Android Question
Initializing Games Client in Android
I'm trying the new Google Play Game Services.
At first I followed this howto https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/quickstart
and then finished this https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/init
I end up like this:
05-16 20:01:39.034: E/AndroidRuntime(18257): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
05-16 20:01:39.034: E/AndroidRuntime(18257): java.lang.IllegalStateException: A fatal developer error has occurred. Check the logs for further information.

I've tried to follow the tutorial step by step. I don't understand what is going wrong.
ava.lang.IllegalStateException: A fatal developer error has occurred. Check the logs for further information.
I thought that logcat = logs and there is nothing more. So where can I find these "logs"?
My implementation is different only in one thing. I have a ClassA which extends BaseGameActivity and then ClassB which extends ClassA and implements View.OnClickListener
So I have all methods from https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/init in class ClassB
Thanks for any help

I had the same problem initially. What I had to do was look at the full, unfiltered LogCat log. There, I saw the message:
GamesIntentService(17929): Using Google Play games services requires a metadata tag with the name "com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID" in the application tag of your manifest
So, assuming you created an entry in your strings.xml called app_id, try adding the following to your AndroidManifest.xml under the <application> tag:
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID"
android:value="@string/app_id" />
You can find your APP_ID in the Games Services tab
