I’m trying to add Google Play Services to my project so I can implement Admob and Play Games.
I’ve followed this tutorial [https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup](https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup) and added com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:19.1.0 to my build.gradle file, my top-level `build.gradle` contains a reference to the `google()`, and changed AndroidManifest as well, but I get the error “The import com.google.android cannot be resolved”.
Adding a google play services jar is an old method, so how can I do it?
P.S: If my text is all messed up for you, I apologize. I’m new to the forum.

@Tagedik ===
Are you using AS or Processing?

Like i said, I added com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:19.1.0 to my build.gradle file and made sure my top-level `build.gradle` contained a reference to the `google()`.

I am looking for a way to change the build.gradle file, but did not yet found one. Could you please tell me how you changed build.gradle?

@Mesalcode === you cannot find it using P5 before compiling! - That’s why i was asking “how have you done”… You can find it only using AS.
