How can I get my own Participant ID in a TurnBasedMatch?

Question

I know I can obtain all Participants with TurnBasedMatch.getParticipants(), and I know I can get the player's Participant id by TurnBasedMatch.getPendingParticipantId() when it is the player's turn, but how can I get the Participant object or id if it isn't the player's turn? I could of course save it locally when it is my turn and read it later, but is there a better way?

Answer 1

public String myParticipantID(){
    return match.getParticipantId(Games.Players.getCurrentPlayer(gac).getPlayerId());
}

Where gac is your GoogleApiClient object

Answer 2

Me and my friend developed a Chess game using this, he used java to Android and I used objective-c to iOS, he did like this to get the player:

Games.Players.getCurrentPlayer(getApiClient())

then you can get the playerID or participantID through the player...
