[android-developers] Random network error in buy page activity (in app billing)

Hi,

we are preparing to release our app with In-App-Billing but we are
experiencing inconsistent behavior of the Market app.

After starting the "Buy Page" activity with the Intent returned from
the REQUEST_PURCHASE call we get a 'Network Error' from the Market App
in about 2 of 5 tries. In the log file, it looks like the Market app
can't connect to the server, despite the Internet connection being
available and stable (the app uses the Internet right before and after
the billing request).

Otherwise the billing works fine, it is just this error which appears
quite frequently and seemingly at random. So my guess is it is a bug
in the Market application / the billing server backend? Or any ideas
how we are using the In-App-Billing API incorrectly? The code is based
on the Dungeons sample app, of course ;)

The In-App products are "managed per user account" and published, the
app itself is not yet published (just like it says in the 'Testing In
App Billing' article).

Help is much appreciated!

Thanks,
Smox
