Android Question GooglePlayBilling for V7.8?

[Quillok]

Hey,

is it possible to use the library for older Versions of B4A?
When I try to compile the Billing example, i've got an error in the following sub:

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)
    Service.StopAutomaticForeground 'Starter service can start in the foreground state in some edge cases.
End Sub

StopAutomaticForeground is unkown in 7.8

When loading the example there is a notification that this module is from a newer version an my run improperly.

So i'm confused... am i not be able to use this library for in app purchases?

Is there an alternative that I can use or do?

Thanks in Advance

My guess would be to just comment out the Service.StopAutomaticForeground line & see if it works. That piece of code doesn't have anything specifically to do with GooglePlayBilling.

You should probably read this tutorial -> https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/automatic-foreground-mode.90546/

I tried this already but then there is this error:

B4A Version: 7.80
Parsing code. (0.01s)
Compiling code. Error
The object reference was not set to an object instance. [Translated from German: Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt.]

But there is no hint in the logs (there are no logs) where this error comes from, so I guessed the library can't be used with 7.8 and because of this, this post ^^

I don't see anything in the GooglePlayBilling tutorial that says it can't be used in v7.80. Maybe if you zip up your project & post it, or post a small project that reproduces the issue, we might have something to go on.

I'm using the BillingExample of the GooglePlayBilling Tutorial... nothing more. Opened it, tried to compile it and got the error :/

The example compiles fine in B4A v9.50 (both with & without the Service.StopAutomaticForeground), so maybe it is the version of B4A you're running. Why don't you just upgrade to v9.50? There have been a lot of features added since v7.80.

My problem is, that I'm very unsure that I will get the costs for upgrading back by these in app purchases I can offer then... This is only a hobby for my and since I am the only money earner of a family of 4, I unfortunately have to pay close attention to every money spending :/

Maybe I've saved enough when version 10 of b4a comes
