WeChat InApp payment screen shows up only for first time

I'm trying to implement WeChat InApp payments in our app. But we are struggling to make it work.
I will try to sum it up real quick.
Given user is not logged in, WeChat login screen show up every time.
Given user is logged in, when clicked on pay button for a first time, WeChat order info screen shows up, but when clicked back, and clicked on pay button again (in our app), WeChat screen doesn’t show up.
We did implemented WXPayEntryActivity but neither onCreate, onNewIntent nor onResp are called. And yes, this activity is sending broadcast but neither toast nor log shows up.
I tried call registerApp on application started, I tried it just before creating payment req.
Did anybody come across this issue?
Can WeChat help me directly?
Want to see some code?
This is my payment class
public class WXInAppPayment {
public void startPayment(AppCompatActivity activity, PaymentDataResponse data) {
IWXAPI api = getApi(activity);
if (api.isWXAppInstalled()) {
api.sendReq(getPayRequest(data));
} else {
// Showing toast
}
}
public WXReceiver getReceiver() {
// returning BR for wechat payments
return new WXReceiver();
}
public IntentFilter getIntentFilter() {
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
intentFilter.addAction(Constants.WE_CHAT_BR_ID);
return intentFilter;
}
private IWXAPI getApi(AppCompatActivity activity) {
final IWXAPI api = WXAPIFactory.createWXAPI(activity, null);
api.registerApp(Constants.WE_CHAT_APP_ID);
return api;
}
private PayReq getPayRequest(PaymentDataResponse data) {
PayReq request = new PayReq();
request.appId = dataFromAPI.appId;
request.partnerId = dataFromAPI.partnerId;
request.prepayId = dataFromAPI.prepayId;
request.packageValue = dataFromAPI.packageValue;
request.nonceStr = dataFromAPI.nonceStr;
request.timeStamp = dataFromAPI.timestimeStampamp;
request.sign = dataFromAPI.sign;
return request;
}
}
And this is WXPayEntryActivity. In manifest:
<activity android:name=".wxapi.WXPayEntryActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:exported="true"/>
And class:
public class WXPayEntryActivity extends Activity implements IWXAPIEventHandler {
private final String TAG = getClass().getSimpleName();
private IWXAPI api;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
api = WXAPIFactory.createWXAPI(this, Constants.WE_CHAT_APP_ID);
api.handleIntent(getIntent(), this);
}
#Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
super.onNewIntent(intent);
setIntent(intent);
api.handleIntent(intent, this);
}
#Override
public void onReq(BaseReq baseReq) {
Log.e(TAG, "onReq: " + baseReq.transaction);
}
#Override
public void onResp(BaseResp baseResp) {
Log.e(TAG, "onResp: " + baseResp.errStr + " " + baseResp.errCode);
Intent intent = new Intent(Constants.WE_CHAT_BR_ID);
intent.putExtra("error_code", baseResp.errCode);
intent.putExtra("error_string", baseResp.errStr);
sendBroadcast(intent);
finish();
}
}

I went through same issue... Your code look fine.
lets cover the scenario:
This is normal ... if user is not logged in.. Wechat App will
redirect to login screen
"Only first time payment passed" happened due to wrong packageName. consider these checks:
You need to use ApplicationId not packageName
WhiteSpace
Debug buildType by default has suffix: .debug to applicatonId
Check AppSign which is MD5 of cert you sign with.. Be careful not to use the default one for debug buildType.
Try to reassign ApplicationId and AppSign it again.(that was our issue 😞) due to hidden WS not visible.
Contact Wechat team support.. they have logs to payment.

Cast custom channel callback never called

I'm working on an Android app that communicates with a Cast receiver app.
Connecting to the app works (I can see the app appear on the tv), but I'm having difficulties getting the custom channel to work.
In the onCreate of my Activity I get the CastContext and add my SessionManagerLister.
mCastContext = CastContext.getSharedInstance(this);
mCastContext.getSessionManager().addSessionManagerListener(getSessionManagerListener(), CastSession.class);
getSessionManagerListener() returns the listener where I register my MessageReceivedCallback:
private SessionManagerListener<CastSession> getSessionManagerListener()
{
return new SessionManagerListener<CastSession>()
{
#Override
public void onSessionStarted(CastSession castSession, String s)
{
try
{
castSession.setMessageReceivedCallbacks("urn:x-cast:be.myappname.player.cast.v1", new Cast.MessageReceivedCallback()
{
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(CastDevice castDevice, String s, String s1)
{
System.out.println("never reaches this callback");
}
});
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
... other methods omitted ...
}
}
When I tap the Toolbar cast button I can select a device, which triggers the onSessionStarted in the SessionManagerListener (this also starts the receiver app on the tv). I then add the MessageReceivedCallback, but its callback never gets called.
Inspecting my Cast device in Chrome does show the data I'm expecting to receive, it just never seems to reach my Android code.
cast_receiver.js:67 [667.202s] [cast.receiver.IpcChannel] IPC message
[667.202s] [cast.receiver.IpcChannel] IPC message sent: {"namespace":"urn:x-cast:be.myappname.player.cast.v1","senderId":"7c442884-74e6-a388-243c-58b4ab3a4527.3471:com.google.sample.cast.refplayer.tutorial-512","data":"{\"type\":\"login request\"}"}
A colleague is working on the iOS app and that one does receive the callback.

