BillingClient

This reference document contains the summary of BillingClient class.

Definition and Inheritance

public abstract class BillingClient extends Object 
                                      
      java.lang.Object
            gg.now.billingclient.api.BillingClient      

Responsibilities


  • BillingClient is responsible for providing the method for in-app billing operations.
  • BillingClient is an interface responsible for communication between the library and the user application code.
  • Supports Synchronous and Asynchronous callbacks for blocking and non-blocking methods, respectively.

Process


You need to perform a setup in order to start using the object. Follow the steps below to perform the setup:

  • Start by calling startConnection(BillingClientStateListener) method. This will establish a listener to be notified about the completion of setup. Once the setup is complete you can start calling other methods.
  • After the setup is complete, you should request an inventory of ‘Owned Items’.
    • To request an inventory, you should start with queryPurchasesAsync and querySkuDetailsAsync
  • As soon as you are done with the object, make sure that you perform a proper cleanup by using endConnection().
  • If in case you created this object inside onCreate(bundle), you should use onDestroy() method to dispose it.

Note:

  • This object is binding with the in-app billing service and the broadcast events manager. Hence, proper cleanup by disposing of the object is a mandatory step to ensure there is no leak.
  • All methods should be called from the UI thread
  • All the asynchronous callbacks will be returned on the UI thread.
