PayPal MPL library

[NJDude]

You will have to create and use a sandbox account, you cannot buy/pay to yourself.

 

[Pablo Torres]

Ok, let me think if I understand what you said, in my regular paypal account, I go to my account details and take note of my Id account ... and that is the ID i have to use when I ask for a payment! is that correct?

 

[Pablo Torres]

What if I made the payment from a different account?

 

[GMan]

What if I made the payment from a different account?

???
You have to use another account to make a payment to you, 'cause you can't pay yourself.

Sorry, didnt read NJDudes post.
If you use another account it works (should)

 

[Pablo Torres]

Ok, but the ID you are talking is the one I described, right?

 

[GMan]

Yes - simple try it.
If it works the button will appear

 

[Pablo Torres]

Still not working, I dont understand what went wrong
I changed the email for mine, I changed true for false in the sandbox boolean, I even put my ID (the one I get in patpal website) in that part, but button still doesn't show, what am I missing?

 

[GMan]

I really dont know what could be wrong - did you posted the used code already ?
What device and what OS version you are using ?

Code:

#Region Project Attributes

#VersionName:
'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
#SupportedOrientations: portrait

#End Region

#Region Activity Attributes
#FullScreen: False
#IncludeTitle: True
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

Sub Globals
Dim pp As PayPal
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
Activity.LoadLayout("1")
pp.Initialize("APP-XXXXXXXXXXX", False, "paypal")
ProgressDialogShow("Esperando que aparezca el botón de Paypal...")
End Sub


Sub Activity_Resume
End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)
Activity.Finish
End Sub

Sub PayPal_Ready (Success As Boolean)
Log("Listo: " & Success)
If Success Then
Activity.AddView(pp.GetPayPalButton(False), 0, 0, 200dip, 100dip)
ProgressDialogHide
End If
End Sub

Sub PayPal_Click
pp.RequestPayment("USD", 5, "pablotorres1979@yahoo.com", "CRONOS", pp.PAYMENT_TYPE_PERSONAL)
End Sub

Sub PayPal_Result (Success As Boolean, Extra As String)

You should follow the instructions here: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/lifecycle/goingLive/

 

[GMan]

IMHO i found the mistake:

in the GoingLive-TuT is written:

Important! Before registering your PayPal application, make sure the status of the PayPal account used to submit the application is verified.

as Pablo wrote he created a new account after having 1st problems - so is this new one also verified ? As we know it leasts some days to give Paypal time to send the verification "money" value.

As i was using still verified accounts i never had a look at this point.

Also the key looks different to the one i used:

pp.Initialize("APP-12345678901234567", False, "Paypal")

 

[Pablo Torres]

Yes, I read the documentation and I realized that I need to create a key for each app.
I did it and now the problem is solved.
Thanks to all

Erel,

According to my information the info on the PayPal SDK is outdated. It seems the newest SDK is available for international use: https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-Android-SDK

I think MPL is the "old" solution.

 

[DonManfred]

MPL IS the old solution. Please note that the thread is 1,5 Years old

 

[bluedude]

Thought so, anyone working on a new version?

 

[bluedude]

Erel,

Could you release the sourcecode for this wrapper so that we could try to create a new version for the new PayPal sdk?

Cheers.

[bluedude]

Thanks for the sourcecode. Do you think this can easily be rewritten with AdditionalJar and Java object?

 

[Erel]

The source code of the old SDK is not relevant to the new one.

It should be possible to use JavaObject to call the API (https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-An...e/paypalandroidsdkexample/SampleActivity.java)

Using StartActivityForResult with JavaObject

 

[bluedude]

Right, need to see how I can "translate" that. Will take a while.
