How to check Google Play services version?

Question

In my application, I need to check Google Play services version (which is installed in user\'s device). Is it possible ? And if yes, how can I do that? I searched Google but

Answer 1

int apkVersion = GoogleApiAvailability.getInstance().getApkVersion(getContext());

will get the same result as:

int v = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(GoogleApiAvailability.GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_PACKAGE, 0 ).versionCode;

But the second one needs to be put inside a try-catch.
