# [Deprecated] Checkout (Android In-App Billing Library)

The libary is not actively maintained and no new verions are planned in the future. Use [the official billing libary](https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/integrate) instead.

## Description

**Checkout** is an implementation of [Android In-App Billing API (v3+)](http://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/api.html).
Its main goal is to make integration of in-app products as simple and
straightforward as possible: developers should not spend much time on
implementing boring In-App Billing API but should focus on more important
things - their apps. With this in mind, the library was designed to be
fast, flexible and secure.

**Current version:** 1.3.2

### Why?

**Checkout** solves common problems that developers face while working
with billing on Android, such as:
- How to cancel all billing requests when Activity is destroyed?
- How to query purchase information in the background?
See also [Querying for Items Available for Purchase](http://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/billing_integrate.html#QueryDetails)
- How to verify a purchase?
See also [Security And Design](http://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/billing_best_practices.html)
- How to load all the purchases using `continuationToken` or SKU
details (one request is limited by 20 items)?
- How to add billing with a minimum amount of boilerplate code?

**Checkout** can be used with any dependency injection framework or
without it. It has a clear distinction of a functionality available in
different contexts: purchase can be done only from `Activity` while
SKU information can be loaded in `Service` or `Application`.
Moreover, it has a good test coverage and is continuously build on Travis
CI: [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/serso/android-checkout.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/serso/android-checkout)

## Getting started

### Setup

- Gradle/Android Studio in `build.gradle`:
```groovy
implementation 'org.solovyev.android:checkout:1.3.2'
```
**Note:** if you get the following warning
> Conflict with dependency 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305'. Resolved versions for app (a.b.c) and test app (x.y.z) differ.

you should change the dependencies of `com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core` to
```groovy
androidTestImplementation('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:x.y.z', {
// use version of jsr305 provided by Checkout
exclude group: 'com.google.code.findbugs', module: 'jsr305'
})
```
See [Android Studio](http://g.co/androidstudio/app-test-app-conflict) and [Gradle](https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.artifacts.ResolutionStrategy.html) documentation for details.
- Maven in `pom.xml`:
```xml

org.solovyev.android
checkout
1.3.2
aar

```
- Download sources from github and either copy them to your project or import them as a project dependency
- Download artifacts from the [repository](https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/org/solovyev/android/checkout/)

### Tutorial

A tutorial for the sample app is available on [Medium](https://medium.com/@se.solovyev/implementing-in-app-billing-in-android-4896232c7d6b).
Take a look if you prefer step-by-step guides over documentation.

### Example

Say there is an app that contains one in-app product with "sku_01" id.
Then `Application` class might look like this:
```java
public class MyApplication extends Application {

private static MyApplication sInstance;

private final Billing mBilling = new Billing(this, new Billing.DefaultConfiguration() {
@Override
public String getPublicKey() {
return "Your public key, don't forget about encryption";
}
});

public MyApplication() {
sInstance = this;
}

public static MyApplication get() {
return sInstance;
}

public Billing getBilling() {
return mBilling;
}
}
```
And `Activity` class like this:
```java
public class MyActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener {

private class PurchaseListener extends EmptyRequestListener {
@Override
public void onSuccess(Purchase purchase) {
// here you can process the loaded purchase
}

@Override
public void onError(int response, Exception e) {
// handle errors here
}
}

private class InventoryCallback implements Inventory.Callback {
@Override
public void onLoaded(Inventory.Products products) {
// your code here
}
}

private final ActivityCheckout mCheckout = Checkout.forActivity(this, MyApplication.get().getBilling());
private Inventory mInventory;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mCheckout.start();

mCheckout.createPurchaseFlow(new PurchaseListener());

mInventory = mCheckout.makeInventory();
mInventory.load(Inventory.Request.create()
.loadAllPurchases()
.loadSkus(ProductTypes.IN_APP, "sku_01"), new InventoryCallback());
}

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
mCheckout.stop();
super.onDestroy();
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
mCheckout.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mCheckout.whenReady(new Checkout.EmptyListener() {
@Override
public void onReady(BillingRequests requests) {
requests.purchase(ProductTypes.IN_APP, "sku_01", null, mCheckout.getPurchaseFlow());
}
});
}
}
```

