Coding Guidelines

Connect to a service

Connect InApp client to the billing services using the Connect method. Best practice is to do this on your app start.

UM_InAppPurchaseManager.Client.Connect();

As soon as connection flow finishes,  OnServiceConnected event will be fired. See the code snippet below:

//subscribing to conection finish action
UM_InAppPurchaseManager.Client.OnServiceConnected += OnBillingConnectFinishedAction;
UM_InAppPurchaseManager.Client.Connect();

private void OnBillingConnectFinishedAction (UM_BillingConnectionResult result) {
	UM_InAppPurchaseManager.Client.OnServiceConnected -= OnBillingConnectFinishedAction;
	if(result.isSuccess) {
		Debug.Log("Connected");
	} else {
		Debug.Log("Failed to connect");
	}
}  

You can also find out the current connection state with the IsConnected property:

UM_InAppPurchaseManager.Client.IsConnected

If a connection is failed (for example, no internet connection available) you can try to call the Connect method later, but you can't use any of billing API before UM_InAppPurchaseManager is successfully initialized. 

Retrieving In-App product info

After completing a Setup step, info about your products is already filled. However, after you have successfully connected to a billing service, you can get more information about your items like a localised price, for example. 

List of all registred product models is available with the InAppProducts property of the UM_InAppPurchaseManager class. See the code snippet below:

UM_InAppPurchaseManager.InAppProducts;

You can also get product template using the following  UM_InAppPurchaseManager methods:

static UM_InAppProduct GetProductById(string id);
static UM_InAppProduct GetProductByIOSId(string id);
static UM_InAppProduct GetProductByAndroidId(string id);
static UM_InAppProduct GetProductByAmazonId(string id);
static UM_InAppProduct GetProductByWp8Id(string id);
	

More information about loaded product template can be retrieved with UM_InAppProduct class. 

The code snippet below shows how to print a general products info:

foreach(UM_InAppProduct product in UM_InAppPurchaseManager.InAppProducts) {
	Debug.Log("Id: " + product.id);
	Debug.Log("IsConsumable: " + product.IsConsumable);

	Debug.Log("Title: " + product.Title);
	Debug.Log("Description: " + product.Description);
	Debug.Log("Price: " + product.Price);

	Debug.Log("IOSId: " + product.IOSId);
	Debug.Log("AndroidId: " + product.AndroidId);
	Debug.Log("WP8Id: " + product.WP8Id);
}

Implementing a Purchase Flow

You purchase flow should look similar to the one below:

• Start purchase using the Purchase method
• Lock the user interface and wait for a complete event
• If a complete event is succeeded, it will be processed to a next step. Otherwise, show user and error message and finish the purchase flow. 
• (Optional) Validate purchase info
• Use Consume method  (only for the consumable items like coins, point, energy, etc..)
• Reward your customer for a purchase
• (Optional) Finish purchase flow

See the following code snippets as the example how to execute the steps described above.

Start purchase and subscribe to a complete event

UM_InAppPurchaseManager.Client.OnPurchaseFinished += OnPurchaseFlowFinishedAction;
UM_InAppPurchaseManager.Client.Purchase(YOUR_PRODUCT_ID);

private void OnPurchaseFlowFinishedAction (UM_PurchaseResult result) {
	UM_InAppPurchaseManager.Client.OnPurchaseFinished -= OnPurchaseFlowFinishedAction;
	if(result.isSuccess) {
		UM_ExampleStatusBar.text = "Product " + result.product.id + " purchase Success";
	} else  {
		UM_ExampleStatusBar.text = "Product " + result.product.id + " purchase Failed";
	}
}

Consume a product

UM_InAppPurchaseManager.Client.Consume(YOUR_PRODUCT_ID);

Tips and Tricks

You may always check if a product has been already purchased with IsProductPurchased method.:

bool IsPurchased = UM_InAppPurchaseManager.Client.IsProductPurchased(YOUR_PRODUCT_ID);

The Ultimate Mobile combines API for a lot of the different platforms.  We created a wrapper that allows you to implement InApps API only once, and it will work on all supported platforms.

However, you should know about the differences and possibilities on other platforms.
