Dealing with no internet situation

[gilamran]

Hi,
What is the best practices regarding in-app-purchases and internet issues?
Should I listen to network availability?
Should I init the library only if there's internet available?
Should I re-init if the network was disconnected and reconnected?

I'm shooting in the dark here, would really appreciate your knowledge.
Thanks!

I was just thinking about the same situation. Probably want to look here for a way of checking for network availability:

I haven't installed and tried the library yet, but assume it'll throw some exceptions when you initialise it with no internet available - will then need to prompt the user to check their internet connection.

While working on this, I found the init will fail if there's no internet (for the first load), and will not fail if the app was loaded (Google play cache), also it will not fail on getting the products... but fail purchasing.
Breaking the internet connection between purchase success, and consume will leave the product in a "user already bought this item" that we somehow have to understand...

All these off-line situations are not formalized and actually should work the same on all apps...

Anyone has a good workflow for these situations?
