Android Question SERVICE_DISCONNECTED when calling LaunchBillingFlow

[pacpinto]

Hi,

I've been developing an app using the in-app-purchases library:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/googleplaybilling-in-app-purchases.109945/

I am able to connect, get purchases and query SKUs, but am now stuck when trying to buy a SKU. This code

Sub buy_sku(sku As String)
    Wait For (Starter.billing.ConnectIfNeeded) Billing_Connected (Result As BillingResult)
    If Result.IsSuccess Then
        Dim sf As Object = Starter.billing.QuerySkuDetails("inapp", Array(sku))
        Wait For (sf) Billing_SkuQueryCompleted (Result As BillingResult, SkuDetails As List)
        If Result.IsSuccess And SkuDetails.Size = 1 Then
            Result = Starter.billing.LaunchBillingFlow(SkuDetails.Get(0))
            If Result.IsSuccess Then Return
        End If
    End If
    ToastMessageShow("Error starting billing process", True)
End Sub

is always returning this:

BillingResult IsSuccess = False, ResponseCode = SERVICE_DISCONNECTED
Debug string: Service connection is disconnected.

This is actually returned twice, once from the LaunchBillingFlow call and again in the PurchasesUpdated event (which gets called anyway?).
I am sure the SKU is correct. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Ok, fixed it myself. Just in case anyone has the same issue, here's the fix.
After adding the line

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, GooglePlayBilling.GooglePlayBilling)

in the manifest editor, it now works like a charm.
Maybe there should be a mention of this somewhere in the library documentation...

This is step #1:

GooglePlayBilling - In App Purchases

GooglePlayBilling is based on the new in app purchases service: https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/billing_library_overview Usage instructions: 1. Add to the manifest editor: CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, GooglePlayBilling.GooglePlayBilling) 2. Create a BillingClient object in...

Ooops I'm very sorry. Looks like I had a temporary blindness or something, maybe caused by too much work!
I even went back to your post to double check before posting. Anyway I am truly sorry I didn't read it right yesterday, it would have saved me hours of fiddling around.

No problem. Happens to all of us