Try the following in onSessionStarted
CastContext cc = CastContext.getSharedInstance(this);
SessionManager sm = cc.getSessionManager();
if (sm != null) {
CastSession cs = sm.getCurrentCastSession();
if (cs != null) {
try {
MyCastChannel mcc = new MyCastChannel();
cs.setMessageReceivedCallbacks("urn:x-cast:be.myappname.player.cast.v1",mcc);
}
catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}
public class MyCastChannel implements Cast.MessageReceivedCallback
{
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(CastDevice castDevice, String namespace, String message)
{
// do your thing
}
}

I had the same problem, this is how I managed to get the message to be sent:
context.sendCustomMessage(namespace, undefined, JSON.stringify({
"a": "b"
}));
This is the javascript on the receiver side. So you need the "undefined" param and also use JSON.stringify(), otherwise the message gets silently dropped.
The undefined means "send to all", but you should probably specify sender-id there.
This is in the v3 API.

In my case, it was more subtle.
The callback worked absolutely fine when the cast session was initiated for the first time. When the user presses the cast button the receiver is registered for the message callback.
override fun onSessionStarted(castSession: CastSession?, p1: String?) {
liveViewModel.requestPause()
castSession?.let {
setCastChannelReceiver(it, this#myActivity)
loadRemoteMedia(it, buildChromeCastInfo())
}
}
fun setCastChannelReceiver(castSession: CastSession?, receiver: CastMessageReceiver) {
castSession?.let {
castChannel.addReceiver(receiver, castSession)
it.setMessageReceivedCallbacks(castChannel.nameSpace, castChannel)
}
}
Although when the user use to kill the Activity which initiated the cast session and then after traversing other parts of app use to again visit the Activity, the callback failed to work.
Remember, when the user visits the Activity for the second time, the CastSession is already connected. As a result the onSessionStarted(castSession: CastSession, p1: String) method is never called.
I was under the assumption that once the receiver has been registered for the session, it need not be registered again. But still for some reason the callback never worked.
As a final resort, just to be assured I re-registered the receiver in the OnCreate() of the Activity.
override fun onCreate(out:Bundle){
....
setCastChannelReceiver(castSession, receiver)
....
}
fun setCastChannelReceiver(castSession: CastSession?, receiver: CastMessageReceiver) {
castSession?.let {
castChannel.addReceiver(receiver, castSession)
it.setMessageReceivedCallbacks(castChannel.nameSpace, castChannel)
}
}
And it worked!!
NOTE: For me, the communication between the Sender(Android App) and Cast Receiver only occurred when the string messages were in JSON format.

Android iBeacon Receiving Single Specified Signal

I am receiving a range of signals from onReceive using BroadcastReceiver in my iBeaconProject. What I would like to do is to only keep track of one of the beacons (which I specify) and it's distance from my phone to the beacon. Any ideas, guys? Please help me! I'm using http://www.radiusnetworks.com. I am getting a range of signals using the following onReceive function. How do I go about doing it? Thanks all in advance!
BroadcastReceiver bReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
int countBea = 0;
if (intent.getAction().equals(intentname) && intent.getExtras() != null && intent.getExtras().containsKey(intentname)) {
Collection<IBeacon> beaconsCol = (Collection<IBeacon>)intent.getExtras().getSerializable(intentname);
for (IBeacon bea : beaconsCol) {
Log.d("beac receive!","receive! "+bea.getProximityUuid()+" "+bea.getMajor()+" "+bea.getMinor()+" "+bea.getAccuracy()+" "+bea.getProximity()+" "+bea.getRssi()+" "+bea.getTxPower());
countBea++;
if(((mainActivity)getActivity()).UUIDValue.equalsIgnoreCase(bea.getProximityUuid())
&& ((mainActivity)getActivity()).MajorValue == bea.getMajor()
&& ((mainActivity)getActivity()).MinorValue == bea.getMinor()) {
update(bea.getProximityUuid(), +bea.getMajor(), bea.getMinor(), bea.getAccuracy());
} else if (((mainActivity)getActivity()).UUIDValue.equalsIgnoreCase(bea.getProximityUuid())
&& (((mainActivity)getActivity()).MajorValue == 0 ||
((mainActivity)getActivity()).MinorValue == 0)) {
updateNILMajorMinor();
} else {
updateMultipleBeaconsDetected();
}
}
System.out.println("COUNTBEAC " + countBea);
}
}
};

