Answer 1

Try using this tutorial

Basically, you need to make a specific/reserved product ID that you want to test your in-app purchase with. In particular, you can use the android.test.purchased product ID to simulate a successful purchase.

Can I use this product ID to test subscriptions as well? – Jefferey

Yes – Powdery

@Powdery - really? I get an Item Not Found error when I try setting the item type to subscription. Mind sharing how you do it? – Outbalance

@Powdery I used the productId as you suggested,I was successfull through for the first time but from next time it thrown an exception as follows Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.IntentSender android.app.PendingIntent.getIntentSender()' on a null object reference.My complete question is under link.Any idea ? – Anaphora

Answer 2

You just use one on the following product IDs during a purchase operation:

android.test.purchased

android.test.canceled

android.test.refunded

android.test.item_unavailable

By using a restricted set of product IDs, you can trigger static responses from Google Play, so you can test that your app correctly handles all the possible states. You should use this when integrating the Play Billing Library into our app, or for instrumentation testing.
