Currently I Am developing an magazine reader app. In my app I want to provide the Subscription facility where user can have monthly subscriptions. I am having a doubt that is there a subscription facility in android market. I went through the Google docs.I fond that now its not available. But still I am having a doubt and little bit confused. Can any one tell me about this. Any help will be appreciated.I really want to clarify this for the further movement.
Yes, there is an API that facilitates subscription. It's called In-app Billing and it's one of the most difficult to use payment APIs I ever encountered.
The subscription based payment model was recently announced, and as Bill The Ape has said, it is quite difficult to use and understand.
Some useful links:
In-app billing overview
Implementing in-app billing with a tutorial
Implementing subscriptions
You can play around with the sample application, and re-use bits for your own app. If you do, make sure you read this so that the app is secure.
What you're looking for is:
https://developer.android.com/guide/google/play/billing/billing_subscriptions.html
I actually disagree with Bill The Ape. The documentation and sample code is pretty decent. Google has a sample application that demonstrates subscriptions. The only issue is testing subscriptions, that's where there's very little support

As you may know Google Play in-app review dialog is an upcoming feature
Here is a working proof of concept app : IAR Test App
I wanted to use this unofficial feature, I did a search and I found this:
Exploring in-app reviews: part 1
But there is no decompiled source code, Can someone share with us a working code?
Google Play's In-App Reviews is now available here.
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.
At the risk of this question being marked 'research' or 'too broad', I am placing this question here with the research I have done so far (to count as background work), especially since I have been researching this for a while but have not found a good turnkey solution. thank you for your inputs!
I want to make Turn Based Multiplayer Game. I found Google Play Game Services but that only works with Google+ Login: https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/turnbasedMultiplayer
How do I do the same with Facebook login? Can Google Play Game Services be used with Facebook friends?
In my research, the other option I found is nextpeer.com, but not sure if they can do a turn by turn based. I think i have to send player to player messages directly to achieve the turn based player, dont want to do that.
EDIT: After I posted the question, i found Android Games Tutorial with Facebook SDK - trying to understand if turn based game can be done using Facebook SDK.
Can it?
Disclaimer: I am a Nextpeer employee.
Hi,
Nextpeer does not offer a turn based solution at the moment. However, we do have an asynchronous gaming mode in our Facebook matches mode. In this mode players can either play synchronously together or asynchronously. In the second case, a player can play and the recording of his gameplay will be played to his opponents when they choose to play. Does this answer your need?
I'll be glad to discuss further privately, just email us at support#nextpeer.com and ask to talk to Dror.
I have been looking for a solution on similar lines aswell, and I guess we have a solution that can be helpful for others as well. Just looking forward to integrate it. You can find the required documentation here
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

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.
