Validate and log purchase

The validateAndLogInAppPurchase method is part of the receipt validation flow, which enables your app to validate in-app purchase events generated by Google Play.

📘Note

The function validateAndLogInAppPurchase can be replaced by the fully automatic purchase SDK connector (a premium service). To learn how to integrate the connector, see in Github Android purchase SDK connector.

The method is currently implemented in two versions.

validateAndLogInAppPurchase (BETA) supported from SDK v.6.14.0
validateAndLogInAppPurchase (LEGACY)

Implement validateAndLogInAppPurchase (BETA)

The validateAndLogInAppPurchase (currently in BETA) sends the purchase details to AppsFlyer for validation. After AppsFlyer validates the purchase with Google Play the method returns the response to a callback function.

📘Note

Contact your CSM to join the beta.

To implement the method perform the following steps:

Query the Play Store for the Purchase object of the in-app purchase event.
Initialize an AFPurchaseDetails instance and set it with the purchase type, token, product ID, price, and currency details retrieved from the Purchase object.
If you want to add additional details to the purchase in-app event, populate a hash map with key-value pairs.
Invoke validateAndLogInAppPurchase with the following:
- The AFPurchaseDetails object you created in step 2.
- The hash map with the additional details you created in step 3.
- An instance of the AppsFlyerInAppPurchaseValidationCallback to handle validation success and failure.
Add your logic for handling the failure, success, or error responses returned to the callback function. See here a few response examples.

If the validation is successful, an af_purchase event is logged with the values provided to validateAndLogInAppPurchase.

📘Note

validateAndLogInAppPurchase generates an af_purchase in-app event upon successful validation. Sending this event yourself will cause duplicate event reporting.

Ejemplo de código

AFPurchaseDetails purchaseDetails = new AFPurchaseDetails(
    AFPurchaseType.SUBSCRIPTION, //Purchase type
    "PurchaseToken", // Purchase token
    "myProductId", // Product ID
    "202.34", // Price
    "USD"); // Currency

Map<String, String> purchaseAdditionalDetails = new HashMap<>();

// Adding some key-value pairs to the map
purchaseAdditionalDetails.put("firstDetail", "something");
purchaseAdditionalDetails.put("secondDetail", "nice");
AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().validateAndLogInAppPurchase(
    purchaseDetails,
    purchaseAdditionalDetails, //optional
    new AppsFlyerInAppPurchaseValidationCallback() {
        @Override
        public void onInAppPurchaseValidationFinished(@NonNull Map<String, ?> validationFinishedResult) {
            Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Purchase validation response arrived");
            Boolean validationResult = (Boolean) validationFinishedResult.get("result");

            if (validationResult == true) {
                Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Purchase validated successfully");
                // Add here code following successful purchase validation
            } else {
                @NonNull Map<String, ?> error_data = (Map<String, ?>) validationFinishedResult.get("error_data");
                Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Purchase was not validated due to " + error_data.get("message"));
                // Add here code when validation was not successful
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onInAppPurchaseValidationError(@NonNull Map<String, ?> validationErrorResult) {
            Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Purchase validation returned error: " + validationErrorResult.get("error_message"));
        }
    }
);

validateAndLogInAppPurchase (Legacy)

validateAndLogInAppPurchase is exposed via AppsFlyerLib.

validateAndLognInAppPurchase toma estos argumentos:

validateAndLogInAppPurchase(Context context,
                            java.lang.String publicKey,
                            java.lang.String signature,
                            java.lang.String purchaseData,
                            java.lang.String price, java.lang.String currency,
                            java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> additionalParameters)

context: contexto de aplicación/actividad
publicKey: clave de licencia obtenida de Google Play Console
signature: data.INAPP_DATA_SIGNATURE from onActivityResult
purchaseData: data.INAPP_PURCHASE_DATA from onActivityResult
price: precio de compra, debe derivarse de skuDetails.getStringArrayList("DETAILS_LIST")
currency: divisa de compra, debe derivarse de skuDetails.getStringArrayList("DETAILS_LIST")
additionalParameters : parámetros del evento adicionales para registrar

If the validation is successful, an af_purchase event is logged with the values provided to validateAndLogInAppPurchase.

📘
Nota
validateAndLogInAppPurchase generates an af_purchase in-app event upon successful validation. Sending this event yourself will cause duplicate event reporting.

Example: Validate an in-app purchase

// Purchase object is returned by Google API in onPurchasesUpdated() callback
private void handlePurchase(Purchase purchase) {
    Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Purchase successful!");
    Map<String, String> eventValues = new HashMap<>();
    eventValues.put("some_parameter", "some_value");
    AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().validateAndLogInAppPurchase(getApplicationContext(),
                                                           PUBLIC_KEY,
                                                           purchase.getSignature(),
                                                           purchase.getOriginalJson(),
                                                           "10",
                                                           "USD",
                                                           eventValues);
}

// Purchase object is returned by Google API in onPurchasesUpdated() callback
private fun handlePurchase(Purchase purchase) {
   Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Purchase successful!")
   val eventValues = HashMap<String, String>()
   eventValues.put("some_parameter", "some_value")
   AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().validateAndLogInAppPurchase(this,
                                                          PUBLIC_KEY,
                                                          purchase.getSignature(),
                                                          purchase.getOriginalJson(),
                                                          "10",
                                                          "USD",
                                                          eventValues)
}

Handling purchase validation success/failure

Use AppsFlyerInAppPurchaseValidatorListener to subscribe to purchase validation successes/failures and registerValidatorListener to register it in your Application class.

registerValidatorListener is exposed via AppsFlyerLib. To use AppsFlyerInAppPurchaseValidatorListener, import it:

import com.appsflyer.AppsFlyerInAppPurchaseValidatorListener;

import com.appsflyer.AppsFlyerInAppPurchaseValidatorListener

AppsFlyerInAppPurchaseValidatorListener tiene dos devoluciones de llamada:

onValidateInApp: se activa tras la validación de compra exitosa.
onValidateInAppFailure: se activa tras validaciones de compra fallidas.

registerValidatorListener toma 2 argumentos:

context: el contexto de la aplicación
validationListener: The AppsFlyerInAppPurchaseValidatorListener object you wish to register

AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().registerValidatorListener(this,new
   AppsFlyerInAppPurchaseValidatorListener() {
     public void onValidateInApp() {
       Log.d(TAG, "Purchase validated successfully");
     }
     public void onValidateInAppFailure(String error) {
       Log.d(TAG, "onValidateInAppFailure called: " + error);
     }
});

AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().registerValidatorListener(this, object : AppsFlyerInAppPurchaseValidatorListener {
    override fun onValidateInApp() {
       	Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Purchase validated successfully")
    }

    override fun onValidateInAppFailure(error: String) {
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "onValidateInAppFailure called: $error")
   }
})

Al validar una compra in-app, se envía automáticamente un evento de compra in-app a AppsFlyer. Mira a continuación una muestra de los datos que se pasan en el parámetro event_value:

{
   "some_parameter": "some_value", // from additional_event_values
   "af_currency": "USD", // from currency
   "af_content_id" :"test_id", // from purchase
   "af_revenue": "10", // from revenue
   "af_quantity": "1", // from purchase
   "af_validated": true // flag that AF verified the purchase
}
