Get person details in new google sign in Play Services 8.3

Question

I\'m trying to get a user\'s profile using the new Google Sign In API introduced in play services 8.3. Other than Display Name, Email and Id, I also need user\'s gender.

UPDATE: based on @Isabella Chen's comments below, for who does not want to use getCurrentPerson which is marked deprecated, you can start using Google People API instead, you can also see my another answer at the following S.O question:

IMO, you can refer to the following code:

        // [START configure_signin]
        // Configure sign-in to request the user's ID, email address, and basic
        // profile. ID and basic profile are included in DEFAULT_SIGN_IN.
        // FOR PROFILE PICTURE:
        // Ref: https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/auth/api/signin/GoogleSignInAccount.html#getPhotoUrl%28%29
        // getPhotoUrl(): Gets the photo url of the signed in user.
        // Only non-null if requestProfile() is configured and user does have a Google+ profile picture.
        GoogleSignInOptions gso = new GoogleSignInOptions.Builder(GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_SIGN_IN)
                .requestScopes(new Scope(Scopes.PROFILE))
                .requestScopes(new Scope(Scopes.PLUS_LOGIN))
                .requestProfile()
                .requestEmail()
                .build();
        // [END configure_signin]

        // [START build_client]
        // Build a GoogleApiClient with access to the Google Sign-In API and the
        // options specified by gso.
        mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
                .enableAutoManage(this /* FragmentActivity */, this /* OnConnectionFailedListener */)
                .addApi(Auth.GOOGLE_SIGN_IN_API, gso)
                .addApi(Plus.API)
                .build();
        // [END build_client]

Then:

@Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        // Result returned from launching the Intent from GoogleSignInApi.getSignInIntent(...);
        if (requestCode == RC_SIGN_IN) {
            GoogleSignInResult result = Auth.GoogleSignInApi.getSignInResultFromIntent(data);
            handleSignInResult(result);

            Person person  = Plus.PeopleApi.getCurrentPerson(mGoogleApiClient);            
            Log.i(TAG, "Gender: " + person.getGender());
        }
    }

Logcat info:

Hope this helps!
