Google+ Login with Play Services 6.5.87 (GoogleApiClient) - Android

Question

In Play Services 6.1.71 I was using:

mPlusClient = new PlusClient.Builder(this,this,this).setActions("http://schemas.google.com/AddActivity", "http://schemas.google.com/BuyActivity").setScopes(Scopes.PLUS_LOGIN, Scopes.PROFILE).build();

But in Google Play Services 6.5.87, Google suggest to change PlusClient to GoogleApiClient.Builder instead. But I'm not able to get user info as before:

mPlusClient.getAccountName() 

or

mPlusClient.getCurrentPerson()

How can I retrieve the user info? I think Google documentation is out of date. Hope you can help me. Thank you.

Use GoogleApiClient, not PlusClient. Sample:

mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(mContext)
            .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
            .addApi(Plus.API)
            .addScope(Plus.SCOPE_PLUS_LOGIN)
            .build();

To getAccountName() use Plus.AccountApi.getAccountName(mGoogleApiClient)

To getCurrentPerson() use Plus.PeopleApi.getCurrentPerson(mGoogleApiClient)
