Android: java.lang.IllegalStateException: GoogleApiClient must be connected

Question

I am integrating Google Plus in my android app when I was trying to sign in to Google Plus my app just crashed. It says -

java.lang.IllegalStateException: GoogleApiClient must be connected

Below is the line number which stacktrace points towards,

if (Plus.AccountApi.getAccountName(mGoogleApiClient) != null)

@Override
    public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
        String personName = "Unknown";
        if (Plus.AccountApi.getAccountName(mGoogleApiClient) != null) {
            personName = Plus.AccountApi.getAccountName(mGoogleApiClient); 
        }
}

I have done all steps for integration, added Google play services to my project and registered my app on Google API's site.

First check if it is connected, then do your stuff.

GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
if(mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()){
  // good
}else{
  //connect it
  mGoogleApiClient.connect(GoogleApiClient.SIGN_IN_MODE_OPTIONAL);
}

Anyways, modify your code to:

@Override
    public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
        String personName = "Unknown";
        if (isSignedIn()) {
          if (Plus.AccountApi.getAccountName(mGoogleApiClient) != null) {
            personName = Plus.AccountApi.getAccountName(mGoogleApiClient); 
          }
        }
}
