Error You Already Own This Item - android

I have a new android app in which I am adding in-app billing and I am tearing my hair out with frustration.
I have uploaded a signed APK and published to alpha. I created a set of in-app products and activated them all. I have created a new gmail account and defined them as a tester for the app on the app apk page.
I have factory reset my android phone and initialised it with the new gmail account. I have entered the /apps/testing link in to chrome and signed up as a tester. I then downloaded and installed my app. Inside my app I asked for the in app products that were available and was shown the set i created above. I selected one to buy and went through the following purchase process.
1. Screen shows product to be purchased and price and requests press continue which i do
2. Screen shows payment methods and I select redeem code
3. Screen shows redeem your code and I enter one of the promotion codes I set up in the developer console earlier (not mentioned above - sorry) and press redeem
4. Screen shows product again, this time with price crossed out and offers option to add item which I select (very strange being asked to add again buy hey ho)
5. Screen shows item added
6. After a fews seconds screen shows Error you already own this item.
How can this be, this user did not exist before ten minutes ago and has only used this app once as described above.
I have seen many questions in stack overflow and elsewhere similar to this and tried everything, clearing google play store cache, clearing google play store data etc. This sequence described above is my latest attempt with a completely clean user on a completely clean phone.
I could upload my app code used but that misses the point, which is how can this gmail account already own an item when this gmail account have never purchased anything before from anyone. Surely this is a bug.
All clues very welcome as to how to proceed. Code now added, note this is a hybrid android app, with the user purchase decisions code in javascript/html and the in app actions in the wrapper code below
private void processCommand(JSONObject commandJSON) throws JSONException
{
String command = commandJSON.getString("method");
if ("GetInAppProducts".equals(command))

{
#Override
public void onReceiveValue(String s)
{
Log.d(TAG, "Returned from InAppProductPurchased:");
}
}
);
}
}
};

I have found that this error does not occur when using paypal (i.e. real money) to make the purchase, so I believe that this "Error you already own this item" message is in some way connected to using a promotion code for the test. And (so far) my paypal account has not been charged (as I am a resgistered tester for the app).

Android InAppBilling getSkuDetails returns null

I've been working on IAB V3, and have been having trouble, when trying to get the sku details off the store. After cheking for result failure of the inventory query, I try to get the details with inv.getSkuDetails(MODULE).getPrice(); This always returns null, and when debugging I can see that the inventory object is empty.
However These requests always return null.
I am aware that google requires you to upload an apk to the alpha release channel (and release it) and have the InAppPurchase active (I also gave the store a few days to take over the changes). To test I used the same APK as uploaded to the alpha channel.
The IabHelper obviously managed to connect to the right app, as a test purchase was possible, and could be queried from the store.
Code:
`mHelper = new IabHelper(MainActivity.this, getString(getString(R.string.key1));
mHelper.startSetup(new IabHelper.OnIabSetupFinishedListener(){
#Override
public void onIabSetupFinished(IabResult result) {
if (!result.isSuccess()) {
Log.d(TAG, "Problem Setting up Billing" + result);
return;
}
IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener mQueryFinishedListener = new IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener() {
#Override
public void onQueryInventoryFinished(IabResult result, Inventory inv) {
if (result.isFailure()) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), R.string.connectionFailed, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d(TAG, result.getMessage() + result.getResponse() + inv.toString());
return;
}
String modulePrice = inv.getSkuDetails(MODULE).getPrice();
String moduleTitle = inv.getSkuDetails(MODULE).getTitle();
String moduleDescription=inv.getSkuDetails(MODULE).getDescription();
}
}
ArrayList<String> skuList=new ArrayList<String>();
skuList.add(MODULE);
try {
mHelper.queryInventoryAsync(true, skuList, mQueryFinishedListener);
} catch (IabHelper.IabAsyncInProgressException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});`
Ignore the wrong indentation and missing brackets, as i cut out some code.
I greatly appreciate any ideas as to what could be causing this problem.
Thanks

