GooglePlayServicesUtil vs GoogleApiAvailability

Question

I am trying to use Google Play Service in my Android app. As Google document says, we need to check if the Google API is available before using it. I have searched some way

Answer 1

You will have to use GoogleApiAvailability instead:

GoogleApiAvailability googleApiAvailability = GoogleApiAvailability.getInstance(); 
int errorCode = googleApiAvailability.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);

this represents the context.
