currency codes

I'd like to be able to send a currency code to our analytics system once an IAP has been successful. Am I correct in assuming that this is only available by analysing the text string returned in the price member of the items data returned from an itemdatarequest? Thanks in advance for any useful help.

Yes, you need to parse the result to get the Currency value.

To parse the String I would then need a grammar definition for the price string. Is something like that available?

Hi, Thank you for your post. NumberFormat is the abstract base class for all number formats. This class provides the interface for formatting and parsing numbers. You can use the java.text.NumberFormat for parsing the price string. Hope this information helps you.

I already looked into that solution. Unfortunately, you need to know the locale of the price to do that. Although I have the locale the user installed on the device, I can not be sure that this matches the locale from the APIs product.

this remains an issue - either guidance on how to parse the string or a way to get non-formatted price/currency data is required to be able to report correctly. when will this be available?
