question

Hi Jamie, Thank you for writing to us. First thing, we do not check the end date to confirm the purchase, instead we do it to confirm whether the subscription is still valid and not expired. And we do it periodically in onPurchaseUpdatesResponse(). Below is async task which is started from mentioned callback. private class PurchaseUpdatesAsyncTask extends AsyncTask { @Override protected Boolean doInBackground(PurchaseUpdatesData... args) { PurchaseUpdatesData purchaseUpdatesData = args[0]; Set receipts = purchaseUpdatesData.getReceipts(); LatestSubscriptionPeriod latestSubscriptionPeriod = new LatestSubscriptionPeriod(); for (Receipt receipt : receipts) { String parentSku = receipt.getSku(); SubscriptionPeriod subscriptionPeriod = receipt .getSubscriptionPeriod(); // Store latest subscription period // (the one with the latest start date) for each Parent SKU latestSubscriptionPeriod.putIfLatest(parentSku, receipt); } Map latestSubPeriodPerSKU = latestSubscriptionPeriod.getAll(); for (Entry entry : latestSubPeriodPerSKU.entrySet()) { String parentSku = entry.getKey(); Receipt receiptWithLatestSubPeriod = entry.getValue(); SubscriptionPeriod latestSubPeriod = receiptWithLatestSubPeriod .getSubscriptionPeriod(); // If SubscriptionPeriod EndDate is NULL, // then subscription has NOT ended yet. Date now = new Date(); [b] boolean isSubscriptionActive = (latestSubPeriod.getStartDate().compareTo(now) < 0) && (latestSubPeriod.getEndDate() == null);[/b] String sku = MySKU.valueForParentSKU(parentSku).getSku(); //Notify the app the about subscription status of this sku } // Subscriptions are NOT revoked as customer would have paid for it // at beginning of subscription and is entitled to it for // subscription period. // Therefore, no need to call getRevokedSkus() for subscriptions return true; } } Please refer the subscription sample app for complete example.

on https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/in-app-purchasing/documentation/quick-start.html Under Subscription section you have the following which i also used for onPurchaseUpdatesResponse to check the subscription is valid. The code won't work as it's a Date. Need to be updated to as you have posted here public class MyPurchasingObserver extends BasePurchasingObserver { ... public void onPurchaseResponse(PurchaseResponse response) { if (status == PurchaseResponse.getPurchaseRequestStatus.SUCCESSFUL) { Receipt receipt = response.getReceipt(); String itemType = receipt.getItemType(); String sku = receipt.getSku(); String purchaseToken = receipt.getPurchaseToken(); SubscriptionPeriod subscriptionPeriod = receipt.getSubscriptionPeriod(); Date subscriptionStart = subscriptionPeriod.getStartDate(); Date subscriptionEnd = subscriptionPeriod.getEndDate(); Date today = new Date(); [b] if (subscriptionStart <= today && (subscriptionEnd == null || today <=subscriptionEnd))[/b] { // Entitle subscription } } } ... } Message was edited by: Jamie Hibbard

Thanks a lot Jamie for bringing this in our notice. We will get it corrected ASAP.
