What I am trying?
Purchasing items in one android device having configured X email address. When I check in another device having the same email address configured. but items purchased on first device is not getting available in another device.
What I have tried?
I have tried using :
inappBillingService.getPurchases(InAppBuyActivity.INAPPVERSION,
getPackageName(), "inapp", null);
and also tried using :
IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener mGotInventoryListener
= new IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener() {
public void onQueryInventoryFinished(IabResult result,
Inventory inventory) {
if (result.isFailure()) {
// handle error here
}
else {
// Not getting same purchased on both devices
}
}
};
I am generating signed apk having the same version name and version code as of playstore version.
I have tested the app using two devices. It takes sometime to reflect the purchases.
If i delete the app and reinstall it as a fresh then new purchased items are there. But, if i purchase one item and check it on second device at same time its not reflected there.
App shows items already purchased in second device when user try to purchase it. But, its not available in inappBillingService.getPurchases and IabHelper.QueryInventory.
The In-app Billing Version 3 API makes it easier for you to integrate In-app Billing into your applications.The features in this version include improved synchronous purchase flow, APIs to let you easily track ownership of consumable goods, and local caching of in-app purchase data.
1. Check in your code, if you used consumable or not
if you used consumable, user can purchase product multiple time, google store only one time purchase detail and again getting blank response, so remove consumable related code from your app.
2. Check user already purchased item or not using below code
private IInAppBillingService mService = null;
//onCreare
try {
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent("com.android.vending.billing.InAppBillingService.BIND");
serviceIntent.setPackage("com.android.vending");
bindService(serviceIntent, mServiceConn, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
// bindService(new Intent("com.android.vending.billing.InAppBillingService.BIND"), mServiceConn, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Method
ServiceConnection mServiceConn = new ServiceConnection() {
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
mService = IInAppBillingService.Stub.asInterface(service);
Log.d("TEST", "mService ready to go!");
checkownedItems();
}
#Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
mService = null;
}
};
private void checkownedItems() {
try {
Bundle ownedItems = mService.getPurchases(3, getPackageName(), "inapp", null);
if (ownedItems.getInt("RESPONSE_CODE") == 0) {
ArrayList<String> ownedSkus = ownedItems.getStringArrayList("INAPP_PURCHASE_ITEM_LIST");
ArrayList<String> purchaseDataList = ownedItems.getStringArrayList("INAPP_PURCHASE_DATA_LIST");
if (purchaseDataList.size() > 0) {
// Item already Purchased....
// Manage your in-app view
}else{
// Item not purchased
}
}
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Used above logic before purchase item, if item not purchase then call in-app getPurchases() otherwise hide or manage in-app view.
I'm making an Android application that will include a subscription using in-app billing from Google (https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/index.html).
The aim is to let user to have 1 subscription per device.
I know that Google limit subscription for 1 google mail account but not for 1 device, that's why I made my own restriction using a server with a database.
So I made a pool of 10 subscriptions in the developer console product list and I want that when a device subscribe for the 1st subscription, a second device (using the same google account) will subscribe for the next subscription...
But when I want the second device chose automatically the next subscription not even bought on the account, it is saying to me "Product already own". The problem is that the current inventory is not refreshed.
I'm using IabHelper and here is the part of code where I'm trying to buy the next subscription available.
public void initIab() throws IabHelper.IabAsyncInProgressException {
iabHelper = new IabHelper(this, AppConfig.APPLICATION_KEY);
iabHelper.startSetup(new IabHelper.OnIabSetupFinishedListener() {
public void onIabSetupFinished(IabResult result) throws IabHelper.IabAsyncInProgressException {
if (result.isSuccess()) {
iabHelper.queryInventoryAsync(iabInventoryListener());
billingServiceReady = true;
}
}
});
}
private IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener iabInventoryListener() {
return new IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener() {
public void onQueryInventoryFinished(IabResult result, Inventory inventory) {
if (iabHelper == null) {
return;
}
if (!result.isSuccess()) {
return;
}
String[] PREMIUM_KEYS = {"premium1","premium2","premium3","premium4","premium5","premium6","premium7","premium8","premium9","premium10"};
Purchase premiumPurchase = null;
String premiumKey;
boolean payload = false;
for(String key : PREMIUM_KEYS) {
if (inventory.hasPurchase(key)) {
premiumPurchase = inventory.getPurchase(key);
premiumKey = key;
payload = verifyDeveloperPayload(hasPurchase,premiumKey);
if(payload)
break;
}
}
session.setPremium(achatPremium != null && payload);
}
};
}
Please could you help me to find a solution ?
Sorry for my bad english.
Thank you.
I am using Google's In-App Billing for my Android app.
I used the IabHelper class from Google's how to, as their billing seems extremely complicated.
My issue is I want to know if the purchase is successful or not. I think I'm following the process correctly, but in my logs I see a lot of users that get the upgrade, but whose purchase never shows up in my Google Play payments account. (i.e. they get the upgrade for free).
I'm logging the GP order ids, sometimes its a number like,
GPA.1234-5678-9123-1234
But sometimes its like,
1234567891234.1234567891234
Normally I think its the non GPA orders that don't get charged.