Know when a suscription was cancelled - Play Billing 1.0

I'm using this tuto to integrate Play Billing Library to my app: http://www.androidrey.com/implement-play-billing-library-in-android-application/ and all works good ... well, not at all. I have problems to know when a suscription was cancelled, I tested all the methods to find a resultCode or something to know this state, but have a method that I could not implement. Could be this the problem?
class: BillingManager.java
public void queryPurchases() {
Runnable queryToExecute = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
long time = System.currentTimeMillis();
Purchase.PurchasesResult purchasesResult = billingClient.queryPurchases(BillingClient.SkuType.INAPP);
if (areSubscriptionsSupported()) {
Purchase.PurchasesResult subscriptionResult
= billingClient.queryPurchases(BillingClient.SkuType.SUBS);
System.out.println("QUERY 0");
if (subscriptionResult.getResponseCode() == BillingClient.BillingResponse.OK) {
purchasesResult.getPurchasesList().addAll(
subscriptionResult.getPurchasesList());
System.out.println("QUERY 1");
} else {
// Handle any error response codes.
}
} else if (purchasesResult.getResponseCode() == BillingClient.BillingResponse.OK) {
// Skip subscription purchases query as they are not supported.
System.out.println("QUERY 2");
} else {
// Handle any other error response codes.
System.out.println("QUERY 3");
}
onQueryPurchasesFinished(purchasesResult);
System.out.println("QUERY RESULT "+ purchasesResult);
}
};
executeServiceRequest(queryToExecute);
}
private void onQueryPurchasesFinished(Purchase.PurchasesResult result) {
// Have we been disposed of in the meantime? If so, or bad result code, then quit
if (billingClient == null || result.getResponseCode() != BillingClient.BillingResponse.OK) {
Log.w(TAG, "Billing client was null or result code (" + result.getResponseCode()
+ ") was bad – quitting");
return;
}
Log.d(TAG, "Query inventory was successful.");
// Update the UI and purchases inventory with new list of purchases
// mPurchases.clear();
onPurchasesUpdated(BillingClient.BillingResponse.OK, result.getPurchasesList());
}
public boolean areSubscriptionsSupported() {
int responseCode = billingClient.isFeatureSupported(BillingClient.FeatureType.SUBSCRIPTIONS);
if (responseCode != BillingClient.BillingResponse.OK) {
Log.w(TAG, "areSubscriptionsSupported() got an error response: " + responseCode);
}
return responseCode == BillingClient.BillingResponse.OK;
}
It is supposed to be called here: MyBillingUpdateListener.java
public class MyBillingUpdateListener implements BillingManager.BillingUpdatesListener {
//final BillingManager billingManager = new BillingManager(,this );
#Override
public void onBillingClientSetupFinished() {
//billingManager.queryPurchases(); THIS IS WHAT I COULD NOT IMPLEMENT
}
Any help is welcome, thanks!.
Play Billing 1.0 does not have the concept of purchase states (anymore), so there currently is no way to get this information using the Play Billing library.
My understanding is that queryPurchases is supposed to return actual valid purchases only. However, it gets the information from a long living cache and you have no way of updating it manually.
onBillingClientSetupFinished is completely unrelated.
Here is an active discussion on the subject: https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-billing/issues/122

How to debug in-app billing on Android 4.1 and 4.2?

