Android In-App billing item price

androidbillingin-app-purchase

How can the price of an in-app billing item be retrieved before actually displaying the android market frontend for the in-app purchase? Currently it looks like the user only can find out the price for an in-app item in the purchase dialog and i would like to avoid to store the prices in the application for all supported currencies.

It is possible now with Billing API v3. You can get information with getSkuDetails() method. Example is here.

ArrayList skuList = new ArrayList();
skuList.add("premiumUpgrade"); 
skuList.add("gas");
Bundle querySkus = new Bundle();
querySkus.putStringArrayList(“ITEM_ID_LIST”, skuList);

Bundle skuDetails = mService.getSkuDetails(3, getPackageName(), “inapp”, querySkus);

int response = skuDetails.getInt("RESPONSE_CODE");
if (response == 0) {
    ArrayList responseList = skuDetails.getStringArrayList("DETAILS_LIST");

    for (String thisResponse : responseList) {
        JSONObject object = new JSONObject(thisResponse);
        String sku = object.getString("productId");
        String price = object.getString("price");
        if (sku.equals(“premiumUpgrade”)) {
            mPremiumUpgradePrice = price;
        } else if (sku.equals(“gas”)) { 
            mGasPrice = price;
        }
    }
}
