Google billing API automatically refunding in-app purchases even after being aknowledged

I tried looking at previous questions and answers but with no luck finding a real solution. I'm acknowledging purchases once they are processed although my users are still automatically refunded. Below is my whole purchase activity. It's a simple activity with a big button to purchase the app's full version. Anoter button to restore previous purchases. A third button to show some advice if users were not able to restore their purchase.
Any help would be appreciated!

Huawei Ads, onAdClosed is not called

I'm trying to integrate the interstitial ad from Huawei Ads, when I click on (X) or back button to close the ad, for some reason the Toast inside onAdClosed method is not showing.
huaweiInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(MainActivity.this);
huaweiInterstitialAd.setAdId("teste9ih9j0rc3");
private void showHuaweiInterstitial() {
if (huaweiInterstitialAd != null && huaweiInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
huaweiInterstitialAd.show(MainActivity.this);
}
}
public void loadHuaweiInterstitialAd() {
huaweiInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
super.onAdLoaded();
showHuaweiInterstitial();
}
#Override
public void onAdFailed(int errorCode) {
Log.d(TAG, "Ad load failed with error code: " + errorCode);
}
#Override
public void onAdLeave() {
super.onAdLeave();
Log.d(TAG, "onAdLeave");
}
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
super.onAdClosed();
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Ad Closed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onAdClicked() {
Log.d(TAG, "onAdClicked");
super.onAdClicked();
}
#Override
public void onAdOpened() {
Log.d(TAG, "onAdOpened");
super.onAdOpened();
}
});
AdParam adParam = new AdParam.Builder().build();
huaweiInterstitialAd.loadAd(adParam);
}
The problem only occurs if you use:
implementation 'com.huawei.hms:ads:3.4.46.300'
But everything works fine with :
implementation 'com.huawei.hms:ads-lite:13.4.46.300'

Display AlertDialog in a View after observing a completable

I want to display an AlertDialog in my View showing that the result was successful,
private void actionUpdateProfesional() {
btnSave.setOnClickListener(view -> {
alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setTitle("Wait!")
.setMessage("Are you sure you want update your data?")
.setPositiveButton("YES", (dialogInterface, i) -> presenter.updateProfile())
.setNegativeButton("NO", null)
.create();
alertDialog.show();
});
}
after my Completable made onComplete on my Presenter:
#Override
public void updateProfile() {
Disposable d = updateInfoInteractor
.build(new ProfileUpdateInfoInteractor.Param(view.getPhone(), view.getLocation(), view.getDescription()))
.observeOn(schedulers.main())
.subscribeWith(new DisposableCompletableObserver() {
#Override
public void onComplete() {
Timber.d("Profile edited");
}
#Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
Timber.d("Error at edit profile");
}
});
}

But if you want to solve this problem by MVP Architecture you have to create new method in your View interface. Because presenter does not do UI logic or your architecture will be broken.
public interface MyObjectView {
void resultSuccess(int status);
}
MyObjectView myView
Public MyPresenterConstructor(MyObjectView myView){
this.myView = myView;
}
#Override
public void updateProfile() {
Disposable d = updateInfoInteractor
.build(new ProfileUpdateInfoInteractor.Param(view.getPhone(), view.getLocation(), view.getDescription()))
.observeOn(schedulers.main())
.subscribeWith(new DisposableCompletableObserver() {
#Override
public void onComplete() {
Timber.d("Profile edited");
// Show alert dialog here!
myView.resultSuccess(200) // Okee
}
#Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
Timber.d("Error at edit profile");
}
});
}
Then, do not forget to implement your View interface in your Activity (UI). then call your alertDialog.
public class MainActivity extend AppCompatActivity implement MyObjectView{
…….
#Override
Public void resultSuccess(int code){
// call your dialog here
}
…..
}

You should call the actionUpdateProfesional() method of your view from the onComplete method.
You'll probably need to add the actionUpdateProfesional() to your View interface that you reference in your presenter.
It would be something like this:
#Override
public void updateProfile() {
Disposable d = updateInfoInteractor
.build(new ProfileUpdateInfoInteractor.Param(view.getPhone(), view.getLocation(), view.getDescription()))
.observeOn(schedulers.main())
.subscribeWith(new DisposableCompletableObserver() {
#Override
public void onComplete() {
Timber.d("Profile edited");
if (view != null) {
view.actionUpdateProfesional()
}
}
#Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
Timber.d("Error at edit profile");
}
});
}

You have not actually asked a question, so I'm assuming that you are wondering how to show your alert dialog on a complete event. You can to this by simply instantiating it again in the onComplete() function.
#Override
public void updateProfile() {
Disposable d = updateInfoInteractor
.build(new ProfileUpdateInfoInteractor.Param(view.getPhone(), view.getLocation(), view.getDescription()))
.observeOn(schedulers.main())
.subscribeWith(new DisposableCompletableObserver() {
#Override
public void onComplete() {
Timber.d("Profile edited");
// Show alert dialog here!
alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setTitle("Wait!")
.setMessage("Are you sure you want update your data?")
.setPositiveButton("YES", (dialogInterface, i) ->
presenter.updateProfile())
.setNegativeButton("NO", null)
.create();
alertDialog.show();
}
#Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
Timber.d("Error at edit profile");
}
});
}
Hope this helps!