New to Android dev and I have this very annoying, and familiar problem.
Short version: how can I test my app on multiple physical devices w/o buying them? Specifically, I'm trying to test on 4.1 and 4.2 running devices. I can't use an emulator because this involves in-app billing.
Long version:
Today, I got a crash report from a user (android version = 4.2, on device = A1-811 (mango)).
The issue is: IAB helper is not set up. Can't perform operation: queryInventory . I tested the app on 4.3, 5.0, 5.1 and it's fine.
I KNOW that the actual crash happened because I wasn't quitting when I was checking for (!result.isSuccess()) in mhelper.startSetup().
My question is, how do I solve the underlying issue of IabHelper not being set up?! I don't have access to Android 4.2 device...
MY CODE:
IabHelper.OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener mPurchaseFinishedListener = new IabHelper.OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener () {
public void onIabPurchaseFinished (IabResult result, Purchase purchase) {
if (mHelper == null)
return;
if (result.isFailure ()) {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Google's response is a failure.");
} else {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Response is successful. purchase.getSKU = " + purchase.getSku ());
premium = true;
}
}
};
IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener mQueryFinishedListener = new IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener () {
public void onQueryInventoryFinished (IabResult result, Inventory inventory) {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Processing Google's response.");
// Check if user has existing purchase.
if (result.isFailure ()) {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Google's response is a failure. Response = ");
} else {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Google's response is success! getPurchase() = " + inventory.getPurchase (THE_SKU));
if (inventory.getPurchase (THE_SKU) == null) {
premium = false;
} else {
premium = inventory.getPurchase (THE_SKU).getSku ().equals (THE_SKU);
}
}
// Show price if user is not premium, thank you note if the user is premium
if (premium == true) {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "3 premium = " + premium);
priceView.setText ("Thank you for the purchase!");
} else {
if (inventory != null) {
String pro_price = inventory.getSkuDetails (THE_SKU).getPrice ();
priceView.setText ("" + pro_price);
}
}
}
};
private void startPurchaseQuery () {
String base64EncodedPublicKey = "the key is generated ...";
mHelper = new IabHelper (this, base64EncodedPublicKey);
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Purchase query started.");
mHelper.startSetup (new IabHelper.OnIabSetupFinishedListener () {
public void onIabSetupFinished (IabResult result) {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "IabHelper Setup successful. Querying inventory.");
if (!result.isSuccess ()) {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Error with IabHelper setup.");
return;
}
if (mHelper == null) return;
// IAB is fully set up. Now, let's get an inventory of stuff we own.
// Build the SKU list
List<String> additionalSkuList;
additionalSkuList = new ArrayList<String> ();
additionalSkuList.add (THE_SKU);
// Make the query
mHelper.queryInventoryAsync (true, additionalSkuList, mQueryFinishedListener);
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Query finished. Premium status = " + premium);
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult (int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "onActivityResult(" + requestCode + "," + resultCode + "," + data);
// Pass on the activity result to the helper for handling
if (!mHelper.handleActivityResult (requestCode, resultCode, data)) {
// not handled, so handle it ourselves (here's where you'd
// perform any handling of activity results not related to in-app
// billing...
super.onActivityResult (requestCode, resultCode, data);
} else {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "onActivityResult handled by IABUtil.");
}
}
#Override
public void onDestroy () {
super.onDestroy ();
if (mHelper != null) mHelper.dispose ();
mHelper = null;
}
Answer from comments above
It's better to catch the error and patch own code first. Trying to reproduce exact issue why was IAB not set up may not be possible, because of all kinds of modifications user can do on his device (could be bug with specific version of distro user is running, which is almost impossible to find out, or similar). As you suggested, using Analytics to find out how many users have this issue is good approach.
To answer original question, you can create Alpha or Beta versions in Developer Console and invite users with specific versions of Android you'd like to target into testing group. This was you could test issues and crashes directly from Dev. Console even when not directly being owner of the device.

