In-App simple tutorial [closed]

Question

I want to use Google In-App billing for my Android Apps using Libgdx. By default, it is a free apps for everyone. Some of the features will be unlocked once user paid a small fee (lets assume $1), and all features will be unlocked if user paid the full price (assuming $2).

I have a read on official Google's Billing site but I have no idea how to link it to Libgdx. The Official Libgdx Site doesn't really provide any clear instruction and explanation.

As at today, I still have no idea on how to link both Libgdx and In-App Billing. Furthermore, where is the information being stored (is it in the preference file?) when user purchased the unlocked item? I have absolutely no idea.

It will be great if someone lead me to the right path.

Read about the Libgdx way for Interfacing with Platform Specific Code.

Basically, you need to implement the in-app billing support within your Android project, and then expose an API to your platform-independent code to access whatever state you need. There really isn't anything libgdx-specific about the result, the billing code will all exist in your Android back-end, so most existing Android documentation and tutorials should apply.

See this forum post for a few more details: http://www.badlogicgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2544

Also, when searching, in Libgdx-land this is often called "IAP" support (for "in-app purchasing").
