Check Google Play Services Availability​

This extension requires the use of Google Play Services.

You should use the GoogleApiAvailability helper in the com.distriqt.playservices.Base ANE. The documentation for this class is available in the Google Play Services wiki.

For example:

import com.distriqt.extension.playservices.base.ConnectionResult;
import com.distriqt.extension.playservices.base.GoogleApiAvailability;
var result:int = GoogleApiAvailability.instance.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable();
if (result != ConnectionResult.SUCCESS)
{
    if (GoogleApiAvailability.instance.isUserRecoverableError( result ))
    {
        GoogleApiAvailability.instance.showErrorDialog( result );
    }
    else
    {
        trace( "Google Play Services aren't available on this device" );
    }
}
else
{
    trace( "Google Play Services are Available" );
}

If Google Play Services aren't available then you won't be able to use the functionality in this extension.
