• Check IAP installation Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(
"com.sec.android.iap.service.iapService" );
Boolean flag = getPackageManager().queryIntentServices( serviceIntent, 0 ).isEmpty()
Step 1 IAP install check
• Check Samsung Account on the phone ComponentName com = new ComponentName(
"com.sec.android.iap",
"com.sec.android.iap.activity.AccountActivity" );
Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setComponent( com );
startActivityForResult(intent, 1001);
Step 2 Samsung Account check
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent( "com.sec.android.iap.service.iapService" );
bindService( serviceIntent, mServiceConn, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE );
Step 3 Bind with IAPConnector
Init() must be first called before any IAP operation.
Init() setups basic account payment information
Call it on separate thread to avoid ANR.
Bundle result = mIAPConnector.init( mMode );
Step 4 Setup IAPConnector
Call it on separate thread to avoid ANR.
Result is a Bundle along with a STATUS_CODE
Bundle itemList = mIAPConnector.getItemList( developerMode,
getPackageName(), _itemGroupId, _startIndexInList, _endIndexInList,
_itemType );
Step 5 Functions on IAPConnector
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString( "THIRD_PARTY_NAME", getPackageName() ); bundle.putString( "ITEM_GROUP_ID", _itemGroupId ); bundle.putString( "ITEM_ID", _itemId );
ComponentName com = new ComponentName( "com.sec.android.iap", "com.sec.android.iap.activity.PaymentMethodListActivity" ); Intent intent = new Intent( Intent.ACTION_MAIN ); intent.addCategory( Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER );
intent.setComponent( com ); intent.putExtras( bundle );
startActivityForResult( intent, 1000 );
Step 6 Purchase
Do Purchase in separate thread, to avoid ANR.
Returned result from purchase.
STATUS_CODE AND ERROR_STRING describe the outcome of purchase.
RESULT_OBJECT is a big JSON, which includes info such as purchaseID, purchase Date, price, item image etc.
Step 6 Purchase
Unbind IAPConnector and Service Connection Object.
This after all IAP operations are completed and to release the associated resources
unbindService( mServiceConn );
Step 7 Unbind IAPConnector