Also I think you can put an order through, then cancel it, and still get the upgrade?
How do you ensure the user really paid?
Code:
IabHelper.OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener mPurchaseFinishedListener = new IabHelper.OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener() {
public void onIabPurchaseFinished(IabResult result, final Purchase purchase) {
if (result.isFailure()) {
showMessage("Google Billing Purchase Error");
return;
} else if (purchase.getSku().equals(sku)) {
IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener mReceivedInventoryListener = new IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener() {
public void onQueryInventoryFinished(IabResult result, Inventory inventory) {
if (result.isFailure()) {
showMessage("Google Billing Error");
return;
} else {
if (inventory.hasPurchase(sku)) {
showMessage("Thank you for upgrading");
grantUpgrade();
// ** This line gets call, but no payment occurs.
}
}
}
};
mHelper.queryInventoryAsync(mReceivedInventoryListener);
}
}
};
mHelper.launchPurchaseFlow(this, sku, 10001, mPurchaseFinishedListener, "");
*** updated to check "inventory.hasPurchase(sku)" but still see users who get the upgrade but don't pay.
** maybe the users are using Freedom hack? Anyway to prevent this?
if (result.isFailure()) {
//If the user aborts or any other problems it will jump here
}
else {
//The user purchased some item, check out which it is
mIsPremium = inventory.hasPurchase(SKU_ANY_ITEM);
}
So concerning your question, this code already verify whether the user really purchased the item !
Purchase premiumPurchase = inventory.getPurchase(SKU);
boolean mIsPremium = (premiumPurchase != null
&& verifyDeveloperPayload(premiumPurchase));
if(mIsPremium){
...
}
The Google Play Store keeps track of purchases for you, so you shouldn't assume that just because a purchase was successful, the item will stay purchased. It's possible for a user to get a refund for a purchase. For this reason, you need to query the user's inventory every time you launch and adjust your grants appropriately. You would need to do this check anyways in order to support users that expect to have the grant when they switch to a new device or uninstall/reinstall the app.
I am testing my app with a managed item that I purchased.
Then I wanted to try to purchase the product with the same id again (with purchase flow). I therefore have cleared all play store data. After that I was able to purchase the product again.
Now I am wondering that if a user cleans the play store data accidentally (or looses his/her purchase for any other reason), will he/she then loose his/her purchase?
I didn't expect that behavior, because I thought that the purchase information is stored on google's remote servers.
Code example:
IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener mGotInventoryListener = new IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener() {
public void onQueryInventoryFinished(IabResult result, Inventory inventory) {
if (mHelper == null)
return;
if (result.isFailure()) {
// handle error here
return;
} else {
if (inventory.hasPurchase(PremiumUtils.SKU_AD_FREE)){
// User paid to remove the Ads - so hide 'em
hideAd();
}
else{
// Free user - annoy him with ads ;)
showAd();
}
return;
}
}
};
I am currently testing In-App Billing for a future app, and after I successfully "bought" the test item "android.test.purchased" the first time, I now receive the response code 7 every time I try to buy it again, which means that I already own this item.
12-15 23:02:14.149: E/IabHelper(19829): In-app billing error: Unable
to buy item, Error response: 7:Item Already Owned
From what I understand, this purchase is supposed to always be possible, right? So that the developer can test his/her app?
If not, how can I "reset" its state to not owned? I am using the util package from the Google In-App Billing Sample.
Add this code to a thread to initiate consume request.
int response = mService.consumePurchase(3, getPackageName(), purchaseToken);
Here for the purchase test, purchaseToken is
purchaseToken = "inapp:" + getPackageName() + ":android.test.purchased";
And
if (response == 0)
then the consumption is successful.
also don't forget to make mService public in
IabHelper.Java
then it would be possible to access like this:
int response = mHelper.mService.consumePurchase(3, getPackageName(), purchaseToken);
No need to write any special consumption code. Just use the adb command for clearing the Google Play Store data:
adb shell pm clear com.android.vending
It turns out that the android.test.purchased item behaves like a regular ID. It means that if you want be able to buy it again, you have to consume it somewhere in your code. I think that the Google documentation is misleading on this matter, and that they should add another static ID that you can buy endlessly for test purposes.
In-app version 3:
IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener mGotInventoryListener = new IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener() {
public void onQueryInventoryFinished(IabResult result, Inventory inventory) {
.....................
if (inventory.hasPurchase(SKU_CONTENT)) {
mHelper.consumeAsync(inventory.getPurchase(SKU_CONTENT), null);
}
}
};
Version 3 - Fastest way to solve : Clearing the cache of Google Play Store will let "android.test.purchased" available again.
This is how we can consume the Item
consume.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
String purchaseToken = "inapp:" + getPackageName() + ":android.test.purchased";
try {
Log.d("","Running");
int response = mService.consumePurchase(3, getPackageName(), purchaseToken);
if(response==0)
{
Log.d("Consumed","Consumed");
}else {
Log.d("","No"+response);
}
}catch (RemoteException e)
{
Log.d("Errorr",""+e);
}
}
});
t.start();
}
});
In my opinion if your program is not designed to consume the item you do not need to tweak the code in order to clear the memory of an outside vendor. This will make your code more fragile and you will have then to spend a lot of time to add and remove code that does not belong to your software so it is a bad design to implement a solution like that.