Good to see the for-each loop.
Inside it, you can identify the beacon that you want to keep track of,
for (IBeacon bea : beaconsCol) {
//in the following if, identify the specified beacon
// this will remain the same for every refresh
if(bea.getProximityUuid().equals("match it here") && bea.getMajor()==major
&& bea.getMinor()==minor){
//now display that beacon's proximity and accuracy
//the same code will update a textview or notification every time
// here you will have 1 beacon at a time, can add that to a global list
}
}
Can you give a precise idea for the implementation?
does your code enter onReceive periodically?

I have never seen anything mention using the Radius Networks SDK by listening for broadcasts. Instead they ask that you implement certain interfaces and register them with an IBeaconManager.
You may find their code samples useful. That page contains the following snippet, which you may recognize as equivalent to the code in your question.
public class RangingActivity extends Activity implements IBeaconConsumer, RangeNotifier {
private static final String TAG = RangingActivity.class.getName();
private IBeaconManager iBeaconManager;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
iBeaconManager = IBeaconManager.getInstanceForApplication(this);
iBeaconManager.bind(this);
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
iBeaconManager.unBind(this);
}
#Override
public void onIBeaconServiceConnect() {
iBeaconManager.setRangeNotifier(this);
try {
// edit this to match the UUID of your beacon
// or leave null to detect everything
String uuid = null;
Region region = new Region("myRangingUniqueId", uuid, null, null);
iBeaconManager.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(region);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "problem while starting ranging", e);
}
}
#Override
public void didRangeBeaconsInRegion(Collection<IBeacon> iBeacons, Region region) {
if (!iBeacons.isEmpty()) {
double accuracy = iBeacons.iterator().next().getAccuracy();
Log.i(TAG, "The first iBeacon I see is about " + accuracy + " meters away.");
}
}
}

Android - Listening to NFC Adapter State Changed

I am trying to build an application which uses NFC. The goal is to display a DialogFragment containing a button link to go the settings and change it manually and when the feature is enabled, disable the DialogFragment.
Problem: If the user enables/disables NFC using the icon in the pull down notifications tray , then the onPause/onResume doesn't get called and misses the condition entirely.
I am sure there is a receiver that I can register to instead and respond appropriately in real time. Any ideas, thoughts or reference will be greatly appreciated!
The following code checks if the state is enabled/disabled. I am also responding to it appropriately in the onResume event.
NfcManager manager = (NfcManager) getSystemService(Context.NFC_SERVICE);
NfcAdapter adapter = manager.getDefaultAdapter();
if(adapter != null && adapter.isEnabled()) {
detector = new NfcDetector(this);
detector.setListener(this);
onNfcFeatureFound();
}
else {
onNfcFeatureNotFound();
}
For others looking at this post, the code below will take the user directly into settings to enable/disable NFC:
startActivity(new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_NFC_SETTINGS));

Thought I should post the answer for other people looking for the same problem, since I wasn't able to find one easily.
Add the following code to your activities onCreate() method:
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(NfcAdapter.ACTION_ADAPTER_STATE_CHANGED);
this.registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
Inner private class declared within your activity (or anywhere else you like):
private final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
final String action = intent.getAction();
if (action.equals(NfcAdapter.ACTION_ADAPTER_STATE_CHANGED)) {
final int state = intent.getIntExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_ADAPTER_STATE,
NfcAdapter.STATE_OFF);
switch (state) {
case NfcAdapter.STATE_OFF:
break;
case NfcAdapter.STATE_TURNING_OFF:
break;
case NfcAdapter.STATE_ON:
break;
case NfcAdapter.STATE_TURNING_ON:
break;
}
}
}
};
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
// Remove the broadcast listener
this.unregisterReceiver(mReceiver);
}
// The following check needs to also be added to the onResume
#Override
protected void onResume()
super.onResume();
// Check for available NFC Adapter
NfcAdapter adapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this);
if(adapter != null && adapter.isEnabled()) {
createNfcDetector();
//NFC is available on device, but disabled
}
else {
//NFC Is available and enabled
}
}

You can use ACTION_ADAPTER_STATE_CHANGED to receive a broadcast message when the state of the adapter changes, but that option is only available in API 18 and above. See this for the documentation.
For prior to 18, I don't know of a way to do this unfortunately.
Also, as an aside, the android.provider.Settings.ACTION_NFC_SETTINGS will work on API levels 16 and above. For prior versions, the NFC settings are under "wireless settings". Take a look at the ensureSensorIsOn method at the bottom of this blog post for a code sample that checks against the API level and redirects to the correct settings pane.