Show a progress Bar when Rewarded video Ads is loading

I want to use Rewarded video ads (Admob) but I want to show a progress bar while the video ads is loading
I already try to did it with async task just to see if the video will load but it didn't work
#SuppressLint("StaticFieldLeak")
public class videoAd extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
#Override
protected void doInBackground(Void... voids) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
mRewardedVideoAd.loadAd("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/5224354917", new AdRequest.Builder().build());
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Integer integer) {
super.onPostExecute(integer);
if (mRewardedVideoAd.isLoaded()){
Toast.makeText(SetFullWallpaper.this, "Video loaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
mRewardedVideoAd.show();
}
}
}
Now I want to load a progress bar if the video is not loaded yet
Thank you

This is how I did it:
I had a button, which when clicked showed the ad, so I had a boolean variable which tracked whether the button has been clicked:
boolean buttonClicked = false
These lines were in my onCreate function:
mRewardedVideoAd = MobileAds.getRewardedVideoAdInstance(getContext());
rewardedVideoAdListener = new RewardedVideoAdListener() {
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLoaded() {
if(buttonClicked) {
showAd();
}
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdOpened() {
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoStarted() {
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdClosed() {
loadRewardedVideoAd();
}
#Override
public void onRewarded(RewardItem rewardItem) {
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLeftApplication() {
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad(int i) {
if(buttonClicked) {
progressBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Please try again later", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();
}
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoCompleted() {
}
};
mRewardedVideoAd.setRewardedVideoAdListener(rewardedVideoAdListener);
loadRewardedVideoAd();
pointsButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
showAd();
}
});
This was my showAd function:
public void showAd(){
if (mRewardedVideoAd.isLoaded()) {
progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
mRewardedVideoAd.show();
buttonClicked = false;
} else {
loadRewardedVideoAd();
progressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
buttonClicked = true;
}
}
How this works is, the app tries to load the ad in the background by calling the loadRewaredVideoAd() function when the activity/fragment is created. Then when the user clicks the button,showAd() function is called and one of two things happen:
1) If the ad was successfully loaded, it shows the ad.
2) If not, it calls loadRewardedVideoAd() again and shows a progressbar this time. It also sets buttonClicked to true. Then if the ad loads, the onRewardedVideoAdLoaded() function is called which calls showAd() again and this time the 1st option happens.
If the ad didn't load this time as well, then onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad(int i)is called and it shows a toast saying the user to try again later.

add OnProgressUpdate() in your class that extends AsyncTask and add progress dialog in this.

I am placing an admob video, which is executed when you enter the activity. In my case, I put an executable loop to start the video when it is already loaded.
if (mRewardedVideoAd.isLoaded()) {
mRewardedVideoAd.show();
}else{
loadRewardedVideoAd();
}
This is part of all my code
private boolean started = false;
private Handler handler = new Handler();
private void initializeAdMob() {
mRewardedVideoAd = MobileAds.getRewardedVideoAdInstance(this);
mRewardedVideoAd.setRewardedVideoAdListener(this);
loadRewardedVideoAd();
}
private void loadRewardedVideoAd() {
if (!mRewardedVideoAd.isLoaded()) {
mRewardedVideoAd.loadAd(getString(R.string.id_block_activity), new AdRequest.Builder().build());
}
}
private void showRewardedVideoAd() {
if (BaseInteractor.isNetworkAvailable(this)) {
showProgressBar(true);
start();
}
}
private Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
if (mRewardedVideoAd.isLoaded()) {
mRewardedVideoAd.show();
}else{
loadRewardedVideoAd();
}
if (started) {
start();
}
}
};
public void stop() {
started = false;
handler.removeCallbacks(runnable);
}
public void start() {
started = true;
handler.postDelayed(runnable, 2000);
}
finally I stop the runnable in
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdOpened() {
showProgressBar(false);
stop();
}
I hope this helps you.

How to wait for a AdMob Rewarded Video to Load properly

I am trying to use the AdMob Rewarded Ad in my Android application.
In order to include it in the refered app, I need to wait for the rewarded video to load after the user click the buttom.
I am trying it throughout the code bellow, but I get the error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: showAd must be called on the main UI
thread.
When the buttom is clicked:
b_r_ans.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(isSomBotaoLigado() && loaded[0])
soundPool.play(soundID, MyApplication.getVolumeBotao(), MyApplication.getVolumeBotao(), 1, 0, 1f);
Toast.makeText(MyApplication.getAppContext(),carregando_rv, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Thread t_rv = new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
while(!rv_loaded){
try {
Thread.sleep(500);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
});
t_rv.start();
try {
t_rv.join();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
mRewardedVideoAd.show();
}
});
Overrided the listener:
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLoaded() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdLoaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
rv_loaded = true;
}
Using the mRewardedVideoAd.isLoaded() function triggers the same issue.
How can I wait for the video to load properly?

