document.addEventListener('deviceready', function () {
var success = function(installedAndUpdated) {
if (installedAndUpdated.status) {
console.log('Google Play Services is installed and updated');
} else {
console.log('Showing user native update window');
}
}
var failure = function(reason) {
console.error('error: ' + reason)
}
GooglePlayServicesChecker.check(success, failure);
})Or for Ionic-v4:
import { Platform } from '@ionic/angular';
@Component({...})
export class MyPage {
constructor(public platform: Platform) {
platform.ready().then(() => {
var success = function(installedAndUpdated) {
if (installedAndUpdated.status) {
console.log('Google Play Services is installed and updated');
} else {
console.log('Showing user native update window');
}
}
var failure = function(reason) {
console.error('error: ' + reason)
}
GooglePlayServicesChecker.check(success, failure);
});
}
}Or enhanced example for Ionic-v1:
var googlePlayCheckedAndInstalled=false;
function googlePlayCheck() {
if (window.cordova && !googlePlayCheckedAndInstalled) {
var success = function (installedAndUpdated) {
console.log('Google Play Services success: ', installedAndUpdated);
if (installedAndUpdated.status) {
console.log('Google Play Services is installed and updated');
googlePlayCheckedAndInstalled = true;
} else {
console.log('Trying to show user native update window');
}
}
var failure = function (reason) {
console.error('Google Play Services error: ' + reason)
}
GooglePlayServicesChecker.check(success, failure);
}
}
googlePlayCheck();
$ionicPlatform.on('resume', function () {
googlePlayCheck();
});
