I'm trying to integrate the Paypal API
to make my app donation based. I have two questions:
I can see the button, I click it but it doesn't do anything! (the activity for checkoutIntent doesn't fire?)
What are your experiences with donation based android apps? I want to make about $250 a month of this thing, is that even possible?
public class Donate extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
PayPal ppObj = PayPal.initWithAppID(this.getBaseContext(), "APP-80W284485P519543T", PayPal.ENV_SANDBOX);
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.donate);
LinearLayout mainLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.LinearLayout01);
if (ppObj == null) ppObj = PayPal.initWithAppID(this.getBaseContext(), "APP-80W284485P519543T", PayPal.ENV_SANDBOX);
CheckoutButton payPalButton = (CheckoutButton) ppObj.getPaymentButton(PayPal.BUTTON_294x45, this, PayPal.PAYMENT_TYPE_HARD_GOODS);
payPalButton.setOnClickListener(this);
mainLayout.addView(payPalButton);
}
public void onClick(View arg0) {
PayPalPayment newPayment = new PayPalPayment();
newPayment.setAmount((float) 1.00);
newPayment.setCurrency("USD");
newPayment.setRecipient("example@example.com");
Intent checkoutIntent = new Intent(this, PayPalActivity.class);
checkoutIntent.putExtra(PayPalActivity.EXTRA_PAYMENT_INFO, newPayment);
this.startActivityForResult(checkoutIntent, 1);
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
Intent menuIntent = new Intent(Donate.this, MTGTools.class);
this.startActivity(menuIntent);
}
}
