Click on the links to view the subproject's readme files for service-dependant information and artifacts.
The recommended way to use gdx-pay is via dependency management with Gradle or Maven. Artifacts are available in Maven Central.
project-root/build.gradle:
ext {
gdxPayVersion = '1.3.7'
}
Add the following dependencies:
core:
implementation "com.badlogicgames.gdxpay:gdx-pay-client:$gdxPayVersion"
html:
implementation "com.badlogicgames.gdxpay:gdx-pay:$gdxPayVersion:sources"
implementation "com.badlogicgames.gdxpay:gdx-pay-client:$gdxPayVersion:sources"
You also need to add the following file to your GdxDefinition.gwt.xml in your html project:
<inherits name="com.badlogic.gdx.pay_client"/>
That's all you need to use gdx-pay in the core project. Of course, you want to use a certain IAP service in your game. Look in the service subproject's readme files linked above.
The main interface you use to communicate with payment services is the PurchaseManager. Add a field holding it
to your main game class:
public PurchaseManager purchaseManager;
In the launcher class you instantiate the PurchaseManager for the payment service you want to use:
game.purchaseManager = new DesiredPlatformPurchaseManager(...);
See the documentation of your desired payment service linked above on how to instantiate its PurchaseManager implementation.
Before using the PurchaseManager for payments, it needs to get installed:
You need to provide a callback listener implementing the PurchaseObserver interface and a configuration.
Typically, the configuration just passes the items you want to offer:
PurchaseManagerConfig pmc = new PurchaseManagerConfig();
pmc.addOffer(new Offer().setType(OfferType.ENTITLEMENT).setIdentifier(YOUR_ITEM_SKU));
pmc.addOffer(new Offer().setType(OfferType.CONSUMABLE).setIdentifier(YOUR_ITEM_SKU));
pmc.addOffer(new Offer().setType(OfferType.SUBSCRIPTION).setIdentifier(YOUR_ITEM_SKU));
// some payment services might need special parameters, see documentation
pmc.addStoreParam(storename, param)
purchaseManager.install(new MyPurchaseObserver(), pmc, true);
When the PurchaseManager is sucessfully installed, your PurchaseObserver will receive a
callback and purchaseManager.installed() will return true. That might take some seconds depending
on the payment service. You can now request information or purchase items.
If you are completely done with the PurchaseManager, call its dispose() method.
It is important to know which of the items you added to the configuration are available at which
price. Use getInformation() to retrieve an item Information object to do so:
Information skuInfo = purchaseManager.getInformation(sku);
if (skuInfo == null || skuInfo.equals(Information.UNAVAILABLE)) {
// the item is not available...
purchaseButton.setDisabled(true);
} else {
// enable a purchase button and set its price label
purchaseButton.setText(skuInfo.getLocalPricing());
}
This is for what you are reading this! It is pretty easy to start a purchasement:
purchaseManager.purchase(sku);
If the purchasement was successfully done,
you will receive a call to PurchaseObserver.handlePurchase(). If there was an error,
you might receive a call to your observer's handlePurchaseError() or handlePurchaseCanceled()
method.
If the user reinstalls your game or erased its data, it is important to let him restore his past purchases. You can do so by calling
purchaseManager.purchaseRestore()
You will get a callback to your observer's handleRestore() method with a list of past transactions.
Please note: Don't use this to query the user's bought entitlements on every game start, but persist them yourself. Call this method only when the user hits a "reclaim" button. The most important reasons for this:
- (iOS only) Apple will reject your game if it calls
purchaseRestore()without user interaction - You get only reliable results if the device is connected to the internet. If you don't persist entitlements yourself, your paying users are not able to use their purchases offline.
purchaseRestore()might take some time to fetch its results
If you have questions or problems, take a look at the example project demonstrating how to configure and use gdx-pay.
