Android Donations Lib

Android Donations Lib supports donations by Google Play Store, Flattr, PayPal, and Bitcoin.

It is used in projects, such as OpenKeychain, AdAway, FasterGPS, and NTPSync.

NOTE: Google mailed me to remove PayPal donation capability when publishing on Google Play! Thus, you should build "product flavors" defined by the example: One version with Google Play donation capability and one with Paypal, Flattr, and Bitcoin!

How to use

  1. Add dependency to your build.gradle:
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    
    dependencies {
        compile 'org.sufficientlysecure:donations:2.6'
    }
    
  2. Instantiate the fragment where you want to use it. Check out the example app for this: DonationsActivity.java
  3. Don't forget to pass through results in onActivityResult() back to the fragment as shown in DonationsActivity.java.
  4. When publishing the app you must create managed in-app products for your app in the Google Play Store that matches the ones you defined in private static final String[] GOOGLE_CATALOG

Build flavors

  1. Keep in mind that Google forbits other payment methods besides Google Play. Thus, in the example, two build flavors are used. Check out ExampleApp/build.gradle. The build script adds DONATIONS_GOOGLE to the auto generated BuildConfig.java.
  2. Add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> to product flavors that use Flattr
  3. Add <uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.BILLING" /> to product flavors that use Google Play In-app billing
