Google Play Games achievement unlocked popup not showing

Question

I'm unlocking achievement using this simple method from developers docs:

Games.Achievements.unlock(getApiClient(), "my_achievement_id");

Achievement unlocks, but no popup shows up. There is also no popup when logged in to Google Play Games - which is connected.

Just add a view to the layouts you want to display achievements on like this:

<FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/gps_popup"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp" />

When you have your layout ready you neet to execute this inside your Activity or Fragment:

Games.setViewForPopups(getApiClient(), findViewById(R.id.gps_popup));

You have to be sure, that your GoogleApiClient is connected though, otherwise your app will crash.

Does the GoogleApiClient actually have to be connected? What if it's properly instantiated but not actually connected? I don't see why being connected should have any impact on setting a view. – Tosen Apr 21 '15 at 13:05

        android:id="@+id/gps_popup"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp" />

This is the same in Jacek Kwiecień answer

GamesClient gamesClient = Games.getGamesClient(MainActivity.this, GoogleSignIn.getLastSignedInAccount(context));
gamesClient.setViewForPopups(findViewById(R.id.gps_popup));

This changed because setViewForPopups with 2 parameters is deprecated.

Jacek and user3782779 answers didn't work for me, I had to do the following:

GamesClient gamesClient = Games.getGamesClient(this, GoogleSignIn.getLastSignedInAccount(this));
gamesClient.setViewForPopups(findViewById(android.R.id.content));
gamesClient.setGravityForPopups(Gravity.TOP | Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);

Had the same problem. I have solved it by adding icon to the achievement. I am not kidding, it is really strange but it started to work after that. Please note that I am talking about not published project, I was just testing my app and wondering what is going on.

The ONLY view that worked for my case of having multiple activities was:

activity.window.decorView.findViewById(android.R.id.content)

I had the same problem with the achievement popup. The "Welcome Back" popup was showing correctly by just using my own View, but once I started opening other screens where I wanted to show the achievement unlocked popup, it was not working. The only thing that ended up working was using the content view from the decorView

val gamesClient = Games.getGamesClient(activity, googleSignInAccount)
gamesClient.setGravityForPopups(Gravity.TOP or Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL)
gamesClient.setViewForPopups(activity.window.decorView.findViewById(android.R.id.content))

You can call this code from any new activity you open and the pop-up will show up there as soon as you unlock your achievements.
