GmsLib
|
|
======
|
|
This library is a compatibility implementation of the often used play-services library.
|
|
|
|
It will try to use the Play Services when installed on the target device. If this is not possible, a basic fallback implementation might be used.

WIP

|
|
This is still work in progress, and most applications will not build.
|
|
However feel free to try it out and create issues for missing method calls (please include an application to test it).

Example: DashClock
|
|
------------------
|
|
[DashClock](https://code.google.com/p/dashclock/) is an open source clock widget with enhanced features.
|
|
However it uses play services as location backend and thus requires proprietary libraries to compile it.
|
|
|
|
However, it is possible to build DashClock using GmsLib, supporting all it's location features, with or without play services installed.
|
|
To do this, download and build GmsLib plus its submodules and copy the three resulting .aar files (SafeParcel.aar, GmsApi.aar, GmsLib.aar) to `$DASHCLOCK_DIR/local_aars/`.
|
|
Then replace `compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.0.30'` in `$DASHCLOCK_SRC/main/build.gradle` with
|
|
|
|
compile(name:'GmsLib', ext:'aar')
|
|
compile(name:'GmsApi', ext:'aar')
|
|
compile(name:'SafeParcel', ext:'aar')
|
|
|
|
and build as usual.
