Android Play V3 Purchasing an Item

Purchasing an Item

To start a purchase request from your app, call the getBuyIntent method on the In-app Billing service. Pass in to the method the In-app Billing API version (“3”), the package name of your calling app, the product ID for the item to purchase, the purchase type (“inapp” or "subs"), and a developerPayload String. The developerPayload String is used to specify any additional arguments that you want Google Play to send back along with the purchase information.

Bundle buyIntentBundle = mService.getBuyIntent(3, getPackageName(),
   sku, "inapp", "bGoa+V7g/yqDXvKRqq+JTFn4uQZbPiQJo4pf9RzJ");

If the request is successful, the returned Bundle has a response code of BILLING_RESPONSE_RESULT_OK (0) and aPendingIntent that you can use to start the purchase flow. To see all the possible response codes from Google Play, see In-app Billing Reference. Next, extract a PendingIntent from the response Bundle with key BUY_INTENT.

PendingIntent pendingIntent = buyIntentBundle.getParcelable("BUY_INTENT");

To complete the purchase transaction, call the startIntentSenderForResult method and use the PendingIntentthat you created. In this example, you are using an arbitrary value of 1001 for the request code.

startIntentSenderForResult(pendingIntent.getIntentSender(),
   1001, new Intent(), Integer.valueOf(0), Integer.valueOf(0),
   Integer.valueOf(0));

Google Plays sends a response to your PendingIntent to the onActivityResult method of your application. TheonActivityResult method will have a result code of Activity.RESULT_OK (1) or Activity.RESULT_CANCELED (0). To see the types of order information that is returned in the response Intent, see In-app Billing Reference.

The purchase data for the order is a String in JSON format that is mapped to the INAPP_PURCHASE_DATA key in the response Intent, for example:

'{ 
   "orderId":"12999763169054705758.1371079406387615", 
   "packageName":"com.example.app",
   "productId":"exampleSku",
   "purchaseTime":1345678900000,
   "purchaseState":0,
   "developerPayload":"bGoa+V7g/yqDXvKRqq+JTFn4uQZbPiQJo4pf9RzJ",
   "purchaseToken":"rojeslcdyyiapnqcynkjyyjh"
 }'

Continuing from the previous example, you get the response code, purchase data, and signature from the response Intent.

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { 
   if (requestCode == 1001) {           
      int responseCode = data.getIntExtra("RESPONSE_CODE", 0);
      String purchaseData = data.getStringExtra("INAPP_PURCHASE_DATA");
      String dataSignature = data.getStringExtra("INAPP_DATA_SIGNATURE");
        
      if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
         try {
            JSONObject jo = new JSONObject(purchaseData);
            String sku = jo.getString("productId");
            alert("You have bought the " + sku + ". Excellent choice, 
               adventurer!");
          }
          catch (JSONException e) {
             alert("Failed to parse purchase data.");
             e.printStackTrace();
          }
      }
   }
}
