public GoogleApiClient.Builder addConnectionCallbacks (GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks listener)

Registers a listener to receive connection events from this GoogleApiClient. Applications should balance calls to this method with calls to unregisterConnectionCallbacks(ConnectionCallbacks) to avoid leaking resources.

If the specified listener is already registered to receive connection events, this method will not add a duplicate entry for the same listener.

Parameters
listener the listener where the results of the asynchronous connect() call are delivered.

public GoogleApiClient.Builder addOnConnectionFailedListener (GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener listener)

Adds a listener to register to receive connection failed events from this GoogleApiClient. Applications should balance calls to this method with calls to unregisterConnectionFailedListener(OnConnectionFailedListener) to avoid leaking resources.

If the specified listener is already registered to receive connection failed events, this method will not add a duplicate entry for the same listener.

Note that the order of messages received here may not be stable, so clients should not rely on the order that multiple listeners receive events in.

Parameters
listener the listener where the results of the asynchronous connect() call are delivered.

public GoogleApiClient.Builder addScope (Scope scope)

Specify the OAuth 2.0 scopes requested by your app. See Scopes for more information.
