how do I disable google play auto login in game maker?

Question

Am using google play services in my gamemaker studio game, I noticed that if a player isn't signed in to google play the game will keep asking for a sign in after showing interstitial ads or even when screen is locked and unlocked. I want the sign in popup to show only when user taps the right button. How do I stop the auto login popup? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Try this: Go to 'YourGame.gmx > extensions > GooglePlayServicesExtension > AndroidSource > Java' where "YourGame.gmx" is your project file. Now open GooglePlayServicesExtension.java with Notepad or any other text editing software. Find this chunk of code:

@Override
public void onStart() 
{
    Log.i("yoyo","googleplayservices extension onStart called");
    //super.onStart();
    if (mGoogleApiClient != null) 
        mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}

Now comment the if statement and the line of code inside it. So change it to this:

@Override
public void onStart() 
{
    Log.i("yoyo","googleplayservices extension onStart called");
    //super.onStart();
    //if (mGoogleApiClient != null) 
        //mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}

Now save it (Ctrl + S). This disables auto login to Google Play Services at the start of your game or to be more precise whenever onStart() is called. Hope it helps for your situation.
