FR: provide way to inhibit achievement popups

[noolness]

I have my own custom achievement dialogs that come up, and I want to disable the ones this library pops up. If I can't do that, I would want to be able to use something like setGravityForPopups, so they can be shown on the bottom of the screen. I don't want them to be shown at the top of the screen because that would negatively impact gameplay. Is there any way that could be done or any way it could be added?

The plugin doesn't expose a way to do this, but it can be done by modifying the plugin code. What you want to do is call Games.setGravityForPopups right after the user signs in, probably from AndroidClient.cs

https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/games/Games.html#setGravityForPopups(com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient, int)

I was able to do it, by calling the native Java APIs directly. I think this might be a feature people commonly need though. Depending on the type of game, having an achievement on the top (rather than the bottom) could make the game unplayable. I have a workaround I used I can post here, just for other people to reference if it can't be added as a feature though.

In AndroidClient.cs, I added the following line:
mGHManager.CallGmsApi("games.Games", null, "setGravityForPopups", (int)(80 | 1));

This made it so I could display the achievements on the bottom of the screen. It's a real hack job, but it was the last thing I needed to ship my game, and it was the easiest way to make sure the position was changed. Like I said it's okay if moving the popup or hiding the popup isn't a feature. It's just that I think it's a very common thing that people want to do.

True... I'm reopening this as a feature request!