Android In-app Purchase V3 Error: Authentication is required

I am implementing Google In-app Purchase V3 and followed all steps stated over here as well in official documentation here. I have uploaded my app in Google Playstore for Alpha Testing and I have downloaded that from playstore URL into my real device but it giving me error

My products are Managed products in developer account In-app Products
EDIT:
When I use android.test.purchased as a SKU then it works fine and as I change my sku with my product_id then it giving me Error Authentication is required. You need to sign into your Google Account.
Please make sure your product id on playstore for in app purchase which is "test_product" you should use the same sku in your code. And if you change the sku from your application, then all that possible sku names must exists on PlayStore as in-app Products. I once run into this problem and the reason was my SKU item was not exists on Google Playstore in-app products i just add it on Playstore and it was resolved.
Android IAB Error - Authentication required
It seems that you need to publish the APK. I stuck with this problem too.
It is a bit of a longshot, but your "Google Play store" app could be malfunctioning.
I have a report from a customer that he cannot make an In-App purchase and he is getting this same error. I also know that we are still getting purchases. So I don't think you necessarily configured anything wrong. IAB v3 could simply be malfunctioning with your "Google Play Store" app.
Try going to Settings open the Application manager and choose the "Google Play store" application in the list, and click on "Uninstall updates" button which appears there. Next try to do the purchase again. If your old Google Play application supports In-App billing v3 it will work. If it doesn't, try to update the "Google Play store" app again, perhaps you will get a newer/different version of the store app and you will be able to make the purchase.
As an alternative you can try and configure a second test device with a different Google account... or ask a friend to join a beta test group and make a test purchase.
I am not really happy with IAB v3. It feels a little clunky. V2 had fewer features but felt solid.

Google Play In-App Billing: Test purchase does not work + No product details available

I am trying to add Googles In-App Billing to my Android 4+ app. I have set up everything as described in "Preparing Your In-app Billing Application". Now I have uploaded the app to the Alpha testing channel in the Developer console.
Additionally I have set up a test account (described here) to be able purchase the items without triggering a real payment.
After installing the alpha version from the Play Store on my test device (using the test account of course) there a two problems:
No product information is fetched from the Play Store. Thus I cannot show any price information, etc.
When I start a purchase there is absolutly no hint, that this will be a free test purchase. Everything looks exactly like a real purchase.
This is the code I use:
String publicKey = MyApp.getPublicKey(); // de-code and get the public key
final IabHelper googlePlayHelper = new IabHelper(context, publicKey);
Log.d("TAG", "IabHelber Init");
googlePlayHelper.startSetup(new IabHelper.OnIabSetupFinishedListener() {
public void onIabSetupFinished(IabResult result) {
if (!result.isSuccess()) {
Log.d("TAG", "IabHelber Init - Non Success: " + result);
} else {
Log.d("TAG", "IabHelber Init - SUCCESS");
try {
googlePlayHelper.queryInventoryAsync(true, new IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener() {
public void onQueryInventoryFinished(IabResult result, Inventory inventory) {
if (result.isFailure()) {
Log.d("TAG", "query Inventory - Non Success: " + result);
} else {
Log.d("TAG", "query Inventory - SUCCESS");
if (inventory.hasDetails(2my.product.id")) {
Log.d("TAG", "NO DETAILS");
} else {
Log.d("TAG", "Has Details");
}
}
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("TAG", "EXCEPTION: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
});
The Log shows the following:
D/TAG (25995): IabHelber Init
D/TAG (25995): IabHelber Init - SUCCESS
D/TAG (25995): query Inventory - SUCCESS
D/TAG (25995): NO DETAILS
What could be the reason that now details are fetched?
The docs that that there should be an hint when performing a test purchase. Why am I runnig a "real" purchase instead?
I have not been able to find out why purchases by test users are not handled as test purchases. But the problem with the missing product details is solved:
I used the following call to query the inventory:
googlePlayHelper.queryInventoryAsync(true, new IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener() { ... });
This is totally valid code and the first parameters (true in this example) states, that the query should fetch the product details. But it seems, that this parameter does not have any effect until a further parameter is given: One has to explicitly specify the IDs of the product one would like to fetch:
List<String> productIDs = new ArrayList<String>();
productIDs.add(IAP_ID_1);
productIDs.add(IAP_ID_2);
productIDs.add(IAP_ID_3);
googlePlayHelper.queryInventoryAsync(true, productIDs, new IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener() { ... });
