Licensing Library

[straybullet]

My tests APPS are always reported as LICENSED, when the console is set to NOT_LICENSED. I have uploaded the test app, but not published it.

This isn't the entire app, but I stripped out enough to show what I am doing to see if some one can locate what I am missing. I always get licensed passed (my toast message) when testing the app on real devices. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Are you sure that ptype doesn't equal "sdk"?

You should only load the layout in lc_Allow, and call ExitApplication in lc_DontAllow.

Erel, not sure how my phones and tablets would be listed as sdk, I added that so I could test out the app in the emulator. I will have toast show me ptype, any thing else look like it could be an issue to you?

Update: The ptype is correctly reporting the phone name, so its not that

cached token?

 

[Brad]

cached token?

^ very likely the cause. You have to clear the app cache every time you change the console status.

Thanks for the help so far, but still getting the same results. I cleared the cache before I posted, I should have mentioned that. I have cleared the cache and uninstalled the app a few times. Even powered off the device, but still says license passed when I run the app which is connected to the internet.


Erel did not mention anything was wrong in the code, but double check the ptype which I did and that is not sdk, it is the phones name which makes it run the license check.

I moved load layout into the allowed sub as suggested, but that is not the license issue just a smart thing to do.

So I am at a lost why license library is not working for me, I was really hoping to get this going soon.


Again thanks for the help, if anyone else has suggestions please share them.

are you clicking 'save' after changing License Test Response?

 

[straybullet]

Well found the issue, I had to format a phone and setup the Android Developer account as the main account on the phone. Although all the accounts on the phone were test accounts, and the developer account was on the phone, it did not matter.

So for future reference in order to test this you must be using the Developer Account as your main phone account.

Hopefully this will save someone a lot of headache knowing this.

Good thing I have 6 test devices (Tablets and phones)

OK got the licensing working, but now when I change the orientation (by rotating the phone) or leave the program via the home key and try returning to it, I get a black screen.

I assume this is because the program is resuming and not running the first time function, how do I handle this resume since my load layout has been moved in to the lc_allow as suggested by Erel?

Is there an easier way than coping everything from layout from the lc_allow in to the resume sub?


Update: I decided to move the load loadout back in the first time sub, because now I use timers if the license fails, it shows a message then kills the app after 3 secs, so not much they can do in 3 seconds.
