Payment Using Paypal on Android Becoming Reality

Written by

The option to purchase Android Market goods using your Paypal account took a step closer yesterday in an announcement from the Paypal team.  The Mobile Payments Library was made available to Android developers, allowing new apps to include the option to checkout using Paypal…

We know you want a quick and easy way to integrate payments into the Android apps you’re building, and we’re pleased to announce that our Mobile Payments Library is now available for the Android.

The Mobile Payments Library allows you to add checkout functionality for donations, personal payments, physical goods and services sold through apps on the Android phone without having to worry about keeping customers’ personal financial information secure.

There are people on both sides of Team Paypal, but let me just say that while you may not all be huge fans of their services, at least we’ll now have options.

Oh, and I officially love Google I/O.

    hmm. i read that as App Developers can put payment functionality into their Apps for selling stuff, not that you can pay for the App in the Market using PayPal?

    Off topic but I posted a couple days ago about my search soft key going out on the phone along with the right 15% of my touch screen phone. Well my entire screen went out and my phone pretty much blew up on me. Opening all my apps going into the browser and sending texts. Then finally today it completely died. I went into the Verizon store and they had had over 20 droids this week alone with that same problem. Hopefully its just a local thing and wont affect that many peoples. I am just trying to warn everyone else out there about it. I got another one on the way for free from motorolas 1 year warranty. Just giving everyone a heads up

        I live in Michigan. I have had the same apps for a long time. I dont usually get apps unless they are rated pretty high or I see them on this site really. They said at least 20 went down. Recently I checked out droid forums and another 10 or so people from couple other states had that same problem. So hopefully its an isolated incident. Only thing that was weird is that everyones problem happened on the exact same day this past wednesday.
