I am developing an application and using Mobile Vision Api for text recognizing.I noticed that its not working in some devices.After searched I understand that one reason is because of google play service version that is installed on device.So how can I check the google play service version that is installed on user device? And what is the minimum google play service version that this api could work?

  • Did my answer provide what you're looking for in this question? – ReyAnthonyRenacia Apr 05 '17 at 09:14
  • OP asked for a way to check the PlayServices version on a user's device.Your answer should leave out the manual check. Also, the "minimum Android version" is not what he's looking for. It's the "minimum PlayServices version" – wsgeorge Oct 24 '17 at 10:12

You can use this for checking version

GoogleApiAvailability.GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION_CODE

I think, first you should check, if service is available ?

public int isGooglePlayServicesAvailable (Context context)

How to know GPS version of your phone?

If manually, go to Settings > Applications > Google Play Services.

If programatically, follow the answer in this SO thread:

int v = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo("com.google.android.gms", 0 ).versionCode;

What is the minimum google play service version for this API?

Minimum Android version required is Android 2.3 (Gingerbread).
