How do i add Google billing

Will try again with this question as no response last time. I find the developer guide from Google a little confusing so wanted to know if anyone knows of an easy guide to adding Google billing permissions to a buzztouch app. Any help welcome and thanks in advance.

Just the developer.Google guide. Can you direct me to how to add it to a buzztouch app easily? What's OAuth? You lost me.

your probably looking at using the Google Checkout API https://developers.google.com/checkout/ Integrating it natively into an app will require coding of a plug-in screen that talks to a back-end that process the transaction and parses the data to display on the screen. complex, not easy. (and I think using something like that in iOS apps is a no no anyways...) but you're talking Android anyways, correct? maybe you could do it by simply displaying a an mobile optimized HTML page in the app and using the Checkout Gadget or Buy Now Button options Google offers here? https://developers.google.com/checkout/developer/Google_Checkout_Comparison_Part_I OAuth = good stuff for using authorized Google Accounts in apps I'm trying to learn myself currently! https://developers.google.com/gdata/articles/oauth

Thanks for response. What i am looking to do is add the billing permissions to the manifest in order to sell in app content (details attached to a map pin) which requires to use Google's market payment system from which they take 30% commission as this is the only way they allow sale of digital in app products according to their new policy. There are a lot of code to be added so just wanted to know if anyone had added it to sell subscriptions from their app and maybe knew of a good easy to follow guide. Thanks
