Prime31 Android Plugins Officially Live!

@prime31

Hey there, I'm using prime31 IAB for Android and I need to know when a user cancels a purchase, just like you exposed the event in the StoreKitManager for iOS "purchaseCancelledEvent". How can I do it? Is that possible?

Thanks in advance

@gask, the event list in the documentation has the following event which may be of interest:

// Fired when a purchase fails
public static event Action<string> purchaseFailedEvent;

 

Hi,

I'm not sure if it's a problem with the plug-in or Unity, but I'm getting a bug where in the Android Manifest the same activity is being declared twice. This is in my own application's manifest rather than the one provided by prime31. This is causing a crash when running the application. I keep having to delete the latter of the two declarations by hand.

Was wondering how to fix this.

Cheers

 

@lukas, the plugin will only generate a new AndroidManifest if one doesnt exist so your problem lies elsewhere.

 

If I run the application before installing your plug-in, this problem did not occur, so I am thinking there's a decent chance that it's something to do with the plugin. I notice the post processor edits my existing manifest to add your necessary information into the mainfest so I was wondering if thjat could be anything to do with it.

Thanks

 

@lukas, as previously mentioned, our post build system will only generate a new AndroidManifest file if one doesn't already exist. The proper way to modify it is to use the prime[31] menu to generate an AndroidManifest file then add what you need to it.

 

Hi Primates,

We are using your GoogleCloudMessaging solution and as soon as I call

Code (csharp):

1. GoogleCloudMessaging.register("XXXXXX")

the android crashes while the development build logs the following exception:

Code (csharp):

1. System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for GoogleCloudMessaging ---> System.ExecutionEngineException: JNI Exception
2. at UnityEngine.AndroidJavaClass._AndroidJavaClass (System.String className) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

7. at CloudMessaging.OnGUI () [0x00028] in /Users/Guy/.../CloudMessaging/CloudMessaging.cs:21

What am I doing wrong?

I'll also add that even though we are removing the existing android manifest from our project, the "Generate" menu button does not seem to generate a manifest.

A call from GoogleCloudMessaging.cs supplied by you caused this exception.

Code (csharp):

1. using( var pluginClass = new AndroidJavaClass( "com.prime31.GoogleCloudMessagingPlugin" ) )

 

@guy, your Unity project may have some issues. Have you tried importing the plugin in an empty project to rule that out? We have never seen any case of the Manifest generator not writing a file.

 

Issue solved.

I had missing jar files. It would be an amazing miracle had it work without them

Cheers!

 

I am using prime31 google play service plugin and prime31 In app billing services and I just put my game on the google play store.
Now user are sending me the crash reports with this error.

I don't know what I am doing wrong. Both the plugin works fine but sometime it crashing.

 

dear prime..
Is this the way to generate the key hash?
Strange..
I dont got any error but i cant test to post something on my wall via your demo application..

Thanks..

 

Hi Prime31, I have your AdMob plugin provided by a client whose app I'm building. On my Nexus 7 the ads will rotate out every 30 seconds or so like it's supposed to, but for some reason his Galaxy Tab only ever shows the first one. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in the plugin or even ad mob itself?

Thanks,
Nathan

 

@nathan, contact Google for assistance with their SDK. It is closed source and we obviously have no access to their code or servers to assist.

 

Hey prime,

Is there any way to grab a list of Google+ friend names/IDs by using the Google Play Game Services plugin? I'm trying to show the player a list of invite-able friends (preferably those who have installed the app).

 

@bryson, no. The Google+ service is not exposed by the plugin.

 

Hi Prime,

Quick question/note about the Google IAB plugin. We are updating from v2 billing and I noticed that while your documentation says that unmanaged products can no longer be used, Google's IAB migration document says that unmanaged items from existing apps will be treated as managed items by the v3 system: http://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/billing_overview.html#migration

This seemed to work OK for awhile, though one of our testers was able to get a consumable item in a state where:

• It had been purchased.
• It was not consumed.
• The inventory query does not return the purchased item.
• Trying to purchase the item gets an "Item Already Purchased" from Google.
• Trying to consume the item returns a failure (because it wasn't returned when querying the inventory).

So yeah...that seems like a bust. Maybe Google is incorrectly excluding the consumable items from the inventory query because they aren't managed. Is the correct course of action to recreat old v2 consumables as separate v3 managed products?

Thanks!

 

@kromenak, I personally found that Google's docs were not accurate hence the note in our docs. Recreating the items as managed fixed any issues for me.

 

no one answer me..
T,T

 

I 'm having problems with EtceteraAndroid.saveImageToGallery() too. The example works but even when I copy the code to another scene it return false

 

@prime31, thanks; I recreated the v2 items and haven't had that issue again.

