android turn-based multiplayer custom invite screen

Question

I am trying to create a custom UI screen for the "player picker UI" that comes with google play services for turn based multiplayer. The default one can be seen here: https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/realtimeMultiplayer?hl=fr-CH#invite_players_option

That page(which is real time I know) mentions how to use the default UI and that a custom UI can be used, but does not mention the actual methods to customize the look. I'm not a fan of the huge icons, and would rather a simple list. I have been trying to research this out for a few days, and have found nothing.

I am looking for any help on which methods I need to call in order to customize. Is it done in the onActivityResult method? Has anyone had any luck doing something similar?

Thank you

It means that you can create your own UI from scratch, and interact with Google Play Services using the provided API. They do not provide a way to customize the look of the player selection UI that google provides.

Oh ok. Thank you for that clarification. So I can pull the invitee list from those APIs, and display them on my own UI? – Where

I haven't done it myself, but yes thats the general idea. I would seriously recommend against it though unless you really cant work with what they give you. – Boardman
