Hi all Just wondering if I can use LVL to check that the user is licensed to use a DIFFERENT app from the current one -- ie. one with a different package name.
Why would I want to do this? I'm developing an app which I'm considering publishing using a free + pro license model. The main app would be a free, ad supported app. To turn off ads the user would purchase a pro license key from the market (published as a paid app containing no functionality). The user would continune to use the app that was downloaded for free, which checks if the paid app is installed, and if so it disables ads. I prefer this model to a fully featured paid app model, as it eliminates the need to migrate data from the free version to the paid when the user upgrades. Under this model I would like the free app to check if the paid app is installed, and if so the free app would then use LVL to check if the user has purchased the paid app via the market. Will it be possible for the free app to pass the package name of the paid app to LVL, and to get back a result confirming whether the paid app has been purchased or not? Looking at the LVL source code I suspect I can do this by modifying the constructor of LicenseChecker to set mPAckageName to a supplied argument rather than setting it to mContext.getPackageName(). Are there any gotcha's I may be missing? Thanks ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
