I am working on one Android application which needs the gaming center like an apple game center . Does Android provide any game center like apple game center?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Center

And if so:

  • is it an opensource or paid one?
  • What are the limitations of this one as compared to apple game center?
  • or what are the feature's of it as compared with apple game center?
  • which devices supports game center of android?

I am working on one application in which i want to share my application with more than one user at a time at a same time. (say multi player game). Apple game store provides facility for multiplayer game i want this kind of facility in android.

In case you want a ready-made leaderboard solution, you could take a look at OpenFeint and similar solutions. Update 2/6 2013: Since OpenFeint being discontinued, I'd recommend its successor GREE. They have shared leaderboards between Android and iPhone too. It's not open source, but it's free. You should look at their support site for limitations. This post looks at OpenFeint compared to Game Center.
