Current version: 0.4.7
Though In-App Billing Version 3 is much easier to use than Version 2 there are still some things you have to face while integrating it, like:
- Concurrency, see, for example, warning in Querying for Items Available for Purchase
- Security, see Security And Design
- Say it right! (Google Play)
- Calculator++ (Google Play, sources)
There are several ways how you can get the library:
- Download sources from github and either copy them to your project or import them as a project dependency
- For Maven users:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.solovyev.android</groupId>
<artifactId>checkout</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
</dependency>- For Gradle users:
compile 'org.solovyev.android:checkout:x.x.x@aar'- Download artifacts from the repository
Checkout requires com.android.vending.BILLING permission in runtime.
If you use Checkout as a library project then nothing should be done - permission will be merged automatically during
the manifest merging step. In any other cases you need to include it into your application's manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.BILLING" />Checkout contains 3 classes which likely to be used in any app: Billing, Checkout and Inventory. The code for the project with one in-app product might look like this:
public class MyApplication extends Application {
/**
* For better performance billing class should be used as singleton
*/
@Nonnull
private final Billing billing = new Billing(this, new Billing.Configuration() {
@Nonnull
@Override
public String getPublicKey() {
return "Your public key, don't forget to encrypt it somehow";
}
@Nullable
@Override
public Cache getCache() {
return Billing.newCache();
}
});
/**
* Application wide {@link org.solovyev.android.checkout.Checkout} instance (can be used anywhere in the app).
* This instance contains all available products in the app.
*/
@Nonnull
private final Checkout checkout = Checkout.forApplication(billing, Products.create().add(IN_APP, asList("product")));
@Nonnull
private static MyApplication instance;
public MyApplication() {
instance = this;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
billing.connect();
}
public static MyApplication get() {
return instance;
}
@Nonnull
public Checkout getCheckout() {
return checkout;
}
//...
}public class MyActivity extends Activity {
@Nonnull
private final ActivityCheckout checkout = Checkout.forActivity(this, MyApplication.get().getCheckout());
@Nonnull
private Inventory inventory;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
checkout.start();
// you only need this if this activity starts purchase process
checkout.createPurchaseFlow(new PurchaseListener());
// you only need this if this activity needs information about purchases/SKUs
inventory = checkout.loadInventory();
inventory.whenLoaded(new InventoryLoadedListener())
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
checkout.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
checkout.stop();
super.onDestroy();
}
//...
}Checkout sample app on Google Play. Sources are available here.
Checkout is built by Gradle. The project structure and build procedure are standard for Android libraries. Please refer to Gradle User Guide for more information about building.
Android Studio/IDEA project configuration files are also checked into the repository. Use "File->Open..." to open the project.
Checkout contains 3 main classes: Billing, Checkout and Inventory.
Billing class is the main controller which:
- connects to the Billing service
- executes all incoming requests (and caches responses)
- provides access to BillingRequests It should be used as a singleton in order to avoid several connections to the Billing service. Though this class might be used directly usually it's better to interact with Checkout.
Checkout provides access to Billing for set of products. It checks if billing is supported and executes requests if it is ready. ActivityCheckout is a subclass which also provides access to PurchaseFlow.
Inventory contains static information abouts products, purchases and SKUs. It should be reloaded every time the purchase state is changed in order to be actual.
You need to include the contents of proguard rules into your proguard configuration.
