Can anyone please tell me how i can solve this

Answer 1

For a reason in a previous try the method flagEndAsync hasnot been called, make sure that in IabHelper in all cases (success or failure) the method flagEndAsync is called.

Answer 2

This can happen because IabHelper.handleActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); is not called in the onActivityResult() method of your activity. You may want to verify that it is being called.

Answer 3

Instead of updating all code. It's easier to make the flagEndSync method in your IabHelper public.

Then each time you make call to your IabHelper, call Mhelper.flagEndAsync() first. Then you know for sure you start with a clean Asynctask.

No crashes for me anymore.