Unable to both start and discover a specific service with Wifi Direct

I'm pretty new with Android programming. But I have been working on this for over a week now, and it starts to get booooring.
My idea is that I want to connect two devices using Wifi Direct. But I only want to connect to those which are running my application. Besides, I want the users to be able to see some information of the other devices (such as user name), not just the MAC or the Android_XXXX name included in the WifiP2pDevice. That's why I decided that a device looking for other devices, should both start the application service and search for peers which are also broadcasting this service.
The problem (I'm testing with two real devices) is that, even though they are running exactly the same code, only one of them is getting the service discovery callbacks (the onDnsSd... listeners below). So, one side acts in the proper way, but not the other. Moreover I'm getting "old" services, meaning that apparently each time I start de service (even though I cancel previously started services), that service seems to be still broadcast during at least some minutes.
I include a shortened version of my code:
public class MoveFlufietsDialogFragment extends DialogFragment implements ChannelListener, DeviceActionListener {
public final HashMap<String, FlufietsPeer> mBuddies = new HashMap<String, FlufietsPeer>();
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
mIntentFilter.addAction(WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION);
mIntentFilter.addAction(WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_PEERS_CHANGED_ACTION);
mIntentFilter.addAction(WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_CONNECTION_CHANGED_ACTION);
mIntentFilter.addAction(WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_THIS_DEVICE_CHANGED_ACTION);
mManager = (WifiP2pManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_P2P_SERVICE);
mChannel = mManager.initialize(getActivity(), getActivity().getMainLooper(), null);
...
startRegistration();
discoverFlufietsService();
...
}
public void discoverFlufietsService() {
DnsSdTxtRecordListener txtListener = new DnsSdTxtRecordListener() {
#Override
public void onDnsSdTxtRecordAvailable(String fullDomain, Map record, WifiP2pDevice device) {
// This and the next listener are only called in one of the devices.
String serviceName = (String) record.get("serviceName");
if ((serviceName != null) && (serviceName.equals("flufiets")) {
// I put the record data in the mBuddies HashMap.
...
mBuddies.put(device.deviceAddress, myPeerDataStructure);
}
}
};
DnsSdServiceResponseListener servListener = new DnsSdServiceResponseListener() {
#Override
public void onDnsSdServiceAvailable(String instanceName, String registrationType, WifiP2pDevice resourceType) {
if (mBuddies.containsKey(resourceType.deviceAddress)) {
FlufietsPeer flufietsPeer = mBuddies.get(resourceType.deviceAddress);
WiFiPeerListAdapter adapter = ((WiFiPeerListAdapter) mFragmentList.getListAdapter());
adapter.add(flufietsPeer);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
};
mManager.setDnsSdResponseListeners(mChannel, servListener, txtListener);
WifiP2pDnsSdServiceRequest serviceRequest = WifiP2pDnsSdServiceRequest.newInstance();
mManager.addServiceRequest(mChannel, serviceRequest, new ActionListener() {
// onSuccess/onFailure toasts.
});
mManager.discoverServices(mChannel, new WifiP2pManager.ActionListener() {
// onSuccess/onFailure toasts.
});
}
public void startRegistration() {
mManager.clearLocalServices(mChannel, new ActionListener() {
// onSuccess/onFailure toasts.
});
Map record = new HashMap();
record.put("serviceName", "flufiets");
...
WifiP2pDnsSdServiceInfo serviceInfo = WifiP2pDnsSdServiceInfo.newInstance(flufietsService, "_tcp", record);
mManager.addLocalService(mChannel, serviceInfo, new ActionListener() {
// onSuccess/onFailure toasts.
});
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mReceiver = new WiFiDirectBroadcastReceiver(mManager, mChannel, this);
getActivity().registerReceiver(mReceiver, mIntentFilter);
}
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
getActivity().unregisterReceiver(mReceiver);
}
#Override
public void onStop() {
super.onStop();
mManager.clearLocalServices(mChannel, new ActionListener() {
// onSuccess/onFailure toasts.
});
}
...
}
The problem doesn't seem to be related with the device itself (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but always only in one of them). I suspect it has to do with either trying to discover a service that we ourselves are broadcasting, or having the same service being offered by two devices. I have tried changing the names of the service, so each device would offer either a "send" or "receive" service, but it doesn't work. I only get the callbacks called (onDnsSd...) in one of the devices.
And that thing about getting old services, when I always clear them, is weird (I do include a timestamp in the service record data, and I could always discard all but the last, but doesn't seem to be logical).
Any ideas? ANY help would be VERY appreciated, because writing the application is not funny any more (:-)=
Thanks a lot!

You need to wait until the clearLocalService call succeeds before adding the local service later. So put the addLocalService call into the onSuccess callback of the clearLocalServices.
