Getting a unique User ID about gdx-gamesvcs

[MrStahlfelge]

I didn't have the need for this and the usefulness in practice is a bit limited because not all users on a platform will use a game service. So you'll need a fallback mechanism anyway, and if you have it, you can use that one in any case.

But if it is important for you, I am open and accepting PRs.

Edit: I missed the part of your comment where you already solved your issue :). Carry on 👍

One quick way around this is to extend the GpgsClient and directly access the Google Api Client:

public class CustomGpgsClient extends GpgsClient {
    public GoogleApiClient getGoogleApiClient() {
        return mGoogleApiClient;
    }
}

Then elsewhere in your code (Mine below is in the listener) you can access the Player object manually via the google api client:

@Override
public void gsOnSessionActive() {

  LOGGER.info("Player: {}",gamesClient.getPlayerDisplayName());
  LOGGER.info("serviceid: {}",gamesClient.getGameServiceId());
  
//get google player object
 Player gpgPlayer = Games.Players.getCurrentPlayer(gamesClient.getGoogleApiClient());
  
//access google specific props
  LOGGER.info("details: {}",gpgPlayer.getPlayerId());
  LOGGER.info("details: {}",gpgPlayer.getName());
  LOGGER.info("details: {}",gpgPlayer.getBannerImageLandscapeUri());
  LOGGER.info("details: {}",gpgPlayer.getBannerImagePortraitUri());
  LOGGER.info("details: {}",gpgPlayer.getIconImageUri());
}

Obviously this is specific to the google api, so you'll have to handle skipping it if youre using multiple, or coming up with your own interface for it.