It appears to happen that you are calling show from a different thread to the UI so I'd try to force its execution on the main thread like:
// Get a handler that can be used to post to the main thread
Handler mainHandler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
Runnable myRunnable = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
if (mRewardedVideoAd.isLoaded()) {
mRewardedVideoAd.show();
}
};
mainHandler.post(myRunnable);

You can also disable the button until the ad is loaded, then in the onRewardedVideoAdLoaded function enable the button:
override fun onRewardedVideoAdLoaded() {
ad_btn.isEnabled = true
}
Hope it helps. This is the implementation that I am using.

Solved it through this code:
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLoaded() {
//Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdLoaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
rv_loaded = true;
if(goToAnswers)
mRewardedVideoAd.show();
goToAnswers = false;
}
b_r_ans.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(isSomBotaoLigado() && loaded[0])
soundPool.play(soundID, MyApplication.getVolumeBotao(), MyApplication.getVolumeBotao(), 1, 0, 1f);
Toast.makeText(MyApplication.getAppContext(),carregando_rv, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
if(mRewardedVideoAd.isLoaded())
mRewardedVideoAd.show();
else goToAnswers=true;
}
});

This code will show a ProgressDialog while loading the reward video:
package com.mountzoft.waitForrewardvideoProperly;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.content.Context;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.MobileAds;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.reward.RewardItem;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.reward.RewardedVideoAd;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.reward.RewardedVideoAdListener;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements RewardedVideoAdListener {
private RewardedVideoAd mAd;
private ProgressDialog mProgressDialog;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mProgressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
mProgressDialog.setMessage("Please wait... Loading Reward Video Ad!");
mProgressDialog.setCancelable(false);
}
private final showRewardVideoAd() {
mProgressDialog.show();
initializeRewardVideoAd();
loadRewardedVideoAd();
}
private void initializeRewardVideoAd(){
String adMobAppId = BuildConfig.AD_MOB_APP_ID; //id is stored in build gradle file
MobileAds.initialize(this, adMobAppId);
mAd = MobileAds.getRewardedVideoAdInstance(this);
mAd.setRewardedVideoAdListener(this);
}
private void loadRewardedVideoAd() {
String admobAdUnitId = BuildConfig.ADMOB_AD_UNIT_ID;//id is stored in build gradle
mAd.loadAd(admobAdUnitId,
new AdRequest.Builder().build());
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLoaded() {
mAd.show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdOpened() {
mAd = null;
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoStarted() {
mProgressDialog.dismiss();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdClosed() {
}
#Override
public void onRewarded(RewardItem rewardItem) {
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLeftApplication() {
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad(int i) {
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoCompleted(){
}
}

If you need to wait until rewarded ad loading use SingleLiveEvent. Please refer following code snippet.
private val isRewardedAdLoaded: LiveData<Event<Boolean>>
get() = _isRewardedAdLoaded
private var _isRewardedAdLoaded: MutableLiveData<Event<Boolean>> = MutableLiveData()
I used this is in fragment. So this from onViewCreated()
rewardedAd = createAndLoadRewardedAd()
and I post loading state as following
private fun createAndLoadRewardedAd(): RewardedAd {
val rewarded = RewardedAd(requireContext(), getString(R.string.admob_rewarded_id_test))
val adLoadCallback = object : RewardedAdLoadCallback() {
override fun onRewardedAdLoaded() {
Log.e(TAG, "onRewardedAdLoaded")
_isRewardedAdLoaded.postValue(Event(true))
}
override fun onRewardedAdFailedToLoad(errorCode: Int) {
_isRewardedAdLoaded.postValue(Event(false))
}
}
rewarded.loadAd(Builder().build(), adLoadCallback)
return rewarded
}
this is rewarded ad show method
private fun showRewardedAds(rewarded: RewardedAd) {
rewarded.show(requireActivity(), object : RewardedAdCallback() {
override fun onRewardedAdOpened() {
Log.e(TAG, "onRewardedAdOpened")
}
override fun onRewardedAdClosed() {
Log.e(TAG, "onRewardedAdClosed")
rewardedAd = createAndLoadRewardedAd()
}
override fun onUserEarnedReward(rewardItem: RewardItem) {
Log.e(TAG, "onUserEarnedReward")
translateText()
}
override fun onRewardedAdFailedToShow(errorCode: Int) {
translateText()
}
})
}
Finally I called as following
R.id.btnTranslate -> {
if (rewardedAd.isLoaded){
showMessage(
getString(R.string.translate_ads_show_warning_title),
getString(R.string.translate_ads_show_warning_msg)
)
} else {
progress.setVisible(true)
isRewardedAdLoaded.observe(viewLifecycleOwner, Observer {
it.getContentIfNotHandled()?.let { loaded ->
if (loaded and progress.isVisible){
progress.setVisible(false)
showMessage(
getString(R.string.translate_ads_show_warning_title),
getString(R.string.translate_ads_show_warning_msg)
)
}
}
})
}
}
