hi i am trying to implement this using a UPL


 public int AndroidThunkJava_GetPlayerLeaderBoardPosition()
      {
      if(googleClient==null)
      return -2;

      String leaderboardId="CgkI0suKm7APEAIQBQ";

      Games.Leaderboards.loadCurrentPlayerLeaderboardScore(googleClient, leaderboardId, LeaderboardVariant.TIME_SPAN_WEEKLY, LeaderboardVariant.COLLECTION_PUBLIC).setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<Leaderboards.LoadPlayerScoreResult>() {
      @Override
      public void onResult(Leaderboards.LoadPlayerScoreResult loadPlayerScoreResult) {
      if (loadPlayerScoreResult != null && loadPlayerScoreResult.getScore() != null) {
      return  loadPlayerScoreResult.getScore().getRank();


      }
      }
      });

      return -1;

      }

so i want to get the ranking number on leaderboard for the player. But everytime i try to compile i get
package Leaderboards does not exist


Y:\src\com\epicgames\ue4\GameActivity.java:82: error: cannot find symbol
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (All)): UnrealBuildTool:     [javac] import com.google.android.gms.games.leaderboard;

so i dont know what library add and where
i tried this on UPL


  <gameActivityImportAdditions>
    <insert>
      import com.google.android.gms.*;
      com.google.android.gms.games.leaderboard
      import com.google.android.gms.games.snapshot.*;
    </insert>
  </gameActivityImportAdditions>

but show a missing symbol error on games.leaderboard
so the dics say something about gradle but unreal is not using it
so how can i achieve it?

I’m assuming the com.google.android.gms.games.leaderboard line in the UPL is a typo? You left out the import and ; at the end.

We use the Google Play Games C++ library instead of Java.

it is a typo as you can see on the build i have the corrected version

the problem is that com.google.android.gms.games.leaderboard requires BasegameUtils

and that is a set of java files that lives on github (google play services examples)

so if you are using C++ version for leaderboards, could you guide me how can I get Ranking position of the player in the google leaderboard?

sorry i fixed my last post

Really? the staff just came here to say “it’s a typo?”

Ok, you’ll need to download the library from https://github.com/playgameservices/android-basic-samples/tree/master/BasicSamples/libraries/BaseGameUtils. Make a directory BaseGamesUtils you can copy with UPL prebuildCopies step. Put the contents of src/main in this directory and rename java to src. Add a project.properties file with:


target=android-19
android.library=true

have UPL add this to your manifest in androidManifestUpdates:


<application>
        <meta-data android:name="unityplayer.ForwardNativeEventsToDalvik" android:value="true" />
</application>

with this:


		<setElement result="forward" value="meta-data"/>
		<addAttribute tag="$forward" name="android:name" value="unityplayer.ForwardNativeEventsToDalvik"/>
		<addAttribute tag="$forward" name="android:value" value="true"/>
		<addElement tag="application" name="forward"/>

4.17 will have experimental Gradle support which makes this easier.
