[android-developers] Re: LVL "LICENSED" Test Respone

2010-11-05 Thread bagelboy
I think the thing to do is simply not use the google extras. Why do
you need them? All you really need to know is whether an application
is licensed or not licensed. Google may say that the verification time
of the licensing is 2 days say (I have no idea what the normal
response would be), but why use their values? The same goes with
retries, just use your own values then it doesn't matter whether
google sends extras or not.

It's bizzare, they have designed a system for testing that cannot be
used to accurately test an application's response!

The only solution is to publish an app that doesn't work and then fix
it! What are they thinking? ARE they thinking?

It's been disclosed on this forum before that test responses aren't
cached. I haven't looked into how that's implemented, but leaving
those extras blank would probably do it. So I suspect this is by
design.

An obvious implication is that the test responses aren't an accurate
simulation of how your LVL implementation will work for real users;
unfortunate, but true. The usual advice is to set up another Google
account for testing, purchase your app from it (or not, depending on
what you're trying to test), and work with that. Seems kludgey, but
AFAIK that's the only way.

I ran into the same thing last night although I didn't have time to
really delve deep into the problem so I am not sure whether it is my
code or a market problem.

Are you using the stock code?
