Currently I Am developing an magazine reader app. In my app I want to provide the Subscription facility where user can have monthly subscriptions. I am having a doubt that is there a subscription facility in android market. I went through the Google docs.I fond that now its not available. But still I am having a doubt and little bit confused. Can any one tell me about this. Any help will be appreciated.I really want to clarify this for the further movement.
Yes, there is an API that facilitates subscription. It's called In-app Billing and it's one of the most difficult to use payment APIs I ever encountered.
The subscription based payment model was recently announced, and as Bill The Ape has said, it is quite difficult to use and understand.
Some useful links:
You can play around with the sample application, and re-use bits for your own app. If you do, make sure you read this so that the app is secure.

I actually disagree with Bill The Ape. The documentation and sample code is pretty decent. Google has a sample application that demonstrates subscriptions. The only issue is testing subscriptions, that's where there's very little support
