# Overview

Google Play Services is required by application developers to access Google service APIs such as Google Maps, Google Analytics, Firebase, etc.

Add the module as a dependency to your application by adding a <module> item to the <modules> element of your tiapp.xml file:

<ti:app>
  <!-- ... -->
  <modules>
    <module platform="android">ti.playservices</module>
  </modules>
  <!-- ... -->
</ti:app>

Or include the module as a dependency to a native module by adding a <module> item to the <modules> element of your timodule.xml file:

<ti:module>
  <!-- ... -->
  <modules>
    <module platform="android">ti.playservices</module>
  </modules>
  <!-- ... -->
</ti:module>

Use require() to access the module from JavaScript:

var PlayServices = require('ti.playservices');

The PlayServices variable is a reference to the module. Make API calls using this reference:

var playServicesAvailable = PlayServices.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable();
