title: Deprecated Plus.PeopleApi.load
body: <p>Now that <code>Plus.API</code> is deprecated in <a href="https://developers.google.com/android/guides/releases" rel="nofollow"><code>Google Play Services 9.4</code></a>, what is correct way to get <em>Google Plus circles</em> for authenticated user on Android Application? </p>
  
  <p>Now We have deprecated method of loading plus users <a href="https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/plus/People.html#load(com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient,%20java.util.Collection%3Cjava.lang.String%3E)" rel="nofollow">Plus.PeopleApi.load</a></p>
  
  <p>New documentation says: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>If your app needs social information and more extensive profile data,
    check out the Android Contacts Provider or the cross-platform People
    API.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So I should go with <em>Android Contacts Provider</em> that seems to be a hard alternative (Because I have to filter contacts with cursors and also manage Runtime Permissions).</p>
  
  <p>Any easy alternatives of <em>previous deprecated method</em> to just get List of G+ circles for user?</p>