The best solution that worked for me to clear android.test.purchased was
adb uninstall com.yourapp.name
and then
adb shell pm clear com.android.vending
I did not need to clear cash and to browse my apps setting or to change code for that. I did need to add the adb to path variables of windows system which was pretty straight forward. So yes you need to use adb which you probably need anyway so..
You just add your C:\ ...\android-sdk\platform-tools; in windows path in environment variables, and I imagine that it is pretty simple in mac and linux os as well. Hope it helps someone to spend few days less with implementing android in app billings.
Go to the Google Play Developer Console, open Order Management menu item from the left side and select the order you want to refund. Also make sure to remove the entitlement.
The main issue is you have to consume the android.test.purchased item. But this item won't be available in your query inventory, so you can't consume using the normal flow.
So, if you are using IabHelper, in IabHelper class, you can temporarily change the IInAppBillingService mService to public so that it is accessible from your IabHelper.
Then in your class, you can consume like this,
int response = mHelper.mService.consumePurchase(3, getPackageName(), "inapp:"+getPackageName()+":android.test.purchased");
If success, the response is going to be 0.
Hope this helps.
For testing purposes I also suggest you to insert a piece of code that will be clearing all the products that you've bought before calling a method that initializes gp purchase flow. That is especially comfortable, when you test just one item at the moment. E.g. like this:
PurchasesResult purchasesResult = mBillingClient.queryPurchases(BillingClient.SkuType.INAPP);
for (Purchase sourcePurchase : purchasesResult.getPurchasesList()) {
if(sourcePurchase != null){
ConsumeResponseListener listener = new ConsumeResponseListener() {
#Override
public void onConsumeResponse(String outToken, #BillingResponse int responseCode) {
System.out.println("all consumed");
}
};
mBillingClient.consumeAsync(sourcePurchase.getPurchaseToken(), listener);
}else{
System.out.println("null");
}
}
// and then initiate whole process with clear "shoping basket"
BillingFlowParams.Builder builder = new BillingFlowParams.Builder()
.setSku(itemName).setType(BillingClient.SkuType.INAPP);
If you are in test environment
1) In the case of android.test.purchased, I can reset the fake payment by restarting android device(consumed the inventory).
2) In InApp util there is a file called Security.java make it as following, for temporary. Since the testing payment(fake) always return false due to security exception.
public static boolean verifyPurchase(String base64PublicKey,
String signedData, String signature) {
return true; }
Then in your OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener call fechInvForconsumeItem()
IabHelper.OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener mPurchaseFinishedListener
= new IabHelper.OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener() {
public void onIabPurchaseFinished(IabResult result,
Purchase purchase)
{
if (result.isFailure()) {
// Handle error
Log.e("123","Failure");
return;
}
else if (purchase.getSku().equals(ITEM_SKU)) {
Log.e("123","PURCAsed");
fechInvForconsumeItem(); // Restart device if not consume
}
}
};
The fechInvForconsumeItem() is
public void fechInvForconsumeItem() {
mHelper.queryInventoryAsync(mReceivedInventoryListener);
}
IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener mReceivedInventoryListener
= new IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener() {
public void onQueryInventoryFinished(IabResult result,
Inventory inventory) {
if (result.isFailure()) {
// Handle failure
Log.e("11","Failure");
} else {
Log.e("11","suc");
mHelper.consumeAsync(inventory.getPurchase(ITEM_SKU),
mConsumeFinishedListener);
}
}
};
Consume Listener is
IabHelper.OnConsumeFinishedListener mConsumeFinishedListener =
new IabHelper.OnConsumeFinishedListener() {
public void onConsumeFinished(Purchase purchase,
IabResult result) {
if (result.isSuccess()) {
} else {
// handle error
Log.e("11","sucConsume");
}
}
};
IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener
mQueryFinishedListener = new IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener() {
public void onQueryInventoryFinished(IabResult result, Inventory inventory)
{
if (result.isFailure()) {
return;
}
try {
if(inventory.hasPurchase("product_sku_id"))
{
isItemEnable= true;
mHelper.consumeAsync(inventory.getPurchase("product_sku_id"),null);
}
else
{
isItemEnable = false;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
In my case, it appears that Google does not record a purchase for the item. Rather, the local copy of Google Play Services caches the purchase. That way, when a second request is made on the same device, android.test.purchased already owned appears. However, using another device or resetting the device clears the cache, and allows the purchase to be repeated.
In my case, I just needed to clear the apps cache. After clearing the cache, I was able to initiate the purchase flow again.
From my device (4.4.2), I navigated to "Settings->Application manager". Next, I selected the app from the "DOWNLOADED" tab, and then "Clear cache".
This is the difference between consumable and non-consumable items; non-consumable items (what you seem to be dealing with here) have their state tracked persistently, while consumable items can be purchased multiple times. You'll have to go into your Play management console and cancel/refund the sale to test it again.
