  • for now you can use compile('com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.+@aar') , it supports this method. – Usman Rana Jan 09 '17 at 13:16

In the below getToken method, I think you are passing accountName which is a string value.

String  token = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(loginActivity, accountName, scopes);
String token = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(loginActivity, accountName, scopes, null);

thus it will still return deprecated method getToken.

converting string into account before passing as mentioned below will help`:

Account accountDetails = new Account(accountName, GoogleAuthUtil.GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE);

String  token = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(loginActivity, accountDetails, scopes);

Hope this helps.
