Android Question In App Billing (Querying for Purchased Items)

[tucano2000]

Is there an equivalent method to the code below into B4A using InAppBilling3 library to retrieve information about purchases made by the user from your app ?

Bundle ownedItems = mService.getPurchases(3, getPackageName(), "inapp", null);

int response = ownedItems.getInt("RESPONSE_CODE");
if (response == 0) {
   ArrayList<String> ownedSkus =
      ownedItems.getStringArrayList("INAPP_PURCHASE_ITEM_LIST");
   ArrayList<String>  purchaseDataList =
      ownedItems.getStringArrayList("INAPP_PURCHASE_DATA_LIST");
   ArrayList<String>  signatureList =
      ownedItems.getStringArrayList("INAPP_DATA_SIGNATURE");
   String continuationToken =
      ownedItems.getString("INAPP_CONTINUATION_TOKEN");
  
   for (int i = 0; i < purchaseDataList.size(); ++i) {
      String purchaseData = purchaseDataList.get(i);
      String signature = signatureList.get(i);
      String sku = ownedSkus.get(i);
 
      // do something with this purchase information
      // e.g. display the updated list of products owned by user
   }

   // if continuationToken != null, call getPurchases again
   // and pass in the token to retrieve more items
}

See Manager.GetOwnedProducts.

I used Manager.GetOwnedProducts, but this only returns Products (Purchases) if I buy something in the same session that I have opened the application.

See what I did in my code.

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("teste")
  If FirstTime Then
      manager.Initialize("manager", key)
      manager.DebugLogging = True

  End If
End Sub

Sub Manager_BillingSupported (Supported As Boolean, Message As String)
  Log(Supported & ", " & Message)
  Log("Subscriptions supported: " & manager.SubscriptionsSupported)
  If Supported Then
          manager.GetOwnedProducts
  End If
End Sub

Sub manager_OwnedProducts (Success As Boolean, purchases As Map)
    Log("manager_OwnedProducts Success = " & Success)
    Log("purchases size = " & purchases.Size)
    If Success  Then
        For Each k As String In purchases.Keys
             Log(k)
        Next
    End If
End Sub

The above code returns zero . It is as if I had not bought anything or signed anything. What am I doing wrong ?

I need to check if a subscription has expired every time you open the application.

In the documentation of google says:

To query for active subscriptions, use the getPurchases method, again with the product type parameter set to "subs".

Bundle activeSubs = mService.getPurchases(3,"com.example.myapp",
"subs", continueToken);

The call returns a Bundle with all the active subscriptions owned by the user. Once a subscription expires without renewal, it will no longer appear in the returned Bundle.

GetOwnedProducts should return all the owned products (not including consumed products). The "session" doesn't matter.

Ok Erel, then how I can check to check if the subscription has expired using InAppBilling3 ? Is possible ? There is another method ?

 

[ivan.tellez]

GetOwnedProducts is for managed purchases, a subscription will not be listed calling GetOwnedProducts.

 

[tucano2000]

GetOwnedProducts is for managed purchases, a subscription will not be listed calling GetOwnedProducts.

How do I make managing subscriptions ?

 

[Erel]

GetOwnedProducts should return subscriptions as well.

Finally I'm getting use InAppBilling3 library to retrieve information of purchased products or subscriptions. Now how do I get the Server Response Codes when the user tries to buy a product and no success ?

_PurchaseCompleted event only returns state success true or false. I need the other server response as well:
