}

The error is :

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient.isConnected()' on a null object reference

Add the below code before calling !mGoogleApiClient.isConnected().

Because you have not initialized it yet and you are calling a method on it.

mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
