New to Android dev and I have this very annoying, and familiar problem.
Short version: how can I test my app on multiple physical devices w/o buying them? Specifically, I'm trying to test on 4.1 and 4.2 running devices. I can't use an emulator because this involves in-app billing.
Long version:
Today, I got a crash report from a user (android version = 4.2, on device = A1-811 (mango)).
The issue is: IAB helper is not set up. Can't perform operation: queryInventory . I tested the app on 4.3, 5.0, 5.1 and it's fine.
I KNOW that the actual crash happened because I wasn't quitting when I was checking for (!result.isSuccess()) in mhelper.startSetup().
My question is, how do I solve the underlying issue of IabHelper not being set up?! I don't have access to Android 4.2 device...
MY CODE:
IabHelper.OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener mPurchaseFinishedListener = new IabHelper.OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener () {
public void onIabPurchaseFinished (IabResult result, Purchase purchase) {
if (mHelper == null)
return;
if (result.isFailure ()) {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Google's response is a failure.");
} else {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Response is successful. purchase.getSKU = " + purchase.getSku ());
premium = true;
}
}
};
IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener mQueryFinishedListener = new IabHelper.QueryInventoryFinishedListener () {
public void onQueryInventoryFinished (IabResult result, Inventory inventory) {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Processing Google's response.");
// Check if user has existing purchase.
if (result.isFailure ()) {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Google's response is a failure. Response = ");
} else {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Google's response is success! getPurchase() = " + inventory.getPurchase (THE_SKU));
if (inventory.getPurchase (THE_SKU) == null) {
premium = false;
} else {
premium = inventory.getPurchase (THE_SKU).getSku ().equals (THE_SKU);
}
}
// Show price if user is not premium, thank you note if the user is premium
if (premium == true) {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "3 premium = " + premium);
priceView.setText ("Thank you for the purchase!");
} else {
if (inventory != null) {
String pro_price = inventory.getSkuDetails (THE_SKU).getPrice ();
priceView.setText ("" + pro_price);
}
}
}
};
private void startPurchaseQuery () {
String base64EncodedPublicKey = "the key is generated ...";
mHelper = new IabHelper (this, base64EncodedPublicKey);
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Purchase query started.");
mHelper.startSetup (new IabHelper.OnIabSetupFinishedListener () {
public void onIabSetupFinished (IabResult result) {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "IabHelper Setup successful. Querying inventory.");
if (!result.isSuccess ()) {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Error with IabHelper setup.");
return;
}
if (mHelper == null) return;
// IAB is fully set up. Now, let's get an inventory of stuff we own.
// Build the SKU list
List<String> additionalSkuList;
additionalSkuList = new ArrayList<String> ();
additionalSkuList.add (THE_SKU);
// Make the query
mHelper.queryInventoryAsync (true, additionalSkuList, mQueryFinishedListener);
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "Query finished. Premium status = " + premium);
}
});
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult (int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "onActivityResult(" + requestCode + "," + resultCode + "," + data);
// Pass on the activity result to the helper for handling
if (!mHelper.handleActivityResult (requestCode, resultCode, data)) {
// not handled, so handle it ourselves (here's where you'd
// perform any handling of activity results not related to in-app
// billing...
super.onActivityResult (requestCode, resultCode, data);
} else {
Log.d (PURCHASE_TAG, "onActivityResult handled by IABUtil.");
}
}
@Override
public void onDestroy () {
super.onDestroy ();
if (mHelper != null) mHelper.dispose ();
mHelper = null;
}
