Reactive In-App Billing on Android

Presented at DevFest Greece 2015

2. Reactive In-App Billing An In-App Billing API with RxJava Edward Dale Freeletics GmbH
3. Motivation • Our app uses RxJava for async operations • Except In-app billing • Crashes in IAB code
4. Agenda • In-App Billing • IabHelper • RxJava • Going Reactive
5. In-App Billing • Google Play service that lets you sell digital content from inside your applications • Google Play handles all checkout details • Any application that you publish through Google Play can implement In-app Billing • Other stores (Amazon, etc) have similar APIs http://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/index.html
6. In-App Billing Your App Google Play App Google Play Server IPC Binder Magic
7. package com.android.vending.billing; interface IInAppBillingService { int isBillingSupported(int apiVersion, String packageName, String type); . . AIDL
8. package com.android.vending.billing; interface IInAppBillingService { . . Bundle getSkuDetails(int apiVersion, String packageName, String type, in Bundle skusBundle); . . AIDL
9. package com.android.vending.billing; interface IInAppBillingService { . . Bundle getBuyIntent(int apiVersion, String packageName, String sku, String type, String developerPayload); . AIDL
10. package com.android.vending.billing; interface IInAppBillingService { . . Bundle getPurchases(int apiVersion, String packageName, String type, String continuationToken); . . AIDL
11. package com.android.vending.billing; interface IInAppBillingService { . . int consumePurchase(int apiVersion, String packageName, String purchaseToken); } AIDL
12. Interprocess Communication • Supports primitives, Parcelables, and some Collection classes • Parcelables must be available to both processes • Synchronous • Multithreading must be dealt with • Exceptions aren’t propogated http://developer.android.com/guide/components/aidl.html
13. But who really wants to write IPC code?
14. How some people do it Your App Google Play App Google Play Server IPC Magic IabHelper Java
15. IabHelper • “Sample” code from Google • Not versioned or part of a library • ~1,000 lines of code • Big API • 20 public methods • 5 interfaces • Buggy
16. public Inventory queryInventory(boolean querySkuDetails, List<String> moreSkus) throws IabException public Inventory queryInventory(boolean querySkuDetails, List<String> moreItemSkus, List<String> moreSubsSkus) throws IabException public void queryInventoryAsync(boolean querySkuDetails, List<String> moreSkus, 
 QueryInventoryFinishedListener listener) public void queryInventoryAsync(QueryInventoryFinishedListener listener) public void queryInventoryAsync(boolean querySkuDetails,
 QueryInventoryFinishedListener listener) Query
17. public Inventory queryInventory(
 boolean querySkuDetails, 
 List<String> moreItemSkus, 
 List<String> moreSubsSkus
 ) throws IabException Query
18. public void launchPurchaseFlow(Activity act, String sku, int requestCode, OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener listener) public void launchPurchaseFlow(Activity act, String sku, int requestCode, OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener listener, String extraData) public void launchSubscriptionPurchaseFlow(Activity act, String sku, int requestCode, 
 OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener listener) public void launchSubscriptionPurchaseFlow(Activity act, String sku, int requestCode, 
 OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener listener, String extraData) public void launchPurchaseFlow(Activity act, String sku, String itemType, int requestCode, OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener listener, String extraData) Purchase
19. public void launchPurchaseFlow( Activity act, 
 String sku, 
 String itemType, 
 int requestCode,
 OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener listener,
 String extraData ) Purchase
20. void consume(Purchase itemInfo) throws IabException public void consumeAsync(Purchase purchase, OnConsumeFinishedListener listener) public void consumeAsync(List<Purchase> purchases, OnConsumeMultiFinishedListener listener) Consume
21. public boolean handleActivityResult(int requestCode, 
 int resultCode, Intent data) public void enableDebugLogging(boolean enable, String tag) public void enableDebugLogging(boolean enable) public void startSetup(OnIabSetupFinishedListener listener) public void dispose() Misc
22. The Ideal Billing API • query(…) • purchase(…) • consume(…) • Not too much else
23. RxJava • A library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs by using observable sequences • Parameterized concurrency • Uniform, composable interface https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava
24. “observable sequences” http://rxmarbles.com/#map
25. “composable” http://rxmarbles.com/#filter
26. “parameterized concurrency” http://reactivex.io/documentation/operators/observeon.html
27. Let’s create a Billing API with Rx
28. Going Reactive • Remember “The ideal Billing API”? • query(…) • purchase(…) • consume(…) • (Not much else)
29. Observable<Inventory> queryInventory(
 boolean querySkuDetails, 
 List<String> moreItemSkus, 
 List<String> moreSubsSkus) Observable<Purchase> consume(List<Purchase> toConsume) Observable<Purchase> launchPurchaseFlow(
 Activity activity,
 SkuDetails sku,
 int requestCode,
 String extraData) Going Reactive
30. Observable<Purchase> consume(List<Purchase> toConsume) • sync/async versions of the method • Listener to be notified of the result • Checked exceptions • Single/multiple product consumption What’s Missing?
31. final Observable<Purchase> consumeObs = billingService.consume(purchases); consumeObs.subscribe(new Action1<Purchase>() { @Override public void call(Purchase purchase) { // Successful consume } }, new Action1<Throwable>() { @Override public void call(Throwable throwable) { // Show error message } }); Using the API
32. final Observable<Purchase> consumeObs = billingService.consume(purchases) .subscribeOn(io()) .observeOn(mainThread()); consumeObs.subscribe(new Action1<Purchase>() { @Override public void call(Purchase purchase) { // Successful consume } }); Using the API
33. final Observable<List<Purchase>> consumeObs = billingService.consume(purchases).toList() consumeObs.subscribe(new Action1<List<Purchase>>() { @Override public void call(List<Purchase> purchases) { // Successful consume } }); Using the API
34. billingService.queryInventory(true) .flatMap(inventory -> just(getPurchases()) .flatMap(purchases -> billingService.consume(purchases)) .subscribe() Using the API (Advanced)
35. Additional Benefits Your App Google Play App Google Play Server IPC Magic Play Billing Service RxJava Amazon Billing Service Amazon Server Magic Billing Service Polymorphism
36. Additional Benefits Your App Mock Billing Service RxJava Testability Billing Service
37. Observable<Inventory> queryInventory(
 boolean querySkuDetails, 
 List<String> moreItemSkus, 
 List<String> moreSubsSkus) Observable<Purchase> consume(List<Purchase> toConsume) Observable<Purchase> launchPurchaseFlow(
 Activity activity,
 SkuDetails sku,
 int requestCode,
 String extraData) Reactive In-App Billing Coming soon
 as Open Source library
