Getting player ID after logging in to Google Play Game Services


I am able to log in using helper classes from BaseGameUtils: https://github.com/playgameservices/android-basic-samples/tree/master/BasicSamples/libraries/BaseGameUtils/src/main/java/com/google/example/games/basegameutils

How can I get the ID of the player just logged in?

gameHelper.setConnectOnStart(false);
gameHelper.setMaxAutoSignInAttempts(0);
gameHelper.setup(gameHelperListener);    
final GameHelper.GameHelperListener gameHelperListener = new GameHelper.GameHelperListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSignInFailed() {
    }

    @Override
    public void onSignInSucceeded() {
        // I want to get the player ID here
    } 
};

Login code:

try {
    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            gameHelper.beginUserInitiatedSignIn();
        }
    });
} catch (Exception e) {
}
