Android In-App Billing v3: “Can't perform operation: queryInventory”

Question

I have setup In-App Billing for the first time using the new v3 API. It is working correctly on my devices but I have received a lot of error reports from other users.

Answer 1

I'm getting that EXACT same error with pretty-much the exact same code.

Only seems to be happening on certain handsets (actually, it seems almost exclusively the Acer Iconia Tablet in recent error reports!!) - and I am handling onActivityResult...

There are a number of errors in the Google v3 Billing Sample which can cause ANRs/FCs - I suspect this is just another one (shoddy code and shoddy docs are becoming a Google trademark - sadly).

My guess is - for now - that we need to allow for either mHelper or mGotInventoryListener being null and just disable In-App Billing in that case (as if result.isSuccess() was false, basically)

p.s. editted to add - it could just be that the user has an out-of-date version of the Play Store - that only auto-updates if they allow it to run!?
