The strings required by this library should be part of the google-play-services_lib.

https://github.com/playgameservices/android-samples/blob/master/libraries/BaseGameUtils/res/values/gamehelper_strings.xml

Thereby we would have translations for all the different languages already instead of having to create them ourselves.

Get the following problem with SignIn workflow.

• setup GameHelper in onCreate
• let helper attempt signing in onStart - it fails
• initiate userSignIn, it fails when multiple Google accounts are present with resolution showing popup. This resolution is started as mConnectionResult.startResolutionForResult(mActivity, RC_RESOLVE);
• Receive in onActivityResult SIGN_IN_FAILED error with no additional details because onConnected and onConnectionFailed method implemented in GameHelper were not called - signin attempt failed somewhere inside ConnectionResult

Any way to know what went wrong and why signin failed?

onstart the intent to choose the account appears over and over y don't connect never.

the same goes in the method beginUserInitiatedSignIn.

with the previous version did not have this problem.

at com.android.gplay.a.h(GameHelper.java:856)
at com.android.gplay.a.onConnectionFailed(GameHelper.java:832)

Android 2.3.7. ANR from client.

The GameHelper class should deal with the case that the user initiates the sign in flow twice. Eg when the connection is slow the user might hit the sign in twice.

The exception is:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: GameHelper: operation attempted at incorrect state. Operation: beginUserInitiatedSignIn. State: CONNECTING. Expected state: DISCONNECTED.

Hi,

Can you kindly update the samples to exclude "import com.google.android.gms.games.GamesClient;" and use GoogleApiClient

Kind Regards

We see issues when the game helper cannot connect during sign in (such as when your device is in airplane mode). It keeps retrying causing the application to lock. Here is the log that asks us to report the bug:

To replicate:

• Click on login with Google button.
• This button runs the GameHelper.beginUserInitiatedSignIn().
• You'll get a dialog box to select an account.
• Just cancel.
• You cant click on the button any more.

please update the ButtonClicker example, since the GamesClient class doesn´t exist anymore. please, change this example to use the new GoogleApiClient class.

In SkeletonAction.java most of the constants refer to the old GameClient. They need to be updated to Multiplayer and GameStatusCodes

hi. just want to ask for confirmation if this is normal. the connecting to google play game popup sign in, in gamehelper shows but not on top of the calling activity

is this normal?

i tried to modify gamehelper setup() with extra View parameter so i could call buulder.setviewforpopups() but it doesnt work. the calling activity gets hidden while the sign in popup shows

Once in the constructor and once in onCreate().

Surprisingly after room creation MIN_PLAYER value dose'nt work at all in this code that is for default room UI.

final int MIN_PLAYERS = 2;
Intent i = getGamesClient().getRealTimeWaitingRoomIntent(room, MIN_PLAYERS);
startActivityForResult(i, RC_WAITING_ROOM);

if i set MIN_PLAYERS = 3; then nothing will change and game starts immediately after 2 players.

When only passing in a Context (eg the ApplicationContext) the sign in crashes the play games service because it can not display the pop up to greet the player.

Some of my users devices are reporting a NullPointerException when fetching the Person object. It is attempted straight away after onSignInSucceeded() listener call.

Upon looking at the PlusClient.getCurrentPerson() docs it states that "This method can return null if the required scopes weren't specified in the PlusClient.Builder, or if there was a network error while connecting"

.... But GameHelper.setup() uses the GameHelper.CLIENT_ALL scope.

Any idea what could cause this?

Hi,

Our game implementing Google Play Game have now been live on the Play Store for a week, however I was expecting to see the "Game Features" banner appearing on the game listing page, like for other Play Game apps.

Any idea when that could happen ?
Thanks

It requires gradle plugin 0.7.0 and gradle-wrapper 1.9.

dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7.+'
}

and

Hi,
Are sendUnreliableRealTimeMessage and others thred-safe ?

Also, the service seems unreliable. Sometimes no notification is received, or the other player doesn't appear on my list on a quick match.

Bundle autoMatchCriteria = RoomConfig.createAutoMatchCriteria(MIN_OPPONENTS,
MAX_OPPONENTS, 0);
RoomConfig.Builder rtmConfigBuilder = RoomConfig.builder(this);
rtmConfigBuilder.setMessageReceivedListener(this);
rtmConfigBuilder.setAutoMatchCriteria(autoMatchCriteria);
rtmConfigBuilder.setRoomStatusUpdateListener(this);

getGamesClient().createRoom(rtmConfigBuilder.build());
}

but game still starts after 1(one) opponent (as set MIN_OPPONENT=1) . onRoomConnected() callback is called right after 1 opponent and did not wait for further opponents (as we set in MAX_OPPONETS.=3).

i also tried with my own waiting room UI and add a time delay. after that delay game will starts with available opponents within min and max opponent limit. but this will never happen ...
i am confused. :(

Hi,
I have installed BaseGameUtils with another MainActivity project in sdk sample and renamed package name and app_id. when I want to login G+ by touch login button on the Button Clicker 2000 screen, it returned Unknown error dialog and eclipse console log showed: Sign-in failed.
What can I do next?

