I am currently testing In-App Billing for a future app, and after I successfully “bought” the test item “android.test.purchased” the first time, I now receive the response code 7 every time I try to buy it again, which means that I already own this item.
12-15 23:02:14.149: E/IabHelper(19829): In-app billing error: Unable
to buy item, Error response: 7:Item Already Owned
From what I understand, this purchase is supposed to always be possible, right? So that the developer can test his/her app?
If not, how can I “reset” its state to not owned? I am using the util package from the Google In-App Billing Sample.
It turns out that the android.test.purchased item behaves like a regular ID. It means that if you want be able to buy it again, you have to consume it somewhere in your code. I think that the Google documentation is misleading on this matter, and that they should add another static ID that you can buy endlessly for test purposes.
