Question

Google example for in-app payment suggests to add the manifest entry in order to receive the payment confirmations. But in Native Extension for AIR, the receiver will not be found as its a different package. So i moved the receiver part to code as follows

final IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter("com.android.vending.billing.IN_APP_NOTIFY");
filter.addAction("com.android.vending.billing.RESPONSE_CODE");
filter.addAction("com.android.vending.billing.PURCHASE_STATE_CHANGED");

a.registerReceiver(billingReceiver, filter);   

But the service’s onreceive() method never gets called.

Is there a different way of registering the activity to get receiver calls?

Answer 1

According to some reference sites, adding the billing receiver in code doesn’t work. So moved it to manifest file, removed the package and referred it from the root directory. So problem solved.

Manifest for AIR app would look like this for more info for those who are trying out!