Thanks!

Here is the interesting problem I can't reproduce, but keep getting crash reports from my users.
Basically the error happens onSigninSucceed when I register to listen to invitations and it throws illegal state, because Google client is not connecter. How it can not be connected if it is done from onConnected callback?

Here is a full stack:

Hi again,
First, is there a better place to report bugs/issues about the Play Games Services API ?

When I call room.getCreatorId(), (to start a quick game), the answer is different for the different players !! The room has the same ID for all players but the creator is reported differently by the different players (each player reports himself as the creator).

Also, when onActivityResult is called as a result of the Waiting Room, which happens after onRoomConnected() is called, the corresponding room instance just reports the current player when I call getParticipants(). If I call the same function room.getParticipants() just before, from onRoomConnected(), I get the full list of participants. This is weird.

While running my app, this warning occurred. I'm not sure where I should include the logcat output. Let me know and I will upload it.

GameHelper WARNING: GameHelper: bug detected. Please report it at our bug tracker

https://github.com/playgameservices/android-samples/issues. Please include the last couple hundred lines of

logcat output and describe the operation that caused this. Explanation: succeedSignIn should only get called

in the connecting or connected state. Proceeding anyway.Operation: succeedSignIn. State: DISCONNECTED.

Expected states: CONNECTING CONNECTED.

I'm taking a look at pushAccomplishments function in TypeANumber sample code and I realised, when you update the value of an incremental achievement, it isn't checked if its current value is greater the current value of mBoredSteps:

if (mOutbox.mBoredSteps > 0) {
      getGamesClient().incrementAchievement(getString(R.string.achievement_really_bored), mOutbox.mBoredSteps);
      getGamesClient().incrementAchievement(getString(R.string.achievement_bored),
                    mOutbox.mBoredSteps);
}

I've actually checked, for instance, if the variable mBoredSteps value is 2 and the current value of the achievement is 9, this value will be replaced and it will be 2.

Is this library still relevant with the new Google API model? Will it be adapted or abandoned?

Hello,

so I noticed, when you have multiple google accounts registered with device (in settings), after you request sign in, you will be prompted with the list of google accounts, an option to create new account and button "cancel". After you press cancel, you recieve error code 4, which will be interpreted by the library as dialog with text "unknown error". Now as I don't know what is the solution for this, I temporarily disabled dialogs for error code 4. Shouldn't be this fixed?

Also, is there some nice way to alert user when trying to sign in without internet connection? Will API somehow let me know, so I can show alert? (Or proper way is on sign in request check internet status?) Another question I have is, what will happen if user is signed in, then turns the internet off and I submit score with the API, will the submitted score be somehow stored? Or should I also check internet status when sending score with API (even when user is signed in)? Last thing on my mind is, is somewhere on the internet the list of error codes? Because i.e. I recieved error code 10002, and I have no clue what it means.

Hi Bruno, I know that RtmpHelper.java is a experimental class, but I was wondering if you could throw up a quick guide that shows how to use it in our own Activities. Thanks. I assume that the RTMP stands for Real-Time Multiplayer.

Hi
Eclipse doesn't give me the option to import these sample projects. The Folders for the samples also seems to be missing folders. ( ie no res folder)

Are these samples only compatible with Android Studio???

Hi,
I am trying leaderboard feature,
but I can't find show leaderboard button,
after figure out,
It is screen-size problem,
Does anyone fix that?
Thanks!

Dear
BaseGameUtils res folder is missing, please fix it, thanks!

I am starting and stopping GameHelper in the correct way.

• setup() in onCreate(),
• onStart() and onStop() methods executed in the onStart and onStop.
• onActivityResult called in onActivityResult.

I have received 3 reports in the past 2 days of the following stacktrace:

When using the GameHelper I've come across a problem when I am connected to a WiFi network that requires sign on to access the internet. This is a very simple way to test that the phone has connectivity but cannot reach the servers. This behavior could happen in the real world for a variety of reasons. One being that the GPGS servers are down, or unreachable.

When launching the app I see the "Google Play Game Services" Popup followed by a spinning "working" circle that never goes away. This blocks access to our game when this happens on start.

D/GameHelper(16101): GameHelper: onConnectionFailed
D/GameHelper(16101): GameHelper: Connection failure:
D/GameHelper(16101): GameHelper: - code: SIGN_IN_REQUIRED(4)
D/GameHelper(16101): GameHelper: - resolvable: true
D/GameHelper(16101): GameHelper: - details: ConnectionResult{statusCode=SIGN_IN_REQUIRED, resolution=PendingIntent{41e4a2b0: android.os.BinderProxy@41edf378}}
D/GameHelper(16101): GameHelper: onConnectionFailed: WILL resolve because we have below the max# of attempts, 0 < 2
D/GameHelper(16101): GameHelper: onConnectionFailed: resolving problem...
D/GameHelper(16101): GameHelper: resolveConnectionResult: trying to resolve result: ConnectionResult{statusCode=SIGN_IN_REQUIRED, resolution=PendingIntent{41e4a2b0: android.os.BinderProxy@41edf378}}
D/GameHelper(16101): GameHelper: Result has resolution. Starting it.

