[android-developers] Re: LVL - live test

Just done this test myself and get the same result as you. That is a
new google account that has not bought the application is getting the
ALLOW response.

Test details:
* I did a set tests on the emulator with my market account and got the
expected results ie. the test responses from the market profile.
* I then created a new Google account and tested the Strict Policy.
The check returned ALLOW - this was NOT expected.

Test Implementation Details:

Application:
* LVL Test - skeleton test app with 2 buttons for one for [Server] and
the other for [Strict] policy check.
* Nothing subclassed or overridden, just using the classes from the
library.

Market:
* Test application LVL Test uploaded to the market and saved but NOT
published.
* Test response set to "Respond Normally"

Emulator:
* Android 2.2 with google APIs
* Started emulator with wipe user data and then added my test google
account.
* From Eclipse deployed my LVL Test application to the emulator.
* Ran a strict policy check - Result was ALLOW.

Can anyone give my any insights?

----------------------------------------------

my activity:

public class LvlTestActivity
extends Activity
implements OnClickListener,
LicenseCheckerCallback

in onCreate(...):

deviceId =
Settings.Secure.getString(getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(),
Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
obfuscator = new AESObfuscator(SALT, getPackageName(), deviceId);
serverManagedPolicy = new
ServerManagedPolicy(getApplicationContext(), obfuscator);
strictPolicy = new StrictPolicy();

in onClick(...):

case R.id.strict_polity_button:
{
policyCheckResultTextView.setText("start StrictPolicy check");
licenseChecker = new LicenseChecker(this, strictPolicy,
PUBLIC_KEY);
licenseChecker.checkAccess(this);
break;
}

public void allow()
{
displayResult("Licence check = ALLOW");
}

public void applicationError(ApplicationErrorCode errorCode)
{
displayResult("Licence check = APPLICATION_ERROR, code=" +
errorCode);
}

public void dontAllow()
{
displayResult("Licence check = DONT_ALLOW");
}
