Google Play Multiplayer Room not Creating - google-play-services

Question

I have trying to follow the ButtonClicker example. My main activity extends AndroidApplication because I am working with libgdx but I cannot seem to create the room. The code stops after I call "Games.RealTimeMultiplayer.create(getApiClient(), roomBuilder.build())"
I think my problem is somewhere with the getApiClient()
Would love some help understanding what am I doing wrong
See code:
in my OnCreate()
mHelper = new GameHelper(this, 2);
When I use anything else other than 2 for the 2nd param the game does not even load
protected GoogleApiClient getApiClient() {
Log.d(TAG, "getApiClient() " + mHelper.getApiClient());
return mHelper.getApiClient();
}
calling quick game
private void startQuickGame(){
Log.d(TAG, "StartQuickGame()");
//1st param is Minimum players, 2nd param is maximum and 3rd is exclusivebitmask???
Bundle am = RoomConfig.createAutoMatchCriteria(1, 4, 0);
RoomConfig.Builder roomBuilder = RoomConfig.builder(this);
roomBuilder.setMessageReceivedListener(this);
roomBuilder.setRoomStatusUpdateListener(this);
roomBuilder.setAutoMatchCriteria(am);
Games.RealTimeMultiplayer.create(getApiClient(), roomBuilder.build());
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
Log.d(TAG, " startQuickGame()" + "createRoom called");
}
I tried creating the Game Helper object using "GameHelper.CLIENT_ALL" and I got the following error:
