Check for Google Play Services APK

[rleh]

Beispiel: (https://developer.android.com/google/gcm/client.html)

private final static int PLAY_SERVICES_RESOLUTION_REQUEST = 9000;
...
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    mDisplay = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.display);

    context = getApplicationContext();

    // Check device for Play Services APK.
    if (checkPlayServices()) {
        // If this check succeeds, proceed with normal processing.
        // Otherwise, prompt user to get valid Play Services APK.
        ...
    }
}

// You need to do the Play Services APK check here too.
@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    checkPlayServices();
}

/**
 * Check the device to make sure it has the Google Play Services APK. If
 * it doesn't, display a dialog that allows users to download the APK from
 * the Google Play Store or enable it in the device's system settings.
 */
private boolean checkPlayServices() {
    int resultCode = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
    if (resultCode != ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
        if (GooglePlayServicesUtil.isUserRecoverableError(resultCode)) {
            GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(resultCode, this,
                    PLAY_SERVICES_RESOLUTION_REQUEST).show();
        } else {
            Log.i(TAG, "This device is not supported.");
            finish();
        }
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

You don't HAVE to check for the presence of Google Play Services, but Google recommend that you do: http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html#ensure If you do not check, and Google Play Services is not installed, Android will prompt the user to install Google Play Services.

Es sollten folglich am beste nur die Google Location Services mittels com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:7.8.0 eingebunden werden.

Wenn GMS nicht auf dem gerät installiert ist (isGooglePlayServicesAvailable()) solle bestenfalls die AOSP Location Api verwendet werden.