It appears that the helper is trying to resolve a sign in, with a sign in. However no timeout takes place with what is a reasonable period of time. I attempted to add my own timeout using Handler.postDelay() and testing if mExpectingResolution is still true. This could be used to detect the state that I mentioned, but even when I was able to force a dialog up indicating that there was a network error the spinning "working" circle remains on top of the dialogue. I tried both destroying and disconnecting GoogleApiClient, but neither got rid of the spinning "working" screen.

How would I go about flushing the screens on top of my game in this instance, or resetting the UI, or simply resetting the GoogleApiClient entirely? Either one of these would be acceptable.

Thank you!

I'm getting a weird behavior.
I have several Google accounts on my device.
I setup GameHelper in my onCreate providing a listener. in onStart I call gameHelper.onStart(activity);
So, wIth 'mConnectOnStart = true', gameHelper attempts to connect in onStart, but attempt fails firing onSignInFailed(). That resolves by showing a popup allowing to pick a Google account, but right after that I get onActivityResult called with SIGN_IN_FAILED error code. I suspect it comes from the failed attempt in onStart.

Hi
I followed the instructions to import Basegameutlis as a library and google play services.
I still can't get Eclipse to recognise BaseGameActivity

It just displays the error:
BaseGameActivity cannot be resolved to a type

Can you give clearer instructions what needs to happen to get it to work.

On ln 18 of the GameHelper

boolean mConnectOnStart = true;

This can't be right? As now my apps pop up the overlay on launch, not desired behavior at all.

I can force it to false for now, but is this the intended code?

Any chance of updating the 8BitArtist example to use the new API? It would be very useful to have for reference.

After having added BaseGameUtils to my project, and configure my gradle.settings and build.gradle, I got the following when trying to compile:

Error:(41, 44) error: package com.google.android.gms.games.request does not exist

Here is a gist to my build.gradle and gradle.settings

https://gist.github.com/jrm2k6/d940f61fbf8ad3f6c3a0

I think what happened is that documentation was written for a beta version of Android Studio. Add in the moving target they call "Gradle", and you have a mess from the standpoint of someone trying to get up and running in Google Play services. Your documentation does not work for the "out-of-the-box" situation you have today. Not your fault. Documentation is obsolete the day you roll it out. You may get better numbers, if you treated the documentation the way you do the code...

Error Log...
Failed to refresh Gradle project 'BasicSamples'
The project is using an unsupported version of the Android Gradle plug-in (0.7.3).
Version 0.9.0 introduced incompatible changes in the build language.
Please read the migration guide to learn how to update your project.

Would it be possible to get updated docs based on the new situation with Gradle and Android Studio? The current situation is very discouraging to a developer considering using these services.

Thanks.

While I understand that the effect is largely the same, it would seem to be more in line with best practices to have the GameHelper instance run as a Fragment with no View, setRetainInstance(true), and the onCreate(Bundle...) in BaseGameActivity to say something like:

mHelper = (GameHelper) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("gameHelper");

if (mHelper == null) {
    mHelper = new GameHelper();
    getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(mHelper, "gameHelper").commit();
}

The main benefits of doing this are that we don't run any risk of leaking the activity (you can use getActivity() from within the fragment) and this can technically be used across multiple Activity instances (screen rotation!). You also get the lifecycle stuff (with the exception of onActivityResult) for free without needing to proxy.

I'd be happy to do the work if this makes sense. I've already done most of it.

Google Real_time Multiplayer RoomUpdateListener is not working properly as mentioned in document . RoomUpdateListener listener call back onpeerConnected is not triggerd one by one unless and until all Max Player are not connect to room.

When the user is on a Play Activity (eg the achievements activity), closes the game and restarts the app the following exception occurs:

08-03 13:07:58.084: E/AndroidRuntime(32096): java.lang.IllegalStateException: GameHelper: operation attempted at incorrect state. Operation: connectCurrentClient. State: DISCONNECTED. Expected state: CONNECTING.

08-03 13:07:58.084: E/AndroidRuntime(32096):    at com.google.android.gms.internal.p.k(Unknown Source)

(the line numbers in the stack trace don't match exactly)

In addition to starting the Google Play Activity, the app also initiates the regular background sign in for the user.

Maybe the Helper can not deal with this "double sign in"?

I am running the very latest GameHelper class from master.

I had implemented sending gifts and requests and invoking inbox. I has tested with some friends. Some friends could send hearts to me. So I has uloaded my apk to Play. When one friend has send a request to me, my inbox has broken.
