edit 4/15: Catching nullpointer in IabHelper appears to have stopped this problem. I am no longer seeing the exceptions being thrown, I’m going to accept this as an answer.
edit 4/04: A little bit of a deeper dive. There are try catch blocks that handle RemoteExceptions and JSONExceptions for the queryPurchases method, but no NullPointerException handling. What I am going to try is include NullPointer Exception handling so IabHelper looks like this when trying to querySkuDetails:
catch (NullPointerException e) {
throw new IabException(IABHELPER_UNKNOWN_ERROR, "NullPointer while refreshing inventory.", e);
}
I just filed a bug on this:
https://code.google.com/p/marketbilling/issues/detail?id=114
Change
if (querySkuDetails) {
r = querySkuDetails(ITEM_TYPE_INAPP, inv, moreItemSkus);
if (r != BILLING_RESPONSE_RESULT_OK) {
throw new IabException(r, "Error refreshing inventory (querying prices of items).");
}
}
to
if (querySkuDetails) {
try {
r = querySkuDetails(ITEM_TYPE_INAPP, inv, moreItemSkus);
if (r != BILLING_RESPONSE_RESULT_OK) {
throw new IabException(r, "Error refreshing inventory (querying prices of items).");
}
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
throw new IabException(IABHELPER_UNKNOWN_ERROR, "NPE while refreshing inventory.", e);
}
}
Change
if (querySkuDetails) {
r = querySkuDetails(ITEM_TYPE_SUBS, inv, moreSubsSkus);
if (r != BILLING_RESPONSE_RESULT_OK) {
throw new IabException(r, "Error refreshing inventory (querying prices of subscriptions).");
}
}
to
if (querySkuDetails) {
try {
r = querySkuDetails(ITEM_TYPE_SUBS, inv, moreSubsSkus);
if (r != BILLING_RESPONSE_RESULT_OK) {
throw new IabException(r, "Error refreshing inventory (querying prices of subscriptions).");
}
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
throw new IabException(IABHELPER_UNKNOWN_ERROR, "NPE while refreshing inventory.", e);
}
}
