[FIXED] How to obtain transaction id or other information in paypal mobile SDK

Issue

I have recently implement paypal mobile payment tutorial using following tutorial: http://androiddevelopmentanddiscussion.blogspot.com/2014/05/paypal-integration-in-android.html

and in response i get following information:

{
    "response": {
        "state": "approved",
        "id": "PAY-1GM934738N157023RKR7OWYI",
        "create_time": "2014-12-03T10:52:17Z",
        "intent": "sale"
    },
    "client": {
        "platform": "Android",
        "paypal_sdk_version": "2.1.0",
        "product_name": "PayPal-Android-SDK",
        "environment": "sandbox"
    },
    "response_type": "payment"
}




{
    "short_description": "Painting 1",
    "amount": "8",
    "intent": "sale",
    "currency_code": "USD"
}

any one guide me how can i obtain transaction id and other information in mobile sdk? as i see payment from paypal mobile sdk id is different then the actual transaction id.

any help would be appreciated.

Solution

You can retrieve a payment resource using the payment ID returned by the SDK: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/#look-up-a-payment-resource

Typically, this would be done from your server and not from the mobile device. The GET operation will require an access token generated using both your client_id and client_secret.

• getting a payment resource: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/#payment_get
• REST authentication and headers: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/auth-headers/
