Google Plus Integration with Android App

Question

With help from the google documentation, I'm trying to implement a 'Google Sign In' integration. I have done everything from creating the developer console project, pasted in the SHA1 code, and downloaded the google-services.json and put this into my project.

When i click on the sign in button, the screen flashes quickly and then nothing really happens.

Viewing the logcat, all it says is

05-02 20:15:58.433 18625-18625/com.listcoapps.ukeen D/SignInActivity: handleSignInResult:false
05-02 20:15:58.434 18625-18625/com.listcoapps.ukeen I/System.out: Status{statusCode=INTERNAL_ERROR, resolution=null}

My code is solely based off the google developer documentation.

I really can't work out why this isn't working and some expert knowledge would really help! Thank you.

By integrating google plus login in your apps, you can get all the user details in one shot. Not only login, you can do other things like posting to their g+ account, getting list of circles, friends list and lot more. The major advantage of integrating G+ login is, you can drive more users to your app by providing quicker & easiest way of registration process.
