Google Game Service integration?

Quote from Shabadage

Thank you for the simple examples. I'm working on an open source for the clickstore that's more real world example game.

Great Shabadage!!!😉

I was hoping to get this up last night, but having a couple of issues that I need a few hours to work through. It's a single frame game, very very simple. You'll login, at the end of the round you score can be submitted to the leaderboards and there are achievements. Should be enough to get anyone up and started. Hopefully tonight or (more likely) tomorrow.

here's the testing link. Doesn't work for me, maybe it works for you.

Please login to see this link.

Was easy to implement all what you add to your game?

I will test later and let you know.

I'm trying to use the leader boards, but I am getting an error in the app when 'Display Leaderbord UI' action is triggered.
Error message: "Unknown issue with Google Play services"

I did look through "Avoiding common setup problems" in the help file. I think I've got it all covered.

- I did get the chance to log in to Google Play from within the app, the GDP connector seems to be working fine and has a connection with my app.
- I have installed 'Google Play services' and 'Google Repositories' from the SDK manager
- I am using Build API 14. Target and Minimum is set to 2.3.
- I believe I've registered everything correctly in the Developer console. It says "The Google Play game services settings are ready to test"

Any ideas?

I've gotten that error a few times as well, I just assumed it was because I'm using a Fire Phone with GPG kind of sideloaded.

I am using a rather low tech samsung galaxy device (YP-G70CW), but google play leaderboards seems to be working fine in other apps.

Can you try my link above and tell me where it fails for you? It worked the first time, but now it's crashing everytime. You need to click the tiny button.

You have to set the leaderboard ID before trying to show it. The ID of your leaderboard(s) can be found in the Google Developer Console.

Shabadage, I tried your app. I can successfully log in, but I am getting the "Unknown issue with Google Play services" error message when I press that tiny button.

Oliver, yeah I am setting the ID before I try to show the leaderboard.

Some other things that may cause an issue.

The GPG Connect object must be present in the frame so that the other Google Play Games objects operate.
Make sure that the Application ID property of the GPG Connect object is filled at any time so that the other Google Play Games objects operate.
The local player must be connected to his account so that the Google Play Games objects operate.

Yeah, all that should be OK.

Here's my setup. I've cleared some of the ID's and removed the key name and password, don't know how sensitive that information is.

you not need to set the leaderboard Id all time, but sure you need some protection to be sure that your are login

I didn't try to compile your project, but to set the leaderboard ID a simple event like below is enough:

• Start of frame
- GPG Leaderboard: Set leaderboard ID to "Cgk***************"

Also I wonder if using a higher version for the build API would help.

me too I am getting this reply when try to use your game.

I'll download Willy's example when I get home to see what we've done different. Any permissions I've missed maybe?

no permissions require, unless you want to download the icon and of course you will need INTERNET permission to work.

willy: please use a bigger api to build like 22, 21, 19 until 17 and don't set min to 2.3 minimum need to be 2.3.1 (api 9)

I am now using build API 21, have set minimum to 2.3.3 and target to 5.0. Still having some issues. I think the local player is not being authenticated.
Should I use a particular android build. I am using this beta: Please login to see this link.

Yeah, I'm still having issues even getting logged in. It worked once, then never again.

Is that the "unknown error" by any chance? Because that happened to me and I could only fix it by deleting my Play Games project in the google dev console, and setting up a new one again.

That's the one. Did you have to delete the whole project or just the play services?
