I want to add in app purchases to my Android app. I know I can use Google In-App Billing API, but I want to know if there are other libraries I could use that provide a more complete solution so I don't have to write as much code. I know there is Urban Airship but their fees are high. Anybody know of anything else? Are there any big names? Ideally, user would be able to pay using a variety of payment methods. Support for iOS would be nice.
Please note that Google policy differs between paying for virtual goods where you have to use Google APIs, or paying for physical goods where you can use other 3rd parties.
Also some countries are not supported by Google checkout so I guess in these countries you can use 3rd party also for virtual stuff.
This is a direct question so I will use my own company to answer
You can try ZooZ, both for Android and iOS

Is there any other way where I could add credit card payment to my app since Google Pay is not yet available in my country? I want the experience to be in-app not taking a user to a payment gateway via a browser.
You can use Stripe (https://stripe.com), is easy to implement and has a native SDK for android.

You should be able to test out the Google Pay experience by using the following steps:
Join the googlepay-test-mode-stub-data Google Group - this will allow you to access stubbed payment methods while testing. If you no longer want this behavior, leave the group.
Click on TEST Google Pay button integration - demo site available. I'm not 100% sure if it works with an Android integration, but maybe you can let us know if it does.
I'm developing an app in which i'm planning to add a donate feature, but googling about it, found that when using paypal or other 3rd party for this feature attracts google to suspend you're app.
How to implement a Donate feature and also make sure that google doesn't suspend my app?
If any option any example with same would also help me in ways.
if paypal an example link or if google wallet an example.
Thanks in advance
A common thing I see a lot is to make 2 versions of your app, 1 free and 1 donate version. Or heck, you could just use Google Play In-app Billing and offer some kind of small extra feature for the payment.
I would like to make an app that pushes Google Now cards to the Pebble SmartWatch. Is there a way to access Google Now cards programmatically? I'm guessing from my googling that it's not officially supported, but have people found out any undocumented APIs that access this information?
AFAIK there are no official or unofficial APIs as of now to retrieve the Google Now cards, and there are unlikely to be as it is a proprietary app by Google that gives them a competitive advantage, and not part of the AOSP Android.
Does exist some software for developers that is able to upload applications into Android Market (Google Play)? I want to automate this process, because I have very many apps in Market. Official or unofficial, no matter.
The API (http://code.google.com/p/android-market-api/) here is for emulating the android marketplace to pull data. You'd have to mimick the login onto the android marketplace developer center then use some kind of DOM Crawler like (symphony dom crawler to navigate and use GET/POST to mimick the calls for uploading).
Login to Google with PHP and Curl, Cookie turned off?
I'm not aware of any official API that allows this. I doubt Google would be keen to implement it as it could encourage submission of vast numbers of auto-generated apps.
The nearest I've seen is this unofficial API to read data, but as far as I'm aware there's no facility to submit apps:

Google has presented a new API to work with Google Play Developer Console. Here is the link for it's description: https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/
Does anyone know if Amazon has an open API for their Android AppStore?
Full disclosure: My team builds the Amazon Appstore SDK. Even though I work for A2Z, any opinions stated are my own, not my employer's.
As of the time of this answer, Amazon has a private beta for the In-App Purchase API. If you want access to the API, please fill out the form at:
http://developer.amazon.com/
You have to create an account to access the request form.
The current offerings for Developers that want to integrate Amazon into Applications can be found here. I have not seen a API for the Android App, or any other mobile App for that matter. Which would lead me to believe that they dont provide an API for that. I would suggest that you use the Web Service API, that may be able to work for you depending on what you are trying to do.
