Android Play V3 Querying for Purchased Items

Querying for Purchased Items

To retrieve information about purchases made by a user from your app, call the getPurchases method on the In-app Billing Version 3 service. Pass in to the method the In-app Billing API version (“3”), the package name of your calling app, and the purchase type (“inapp” or "subs").

Bundle ownedItems = mService.getPurchases(3, getPackageName(), "inapp", null);

The Google Play service returns only the purchases made by the user account that is currently logged in to the device. If the request is successful, the returned Bundle has a response code of 0. The response Bundle also contains a list of the product IDs, a list of the order details for each purchase, and the signatures for each purchase.

To improve performance, the In-app Billing service returns only up to 700 products that are owned by the user when getPurchase is first called. If the user owns a large number of products, Google Play includes a String token mapped to the key INAPP_CONTINUATION_TOKEN in the response Bundle to indicate that more products can be retrieved. Your application can then make a subsequent getPurchases call, and pass in this token as an argument. Google Play continues to return a continuation token in the response Bundle until all products that are owned by the user has been sent to your app.

For more information about the data returned by getPurchases, see In-app Billing Reference. The following example shows how you can retrieve this data from the response.

int response = ownedItems.getInt("RESPONSE_CODE");
if (response == 0) {
   ArrayList ownedSkus = 
      ownedItems.getStringArrayList("INAPP_PURCHASE_ITEM_LIST");
   ArrayList purchaseDataList = 
      ownedItems.getStringArrayList("INAPP_PURCHASE_DATA_LIST");
   ArrayList signatureList = 
      ownedItems.getStringArrayList("INAPP_DATA_SIGNATURE");
   String continuationToken = 
      ownedItems.getString("INAPP_CONTINUATION_TOKEN");
   
   for (int i = 0; i < purchaseDataList.size(); ++i) {
      String purchaseData = purchaseDataList.get(i);
      String signature = signatureList.get(i);
      String sku = ownedSkus.get(i);
  
      // do something with this purchase information
      // e.g. display the updated list of products owned by user
   } 

   // if continuationToken != null, call getPurchases again 
   // and pass in the token to retrieve more items
}
