Android license "LICENSED RESPONSE" error

Question

I have problem in testing the "LICENSED" response of LVL. I already changed the test license response in dashboard in edit profile in market web site.

When I set to "NOT LICENSED", it will prompt to buy or exit, but if I set to LICENSE, after waiting for "CHECKING LICENSE" progress bar, it will not load my main activity page, the check license loops infinitely, and I need to force close the process. I already added licensecheck Java file name in the manifest and included the intent section.

The following is what I have captured in logcat. Anyone have an idea what's going on? How do I fix my code?

public void allow() 
{
    Log.d("LicenseChecker","Allow");
    //Log.i("LICENSE", "allow");
    if (isFinishing()) 
    {
        // Don't update UI if Activity is finishing.
        return;
    }
    // Should allow user access.
    displayResult(getString(R.string.allow));

    // Should allow user access.
    startMainActivity();
}

Is this related to the cache response timestamp? If yes, how can I change and modify it?

W/ServerManagedPolicy(  312): License validity timestamp (VT) missing, caching for a minute
W/ServerManagedPolicy(  312): License retry timestamp (GT) missing, grace period disabled
W/ServerManagedPolicy(  312): Licence retry count (GR) missing, grace period disabled

---

Do I need to modify ServerManagedPolicy?

public boolean allowAccess() {
    long ts = System.currentTimeMillis();
    if (mLastResponse == LicenseResponse.LICENSED) {
        // Check if the LICENSED response occurred within the validity timeout.
        if (ts <= mValidityTimestamp) {
            // Cached LICENSED response is still valid.
            return true;
        }
    } else if (mLastResponse == LicenseResponse.RETRY &&
               ts < mLastResponseTime + MILLIS_PER_MINUTE) {
        // Only allow access if we are within the retry period or we haven't used up our
        // max retries.
        return (ts <= mRetryUntil || mRetryCount <= mMaxRetries);
    }
    return false;
}

Also, how can I do the following?

1. When there is no license (either no license in Google server or no cached license), then prompt disallow and go to market.

2. When there is a cached license, allow user to run apps (no matter if there is no network or no network connection).

3. When there is a license in Google server (network mode), but no cached license, allow user to run apps.

Answer 1

The messages about missing VT, GT, and GR are normal when you set the test response to anything other than "Respond normally." There may be a logic problem in your code. It might help if you could post the code for startMainActivity() and also your onCreate() method (and any relevant methods they call).
