    <category android:name="eu.andlabs.lounge" />
  </intent-filter>

  This activity will be started once players joined for a game

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"/>

  for authentication and

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

  for internet access.

• start, bind and unbind the GCP backround service

  @Override
  protected void onStart() { mLounge = GCPService.bind(this); }
  
  @Override
  protected void onStop() { GCPService.unbind(this, mLounge); }

• send game messages

  Bundle data = new Bundle();
  data.putString("foo", "bar");
  mLounge.sendGameMessage(data)

• receive game messages

  mLounge.register(new GameMsgListener() {                
    @Override
    public void onMessageRecieved(Bundle msg) {
      msg.getString("foo") // returns "bar"
    }
  });

  Currently only String data is supported
