how to create a snapshot in android google play services

I know this question may seem basic , but I literally have no idea how to actually create a snapshot and I didn't find any documentation in Google play services on how to do it. Please excuse & tell me if I unacknowledged or missed something
You have probably already seen this: https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/savedgames it doesn't give a complete picture, but this sample code by Google should help you: https://github.com/gguuss/android-basic-samples/tree/master/BasicSamples/CollectAllTheStars2
It goes through a complete game, that saves and retrieves snapshots using Google Play Games Services.

How to make Android Multiplayer Games using Facebook friends? (Google Play Game Services uses G+ only)

At the risk of this question being marked 'research' or 'too broad', I am placing this question here with the research I have done so far (to count as background work), especially since I have been researching this for a while but have not found a good turnkey solution. thank you for your inputs!
I want to make Turn Based Multiplayer Game. I found Google Play Game Services but that only works with Google+ Login: https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/turnbasedMultiplayer
How do I do the same with Facebook login? Can Google Play Game Services be used with Facebook friends?
In my research, the other option I found is nextpeer.com, but not sure if they can do a turn by turn based. I think i have to send player to player messages directly to achieve the turn based player, dont want to do that.
EDIT: After I posted the question, i found Android Games Tutorial with Facebook SDK - trying to understand if turn based game can be done using Facebook SDK.
Can it?
Disclaimer: I am a Nextpeer employee.
Hi,
Nextpeer does not offer a turn based solution at the moment. However, we do have an asynchronous gaming mode in our Facebook matches mode. In this mode players can either play synchronously together or asynchronously. In the second case, a player can play and the recording of his gameplay will be played to his opponents when they choose to play. Does this answer your need?
I'll be glad to discuss further privately, just email us at support#nextpeer.com and ask to talk to Dror.
I have been looking for a solution on similar lines aswell, and I guess we have a solution that can be helpful for others as well. Just looking forward to integrate it. You can find the required documentation here

Android Google Drive integration

I need to upload an file from android device SDCARD onto google cloud, I google long time on internet,but I couldn't found correct version of Api to achieve file share over cloud. Help me with sample code to login and share files over cloud with right api.
I have no experience of this, but there does seem to be some documentation here:
https://developers.google.com/drive/get-started
Have you already looked through this?
EDIT: That appears to be for Chrome apps. There is a similar question here: Android API for Google Drive?
It looks like the short answer is the solution is a long one (people have mentioned having to do it manually :( )

Does Google Drive integrate with Android through code?

I have spent some hours searching for Android phone integrations with Google Drive through code. But I am not able to figure it out. I want to make a app in which when I press a button, my specific file is uploaded and stored in Google Drive.
Currently, GoogleDrive is not integrated with Android. However, this is something they are working on and say it will be here "soon". The services theyre working on is called Google Play Services.
You can also currently use the java client library to accomplish what you need for now.
Just a warning, there aren't many great examples out there so its somewhat difficult to figure out.

How do I utilize Android Google Map Capabilities?

Okay guys, I am developing an app on Android that uses the Google API to display a map on the screen. I have simple overlays that will display the location of Contacts that the user decides to track. I already know how to use the Mapping and retrieve my own location, but I need to know the best way to get other Users locations.
With the release of Google Latitude's API, this functionality was supposed to be made easy. I cannot find any tutorials or anything on how to implement the API.
Please: If you know any Tutorials or anything of the sort to teach me this, please let me know. Also, if this is not the most efficient way to go about this let me know.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Specs: Eclipse Galileo, Android SDK, Android APIs and Google API
Isn't this what the Google Latitude App already does?
http://www.google.com/latitude/intro.html
There are also some docs here: http://code.google.com/apis/latitude/v1/getting_started.html
Personally, I'd start by experimenting with the REST API outside of Android to get a sense of how it works.
