Android-inapp-billing-v3: Purchases are not loaded on other devices

Created on 22 Nov 2018 · 3Comments · Source: anjlab/android-inapp-billing-v3

Report a bug.

What is the current behavior?

The application has 5 buttons of payment, method "purchase" and I am having complaints that the purchases do not load themselves after changing the device.

Example:

1.- Client downloads the application and purchases the full version.
2.- Client changes the device with the same gpay account.
3.- Client downloads the application in the new device. The previous payment is not restored. With what the client must buy again.

Don't forget to mention:

which version of library you use: v1.0.44
was it working in previous versions? Use this version from the beginning.
do you use fragments or not: no.
how do you instanciate BillingProcessor (singleton or not): Use the attached example exactly, just edit the "updateTextViews". Example:

` private void updateTextViews() {

    if (bp.isPurchased(PRODUCT_ID)) {
        btnBuyAds.setEnabled(false);
        mAdView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        if (!btnBuyAds.isEnabled() || !btnBuyList.isEnabled() || !btnBuyMassive.isEnabled() || !btnBuySLList.isEnabled()){
            btnBuyFull.setEnabled(false);
        }
    }

which device/OS version do you use for testing (or its an emulator): Emulador y:
Nexus 6P (Android 8.1.0)
Xiaomi Mi A2 (Android 8.1.0)
Samsung Grand Prime (Android 5.1)
Asus ZenPad (Android 5.1)
Asus ZenPhone2 (Android 6.0.1)
have you uploaded it to Google Play or not (if yes, when which channel: Prod/Beta/Alpha): Yes, Prod.
do you test with real products, or with a testing onces (e.g. android.test.purchased): Real products.

@KRIPT4 I assume that you are talking about Non-Consumable managed in-app product. In that case did you tried checking the purchase status against your products in the following method like,

    /*
    * Called when purchase history was restored and the list of all owned PRODUCT ID's 
    * was loaded from Google Play
    */
 @Override
  public void onPurchaseHistoryRestored() {
   checkPurchases();
  }

  /*
    * Called when BillingProcessor was initialized and it's ready to purchase 
    */
 @Override
  public void onBillingInitialized() {
   checkPurchases();
  }

private void checkPurchases() {
  if (bp.loadOwnedPurchasesFromGoogle()) {
                final List<String> ownedProducts = bp.listOwnedProducts();
                for (String product : ownedProducts) {
                    if (product.equalsIgnoreCase(PRODUCT_ID)) {
                            setUnlockedVersion(true); // purchase found
                            return;
                                       }
                }

              setUnlockedVersion(false); // no purchase found
}

Also, if everything done right, user cannot purchase same the non-consumable product again. They will get an error "Product Already Owned". Take a look at that. If anything else reply, I will try to do my best...

@jpvs0101 I have the same issue. Bought an in app purchase managed product (one time) on one device, it's not loaded on the other. I debugged into your library and found that it's not being returned by billingService.getPurchases.
EDIT: After restarting the device and after clearing the play services cache (completely) I showed up. NOT on the first try but after a few minutes after re trying. Strange.
