Checking for google play services

It drives me crazy how important documentation is often overlooked in the google docs. I would have plucked out my hair if I wasn't bald already. 

private void checkGooglePlayServices() {
  int errorCode = GoogleApiAvailability.getInstance().isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
  boolean isErrorResolvable = GoogleApiAvailability.getInstance().isUserResolvableError(errorCode);

  if (isErrorResolvable) {
     GoogleApiAvailability.getInstance().getErrorDialog(this, errorCode, REQUEST_CODE_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES).show();
  } else {
     if (errorCode == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
        launchApplication();
     }
  }
}

The above code displays a Dialog box which says has a button reading get google play services:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
  super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
  if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES) {

  }
}

now what should I do here ? How should I direct the user to the play store to get an update for the playservices? I deem getErrorResolutionPendingIntent to be of use here, but I am not sure how to go about this.

please aid me.

You can use this code to open Google Play Service Page on App Store:

try {
  startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + GoogleApiAvailability.GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_PACKAGE)));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
  startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + GoogleApiAvailability.GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_PACKAGE)));
}

You can check Google Play Service with this:

if (checkPlayServices()) {
    // Do your calculation here.
}

private boolean checkPlayServices() {
    GoogleApiAvailability apiAvailability = GoogleApiAvailability.getInstance();
    int resultCode = apiAvailability.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
    if (resultCode != ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
        if (apiAvailability.isUserResolvableError(resultCode)) {
            apiAvailability.getErrorDialog(this, resultCode, PLAY_SERVICES_RESOLUTION_REQUEST)
                    .show();
        } else {
            Log.i(TAG, "This device is not supported.");
            finish();
        }
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

This will help you to check Google Play Service.
