Android In-App Billing: Purchase state stays “purchased” after order cancelation

Question

I\'m currently testing my InApp billing mechanism (using the InApp Billing version 3 API, therefore taking the TrivialDrive example as reference).

I have one managed

This problem also occures when using the app on another device with the same account. The item is not received as purchased until the device is restarted, even after hours. If trying to purchase again, the google wallet dialog says "item already owned". The return code from the iabHelper still is "user cancelled" cause the real response from the purchase activity is not given back, just written in the debug log.

else if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED) {
        logDebug("Purchase canceled - Response: " + getResponseDesc(responseCode));
        result = new IabResult(IABHELPER_USER_CANCELLED, "User canceled.");
        if (mPurchaseListener != null) mPurchaseListener.onIabPurchaseFinished(result, null);
    }

So its not possible to react to this google billing dialog cause we are always getting the same result IABHELPER_USER_CANCELED, even if the dialog said "item already owned".

Edit:

I fix it with this:

else if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED) {
        logDebug("Purchase canceled - Response: " + getResponseDesc(responseCode));
        if(responseCode == 7) 
            result = new IabResult(BILLING_RESPONSE_RESULT_ITEM_ALREADY_OWNED, "Item already owned.");
        else                                                                                             
            result = new IabResult(IABHELPER_USER_CANCELLED, "User canceled.");
        if (mPurchaseListener != null) mPurchaseListener.onIabPurchaseFinished(result, null);
    }

So now if the response from the billing dialog is 7 as "Item already owned" i report it back to my listener.