Another issue I've noticed is that if a user initiates a purchase, but suspends the app before Google prompts them to confirm the purchase, then my app will not receive a "Purchase Success" or "Purchase Failed" callback and there is potential for the app to hang waiting for a response.

It also seems that the first time I call Purchase again after this happens, I get this error: Null data in IAB result (response: -1002:Bad response received).

I'm trying to manually find a quick fix (and it is an edge case for sure), but it seems that even if I suspend/resume at that time in the app, the IAB flow shouldn't freak out like it does.

EDIT: This odd behavior seems to be caused by a Unity 4.2 manifest setting "android:launchMode="singleTask". If I remove this line, everything works fine with IAB, but there are a bunch of graphical glitches that occur. If I include that line, it seems that every time I resume the app, the GoogleIABProxyActivity is forced to the background, which causes odd behavior. Any thoughts on how to resolve that???

EDIT 2: We are still doing testing, but I think we've tentatively resolved the issue by following this article: https://lilpickle3000.wordpress.com/2013/01/30/android-singletask-launchmode/. Apparently, there is a bug/feature with using "singleTask" launch mode where resuming an app from the home screen will destroy all activities on top of the launch activity in the task stack. The article provides a workaround.

 

Hey,

I'm using the Etcetera plugin for Android and I want to use a scroll-able inline webview for my application. When I tried the demo scenes, the inline webview doesn't allow scrolling and clicking inside them. When I click on the webview (which is over a button), the button underneath it gets pressed instead of the link on the webview. Is there anything I'm missing out or doing wrong?

 

@bik, here is a copy/paste directly from the documentation: "Note that Unity's input handling will still occur so make sure nothing is touchable that is behind the web view while it is displayed."

 

@prime31, I read the documentation and my problem is not the underlying button being clicked. My problem is that the actual webview is not clickable. More so I'm interested in scrolling the webview rather than actually clicking it.

 

@prime31, how long does it take for the cancelled purchase to show up as cancelled on a queryInventorySucceededEvent?

It's been about 45 minutes so far but still comes through as purchaseState == 0

 

@trooper, Google's documentation does not list any time periods. I've seen a few tests take over a day.

 

@prime31 Is your support system generally so bad, or I'm the only one being on the receiving end of such affair? Is there something that can be done about my problem, or do I have to shift to other options than using your plugins?

 

@bik, we can't reproduce a webview not scrolling and we havent received any other similar reports. Granted scrolling in an inline web view will never actually be smooth due to the device having to render an entire game plus a webview which is an extremely heavy control. Perhaps switching to a standard webview is a good idea. You included exactly no information (no device model, Android OS version, logcat output, etc) and the webview is a standard Android component. Googles code handles all touches, scrolling, loading, rendering etc. I'm not sure what exactly you expect us to be able to do here. Issues with standard controls which we have no power over are best brought up by submitting a proper bug report to Google.

 

Okay. Fair enough. I wanted to know whether this is a general problem or if I'm doing something wrong.

However, I think I've been able to reproduce the problem. The problem occurs only when I'm using the Qualcomm Vuforia plugin. It seems that the Etcetera plugin and the Vuforia plugin don't go hand in hand. Do you have a workaround? The logcat didn't have much useful information, still I can share it if you want. I'm using Galaxy Note II for testing. The Unity version is 4.1.2.

 

@bik, Vuforia overrides the Unity Activity so it is quite possible they are not forwarding touches along to other native views. You will have to check with them to see if they have a workaround.

 

Okay, thanks for the info. Apparently, Vuforia does override the Unity Activity. I tried to make my own plugin for making a webview, but no luck. I forwarded the touches to the the native views, but doesn't seem to work! Hope I find a workaround soon! :/

 

@bik, I did just think of something: you may want to make sure the AndroidManifest.xml that Vuforias uses adds the proper attribute to have events forwarded:

 

@prime31, Is there a way to reset achievements for the GooglePlayServices similar to the GameCenter method call, resetAchievements?

 

OH MY GOD!!!! That indeed was the problem. The value of this metadata is specifically set to false by the Vuforia plugin. Changing it to true did the trick. Th

 

@sanjokids, I believe there is a way to reset data but Google did not expose it via their Android SDK. You may be able to do it manually using their REST API. You will want to check their docs to see if it is possible.

 

Hi Prime31,
I have problem with Twitter login.
After I log in into my Twitter app, the the Twitter redirect to my REDIRECT URL, and this page is shows in browser windows, and there is no callback into Unity.

Where is the problem ?

