SDK integration

dependencies {
    implementation ("com.devtodev:android-google-purchases:*.*.*")
    // Starting from version 6.0.0
    implementation ("com.android.billingclient:billing:*.*.*")
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.devtodev:android-google-purchases:*.*.*'
    // Starting from version 6.0.0
    implementation 'com.android.billingclient:billing:*.*.*'
}

To initialize the service, call the startAutoTracking method of the DTDPurchases interface. Call the method after the SDK initialization call:

val config = DTDAnalyticsConfiguration()
DTDAnalytics.initialize("App ID", config, context)
DTDGooglePurchases.initialize(context)
DTDGooglePurchases.startAutoTracking()

DTDAnalyticsConfiguration config = new DTDAnalyticsConfiguration();
DTDAnalytics.INSTANCE.initialize(appKey, config, context);
DTDGooglePurchases.INSTANCE.initialize(context);
DTDGooglePurchases.INSTANCE.startAutoTracking();

DTDAnalytics.Initialize(APPKey, new DTDAnalyticsConfiguration
{
  UserId = userId,
  ApplicationVersion = Application.version,
  CurrentLevel = lvl,
  LogLevel = DTDLogLevel.No,
  TrackingAvailability = DTDTrackingStatus.Enable
});
DTDPurchases.StartAutoTracking();

Subscription restore

The SDK will automatically restore the list of previously purchased subscriptions at the first launch of the autotracking service. No additional integration is required.
