Stripe-android: Add the billing address to the AddPaymentMethodActivity

[jose-t]

Summary

On iOS, when we add a card, the SDK offers to fill in the billing address that will be attached to the new card but on Android there is no such feature.

SDK version

12.5.0

Other information

I have found the PaymentMethod.BillingDetails.Builder but we can not attach it to the PaymentMethodsActivityStarter. It is only for the PaymentFlowActivityStarter.

Maybe the PaymentMethodsActivityStarter.Args could have two additional methods:

• setShouldRequireBillingAddress(state: Boolean) to display into the AddPaymentMethodActivity a BillingInfoWidget similar to ShippingInfoWidget.
• setBillingAddress(address: BillingDetails) to preset data.

@jose-t thanks for the suggestion. We'll explore adding this functionality.

I agree this is necessary - currently in Android a customer can add their card details, but if they don't have an existing billing address associated with their account, attempting to charge the card for a subscription results in a 'Card XXX not ready to charge'

If you only need postal code, you can require it currently in the SDK by using:

paymentSession.presentPaymentMethodSelection(true)

I need a billing address foreach new card. Maybe the user can attach a billing address to a new card but I didn't find a way to do it.

Need the feature badly! Any way to get the billing information for now without an official build?

[gadget-man]

I've lost several customers of the last week because the Android app comes up with an error 'Card not ready to charge' as there are no billing details.

Is there a timescale for this to get incorporated, or a work-around in the interim?

I have put up a PR to add support for this feature. See #1956 for more details.

This is now available in 12.8.0