 

Hey Prime,

I just added a few new prime31 Android plugins to my project, regenerated the AndroidManifest file, and am now getting an exception when I run it on a device:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. 08-15 10:32:06.781: E/AndroidRuntime(3530): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
3. 08-15 10:32:06.781: E/AndroidRuntime(3530): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{com.company.project/com.prime31.UnityPlayerProxyActivity}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.prime31.UnityPlayerProxyActivity
4.  

Any thoughts on what to do about this? Not quite sure what this is telling me here, or where to expect the UnityPlayerProxyActivity class.

 

@bryson, looks like you are missing a jar file. Redownload and reimport the plugins. The P31UnityActivity jar file should end up in the Plugins/Android folder

 

Hi Prime

I have a couple of questions before purchasing your Android IAB plugin. Does the IAB plugin override the main activity or require these lines in the activity manifest?

HTML:

<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

Secondly does anyone know if this works with BFS Google Play Google Services Plugin?

Thanks

 

@meridian, the plugin does not override the main Activity.

 

Hi Prime,

Am facing a strange problem and i cant find whats wrong. Am using social networking plugin to post pictures to facebook. The first picture gets posted perfectly. However if the i try to post again. i get java.io.FileNotFoundException: https://graph.facebook.com/me/photos

If i logout and login again then I can post one photo and on every photo after that i get this again. so i have to logout and then login again to post a picture. Please tell what i am doing wrong.

my code is:

Code (csharp):

1. if(FacebookAndroid.getSessionPermissions().Contains("publish_actions")){
2.             print ("account validated");
3.             FBScreenShotNumber++;
4.             string path = "TEST" + FBScreenShotNumber + ".png";
5.             string origin = System.IO.Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, path);
6.            
7.             while( System.IO.File.Exists(origin) ){
8.                 FBScreenShotNumber++;
9.                 path = "TEST" + FBScreenShotNumber + ".png";
10.                 origin = System.IO.Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, path);
11.             }
12.    
13.             Application.CaptureScreenshot(path);
14.             print (Application.persistentDataPath+"/"+path);
15.             //yield return new WaitForSeconds(2.0f);
16.            
17.        
18.             while( !System.IO.File.Exists(origin) )
19.             {
20.                 yield return null;
21.             }
22.            
23.             if(System.IO.File.Exists(origin)){
24.                 var bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes( origin );
25.                 print("posting now");
26.                 Facebook.instance.postImage( bytes, "I just played ", completionHandler );
27.                
28.             }
29.             PostImage=false;
30.            
31.             bottombar.SetActive(true);
32.         }

 

@ali, when you run into issues with Facebooks servers you need to contact Facebook. They are the only ones that can tell you why they are rejecting the second post.

 

when will prime31 plugins verison in unity asset store be up to date to the prime31 site one?

 

@storatest, which plugin are you referring to?

 

Hi Prime,

I'm deciding whether to include Google Services License check into our game so I went through the plugin documentation and I found this callback: licenseCheckFailedEvent with "Fired when a license check fails" comment. When exactly this license check happens? Is it triggered automatically at some point?

Thanks

 

@alessiant, Google does not specify when they will fire the event so its best to just wore up the listener at launch.

 

I see... Thanks, Prime

 

Hmm, I am effeminately doing something wrong, just no idea what ....

I opened new project, imported PlayGameServicesAndroid_2013-07-29.unitypackage selected PlayGameServicesDemoScene scene and run in editor - I got lots of buttons on screen.

Then I compiled for my Nexus 7 and I got "Unfortunately, app name has stopped."

and nothing, app just not opening at all


On a side note, I got same package in another project, that works fine, but when I try to call PlayGameServices.authenticate(); on device Nothing happens at all !!!
I don't get any word from both events, no login screen opens, no errors in console, nothing.

What am I doing wrong ?

 

@burve, with the information you provided there is absolutely nothing we can do to assist. Please attempt to compile a proper bug report including all the basics: log cat logs, OS version, Play Store version, device make, model, etc

 

hmm, awesome replay, I have now words ...


however I will try to get some,

so, for that empty scene not working on device:
cat log:

OS - 4.3
your addon version (that I did mentioned) - was from 2013-07-29 and counts as latest for android
device - Nexus 7 (2012), from Assus (obviously)

Unity, that was used - 4.2.1 (fresh from todays Unity website)


hard to add something else ...

P.S. hmm, shall i assume, that if I add your plugin to my game, then my game will run only on few OS versions of Android and few devices, based on your question, and rest can't use it ? Sounds like awesome feature to me ...

 

@burve, when using Play Game Services you are of course limited to the Android OS and Play requirements. That has nothing to do with our code, it is just the reality of using a new technology. We require a device model and Android OS version so that we an attempt to reproduce the issue.

The logs you provided show no errors at all. There is no such thing as an application crash that does not provide a log cat log. Please provide us with at a bare minimum the log output. We can't just guess what is happening here.
