Android: In app billing, using library or not? [closed]

Tags:

in-app-billing

in-app-purchase

I have just created the Android in-app billing example from the docs, and its all working well. When it comes to implementing the examples code into my own application it all seems very complicated / scary. I'm unsure whether to go ahead with it without fully understanding how it works. Has anyone used this library? Android in-app billing library

How reliable and stable is that code? Anyone encountered any problems?

I wrote the library.

Has anyone used this library?

Yes, many people do. That is a good thing because it reduces the likelihood of major bugs. And a bad thing because it makes your app more vulnerable to bypass billing.

How reliable and stable is that code?

Check it out yourself. If you don't understand the code, you shouldn't be using it anyway.

In any case, using the library as a starting point should be better than starting from scratch.

Anyone encountered any problems?

Check out the issues.
