Show specific Google Play Leaderboard

I am using Google Play Game Services and my app has a single leaderboard which is populating correctly. When I display the leaderboard using:

gameNetwork.show( “leaderboards” )

This takes me to the leaderboard selection screen which has a single entry that the user has to select to see the scores.

Is there any way of directly displaying a specific leaderboard using the leaderboard ID (in much the same way as when posting a new score) or is this not supported?

Thanks for any help!

Not that I’m aware of.

The  .show() functions show the service’s native dialogs and you get what they give you.  If you need a custom solution, you can use the .request() feature to fetch the scores and create your own high score display.

Thanks Rob,

Thought this was the case although it does appear that the native API does support displaying a specific board. Maybe in a future release!

Actually for Apple’s GameCenter you can do this:

gameNetwork.show( “leaderboards”, { leaderboard = {category=“com.appledts.GKTapper.aggregate”, timeScope=“Week”}, listener=dismissCallback } )

Our GPGS plugin, however does not support this.  Engineering is investigating, but no promises.

Yeah this would be really helpful and should not  be complicated task.

This feature would be appreciate, other Android games can do it.

I think this is a MUST for game services. It is a less than optimal user experience for the user to open the leaderboards and try to figure out which one they just scored in. It is a matter of corona adding a couple parameters so this seems like a no brainer!
