Price - is it possible to get the price of an item to display in the app?

hi, is it possible to get the price (and maybe some details) of the item to display in the app before the user presses the buy button? hopefully in appropriate currency? if so, how? thanks regards 101apps

Hi 101apps, Thank you for your post. Yes. It's certainly possible to get the details of the items inb the run time. If you call initiateItemDataRequest() with a set of sku names as arguments, you would receive a call back to onItemDataResponse() of observer with ItemDataResponse object. And itemDataResponse.getItemData() would return you a map of sku and Item objects. you can iterate all items and get the details of every item like price in correct currency, description etc. https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/in-app-purchasing/reference/api-reference.html

hi, fantastic! thanks but.... will it show the correct currency depending on country where the app is used? so in USA will it show the dollar sign and in UK sterling pound sign, etc thanks regards 101apps

Yes. It will show the correct currency value/symbol according the current market place.

hi, i notice when testing that the price does not show a currency symbol and that the trailing decimal digits are not shown (zeros). so for a price of $12.00 only 12 is displayed and for a price of $12.70 only 12.7 is displayed. is this correct? will it display correctly when live? thanks regards 101apps

Yes. In live getPrice() Returns the localized price of the item as a String. The price will include the currency symbol and be formatted appropriately based on the locale, i.e. in US $X.YZ and in France X,YZ€.
