All right all you android guys, I'm trying to integrate the Paypal API to make my app donations based. 2 questions:
I can see the button, I click it, and it doesn't do anything! (the activity for checkoutIntent doesn't fire?)
What are your experiences with donation based android apps? I want to make about $250 a month of this thing, is that even possible?
