imports. For instance there is a read line under the com.myapp.deviceinfoendpoint portion of

import com.myapp.deviceinfoendpoint.Deviceinfoendpoint;
import com.myapp.deviceinfoendpoint.Deviceinfoendpoint.Builder;
import com.myapp.deviceinfoendpoint.model.DeviceInfo;

Does anyone know how to fix this? Maybe it's a build path issue but there are no instructions on how to set the build path.

I am using mac osx mountain lion and eclipse juno

Also there are red crosses on the following folders:

• endpoint-libs/libdeviceinfoendpoint-v1/deviceinfoendpoint/deviceinfoendpoint-v1-generated-source

• /myapp/endpoint-libs/libmessageEndpoint-v1/messageEndpoint/messageendpoint-v1-generated-source

• /myapp/endpoint-libs (and sub folders)

and the following folders:

• GCMIntentService.java

• RegisterActivity.java

Answer 1

Yup, it happens with me too. The reason this happens is because some how (not sure if its Eclipse or the GAE Plugin) the classes in endpoint-libs/libdeviceinfoendpoint-v1/deviceinfoendpoint/deviceinfoendpoint-v1-generated-source

are moved from the expected structure :

./deviceinfoendpoint-v1-generated-source
    |- com
       |-myapp
           |- deviceinfoendpoint
               |- Deviceinfoendpoint.java

to invalid structure :

./deviceinfoendpoint-v1-generated-source
    |- com
       |-google
           |- api
               |- services
                   |- com.myapp.deviceinfoendpoint
                       |- Deviceinfoendpoint.java

In theory this should not happen. But, well it does! :-)

Try redoing the client library generation fresh, or try fixing them up manually.

[Update: Regenerating the Client Library again wont help. Either try the Command Line Mode.

Or a little hard way do it manually by

1. moving all the contents of com.google.api.services/com.myapp/ package to com.myapp/.
2. Search replace all occurances of "com.google.api.services." in all your generated java source files.

I tried this and it worked. ]
