Thanks very much for your reply! The Android apps I build for our company connect with our own web components, so we were thinking that if our app sent the order number to our server upon connection, it would enable us to manage any refund the customer might request later on more accurately. I suppose it could also be used for DRM purposes as well, but that's not what we currently have in mind.
I will do some investigation into the Google Checkout API, and I'll post any findings I'm able to make. Thanks again!