## Advanced usage

### Samples

A sample app is available on [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.solovyev.android.checkout.app) ([source code](https://github.com/serso/android-checkout/tree/master/app)).
There is also a tutorial for it on [Medium](https://medium.com/@se.solovyev/implementing-in-app-billing-in-android-4896232c7d6b).

### Building from the sources

**Checkout** is built by Gradle. The project structure and build procedure
are standard for Android libraries. An environmental variable ANDROID_HOME
must be set before building and should point to Android SDK installation
folder (f.e. /opt/android/sdk).
Please refer to [Gradle User Guide](http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide) for more information about the building.

### Classes overview

**Checkout** contains three main classes: [Billing](https://github.com/serso/android-checkout/blob/master/lib/src/main/java/org/solovyev/android/checkout/Billing.java), [Checkout](https://github.com/serso/android-checkout/blob/master/lib/src/main/java/org/solovyev/android/checkout/Checkout.java) and [Inventory](https://github.com/serso/android-checkout/blob/master/lib/src/main/java/org/solovyev/android/checkout/Inventory.java).

**Billing** is a core class of **Checkout**'s implementation of the
billing API. It is responsible for:
- connecting and disconnecting to the [billing service](https://github.com/serso/android-checkout/blob/master/lib/src/main/aidl/com/android/vending/billing/IInAppBillingService.aidl)
- performing [billing requests](https://github.com/serso/android-checkout/blob/master/lib/src/main/java/org/solovyev/android/checkout/BillingRequests.java)
- caching the requests results
- creating [Checkout](https://github.com/serso/android-checkout/blob/master/lib/src/main/java/org/solovyev/android/checkout/Checkout.java) objects
- logging

Only one instance of **Billing** should be used in the app in order to
avoid multiple connections to the billing service. Though this class
might be used directly it's easier to work with [Checkout](https://github.com/serso/android-checkout/blob/master/lib/src/main/java/org/solovyev/android/checkout/Checkout.java)
instead.

**Checkout** is a middle tier of the library. It uses **Billing** in a
certain context, e.g. in `Application`, `Activity` or `Service`,
checks whether billing is supported and executes the requests. [ActivityCheckout](https://github.com/serso/android-checkout/blob/master/lib/src/main/java/org/solovyev/android/checkout/ActivityCheckout.java)
is a subclass capable of purchasing items.

**Inventory** loads information about products, SKUs and purchases. Its
lifecycle is bound to the lifecycle of **Checkout** in which it was created.

### Purchase verification

By default, **Checkout** uses simple purchase verification algorithm (see
[DefaultPurchaseVerifier](https://github.com/serso/android-checkout/blob/master/lib/src/main/java/org/solovyev/android/checkout/DefaultPurchaseVerifier.java)). As explained in [Android documentation](http://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/billing_best_practices.html#sign)
it's better to verify purchases on a remote server. **Checkout** allows
you to provide your own [PurchaseVerifier](https://github.com/serso/android-checkout/blob/master/lib/src/main/java/org/solovyev/android/checkout/PurchaseVerifier.java) via `Billing.Configuration#getPurchaseVerifier`.
[BasePurchaseVerifier](https://github.com/serso/android-checkout/blob/master/lib/src/main/java/org/solovyev/android/checkout/BasePurchaseVerifier.java) can be used as a base class for purchase verifiers that
should be executed on a background thread.

### Proguard

Library's proguard rules are automatically added to the app project by
Gradle. You can declare them explicitly by copying the contents of [proguard-rules.txt](https://github.com/serso/android-checkout/blob/master/lib/proguard-rules.txt)
to your proguard configuration.
