In-App billing with BillingClient. ResponceCode = -1. Service connection is disconnected

Question

In my application, a donation function was made. (The application with permission to purchase inside the application is available in google play and in the downloaded version, this function works) I did it using the easy library from anjlab. I started to update the application, and rewrote it at the same time on Kotlin. Donat stopped working for some reason. I decided to redo the code from the anjlab library to the new billing library from google. When I try to make a purchase, I get

responseCode = -1 (service connection is disconnected).

I tried to resume the connection using startConnection (this), tried to change the version in the gradle, loaded the new version into the library apk. Neither the old nor the new does not work (if you download from google play, the one that is published, it works). Code wrote on the guideline from Google. I test the application signed on a real device

        }
    }

    companion object {
        private const val DONATE_PRODUCT_ID = "donate"
    }
}

In "place of logs", i checked billingResult.responseCode = -1; debugMessage = "Service connection is disconnected"

I have no idea what to do. Thanks in advance for your help

Answer 1

In my case I was using a lazy initialization.

That way, the Google Billing setup started immediately before the launchBillingFlow method call.

That caused the service to be disconnected and not ready yet for the precise moment the billing flow was started.

I now start the BillingClient connection since the activity is started, and the flow works as expected when requested by the user.

Answer 2

Not sure if you are still having this problem, but I had it and debugging showed that the billing client was still using some old AIDL stuff I had not yet removed in the old com.android.vending package. Once I removed all that code and gutted my app's support for the old stuff, I was able to proceed with the purchase without error.

Answer 3

Faced such a problem. my decision is adding into application xml node

<!-- GOOGLE PLAY BILLING -->
    <activity
        android:name="com.android.billingclient.api.ProxyBillingActivity"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" />
