== Setup to use Google Play Services ==
Using the Google Play Location API is a challenge - they try to make it easier but at the same time using this special API makes things harder. If you really want to use it, these are the steps you need to follow:
* Go to your SDK Manager and make sure the latest versions of "Google Play services" and "Google Repository" are installed. When you do that - make sure to not install any other updates. The SDK Manager likes to suggest all kinds of updates that you don't need and will use up all your disk space.
* See [https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup here]. Note it's talking about the build.gradle file inside the app subdirectory of your project.
* For testing youI didn'll need an t manage to get this to work on any version of the emulator with the proprietary services installed , but it did work on itmy Nexus 5.
