I'm implementing in-app billing where the user shall be able to buy access to premium content. This is typical non-consumable items. (Let's say the premium content is extra questions or categories in an question-app)
I have used this tutorial to create the first version. The problem is how I shall implement the non-consumable part..
How do I know that the user has bought the premium content? One solution I'm think of is to have a column in my question-table that is initially "0". When the user buy premium access, the this column is set to "1". Is this a way to go?
Where in my code do I get the message from the billing API that the content is already bought? (If it is..)
My code.. (From tutorial, "buy the possibility to click a button")
public class BuyExtras extends Activity {
private static final String TAG = "inAppBilling";
static final String ITEM_SKU = "android.test.purchased";
IabHelper mHelper;
private Button clickButton;
private Button buyButton;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Log.i(TAG, "onCreate CALLED");
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_buy_extras);
buyButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buyButton);
clickButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.clickButton);
clickButton.setEnabled(false);
String base64EncodedPublicKey =
"<myKey>";
mHelper = new IabHelper(this, base64EncodedPublicKey);
mHelper.startSetup(new IabHelper.OnIabSetupFinishedListener() {
public void onIabSetupFinished(IabResult result)
{
if (!result.isSuccess()) {
Log.d(TAG, "In-app Billing setup failed: " +
result);
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "In-app Billing is set up OK");
}
}
});
}
public void buyClick(View view) {
mHelper.launchPurchaseFlow(this, ITEM_SKU, 10001, mPurchaseFinishedListener, "mypurchasetoken");
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
if (!mHelper.handleActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
}
IabHelper.OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener mPurchaseFinishedListener = new IabHelper.OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener() {
public void onIabPurchaseFinished(IabResult result, Purchase purchase)
{
if (result.isFailure()) {
// Handle error
return;
}
else if (purchase.getSku().equals(ITEM_SKU)) {
consumeItem();
buyButton.setEnabled(false);
}
}
};
public void consumeItem() {
mHelper.queryInventoryAsync(mReceivedInventoryListener);
}
IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener mReceivedInventoryListener = new IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener() {
public void onQueryInventoryFinished(IabResult result, Inventory inventory) {
if (result.isFailure()) {
// Handle failure
} else {
mHelper.consumeAsync(inventory.getPurchase(ITEM_SKU), mConsumeFinishedListener);
}
}
};
IabHelper.OnConsumeFinishedListener mConsumeFinishedListener = new IabHelper.OnConsumeFinishedListener() {
public void onConsumeFinished(Purchase purchase, IabResult result) {
if (result.isSuccess()) {
clickButton.setEnabled(true);
} else {
// handle error
}
}
};
public void buttonClicked (View view)
{
clickButton.setEnabled(false);
buyButton.setEnabled(true);
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if (mHelper != null) mHelper.dispose();
mHelper = null;
}
}
I read this question indicating that I not should call the
mHelper.consumeAsync(purchase, mConsumeFinishedListener);
But is just removing it ok? Where should I handle the case that the user tries a second buy?
