status code indicating whether there was an error. Can be one of following in ConnectionResult: SUCCESS, SERVICE_MISSING, SERVICE_VERSION_UPDATE_REQUIRED, SERVICE_DISABLED, SERVICE_INVALID.
To check against what was returned, use something like:
int status = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getApplicationContext());
if(status == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
//Success! Do what you want
}

Solution 3
Simply
int statusCode = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getApplicationContext());
if (statusCode == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
//OK
}
Solution 4
int state = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
if (state == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
Toast.makeText(this, "SUCCESS", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//goAhead();
} else {
Dialog dialog = GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(state, this, -1);
dialog.show();
}

this method keep returning 0. According to the developer docs this method should return something like SUCCES if the device got the newest version of google play. Does anybody know how to use this?
@Override public void onResume() { super.onResume(); GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getApplicationContext()); System.out.println("henkie: " + GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getApplicationContext())); }
