Is it possible to use the Android SDK to make a payment without a PayPal account or a credit card?
I'm searching for the feature to make an instant transfer from a bank account like a simple web-checkout.
Currently, I can only login with an account or use a credit card.
Is the bank-account method not supported in PayPal Android SDK(1.2.6)?
Sounds like what you're referring to would be ACH payments. PayPal in general does not support this (directly). Their version of that is logging in to a PayPal account and paying with bank funds. They don't have any way to simply send a bank account and routing number, though, to do a direct transfer.

I am developing an android app which accepts payment through Netbanking as well as Credit Cards. I am residing in India currently. My requirement is;
The User owe me (me here is my company) $100. He types in the amount and click on pay button.
Now here the user should redirect to payment gateway where he enters credit card details or netbanking.
When he press pay the money should get to my company account (I will use my personal account for testing). The personal account I will be using is ICICI Bank.
My Doubts
What is the feasibility of such a service. Is there any free payment gateway's available for testing or limited transaction?
How does invoking the external payment gateway works? Is it like a POST request where I will send the customers details to this third party gateway?
What will be the system that Amazon, Flipkart, Mytra will be using for collecting the money from customer?
Since you want to integrate bank specific payment gateway then you need to setup a merchant account with your bank, then they will provide you libraries and technical documents for guideline of integrating their payment gateway.
Other option is to go with third party payment gateways like PayPal, CCAvenue or InstaMojo to name a few.
each has their pros and cons.
I would recommend Instamojo, because of their easy integration steps.
For setting up a test account with them you can signup on

Hope this answers your query.
I'm creating some Android apps that require a very small payment for $0.99 per magazine. I was looking to use Paypal as my payment method but my app keeps rejecting login in I read that is because is in testing sandbox and see this:
Upgrade your PayPal account as necessary
Before attempting to use a live app to directly accept credit cards, go to the Account Eligibility page. In order to use a live app to directly accept credit cards, you may need to sign up for PayPal Payments Pro (a paid subscription).
Additionally, please note that you must have a PayPal Business account to accept PayPal as a payment method.
Is necessary to Upgrade my personal account and pay monthly fees for in app purchasing?
If so is there any other way to receive payments that doesn't cost monthly?I don't think this magazine app will do much money.
Additionally, please note that you must have a PayPal Business account to accept PayPal as a payment method.
You need to do that and make your account business validated. Without verified business account you will not be able to go live with your app as you won't get production API access.
I would like to use the Paypal's Mobile SDK in my Mobile App. Would anyone be able to tell me if the Mobile SDK can do the following things:
1) Transfer money between two PayPal accounts.
2) Make a payment to a PayPal account using credit or debit card details.
3) Register a new PayPal account.
4) Save PayPal details for future use without having to log in again.
5) Save Credit card details for future use without having to log in again.
suggest me above.
Specific answers to your questions are below, but I'd encourage you to check out the Braintree v.zero SDK as it contains the PayPal MSDK for PayPal, but has many more payment options including credit card tokenization. (Braintree is owned by PayPal.)
The MSDK can allow accept money from the user's PayPal account into your merchant PayPal account, but does not allow you to move money between arbitrary accounts.
The MSDK allows you to accept credit cards into your merchant PayPal account.
The MSDK login page provides a link to a mobile friendly web page that permits new users to sign up.
Yes.
No.
I had referred the android sample application (Application Name: PizzaApp-Complete) which is provided by PayPal. The Application is based on Simple Payment. While transferring money to Business-Pro Account, the PayPal is not asking for Guest Payment.It directly shows paypal login dialog. I am using Sand-Box for testing. Why PayPal is not asking for Guest Payment? Also I had upgraded my Business Account to Business Account Pro, so that it will accept Credit/Debit payments made by user.
Check in your PayPal profile under Payment Receiving Preferences and make sure PayPal Account Optional is enabled.
Unfortunately the legacy MPL does not support guest checkout.
I'm developing an Android app, in which users enter and (securely) save their credit card information. I'd then like users to have the option of making payments via PayPal. If the user has a PayPal account, it seems quite simple, but some users won't. Is it possible to make a PayPal payment using the stored credit card information rather than by having the user sign in to PayPal?
Thanks, any help would be much appreciated.
According to PayPal's website, "your buyers don't need a PayPal account". Specifically looks like you could use the Direct Payment API.
