I am developing an android application which uses android pay for the payment. In the https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/android-pay/#13 website. This is what the webiste write in the documentation "Tap the Buy button and select the fake Visa credit card from before." but there are no fake account that appear. I also follow other tutorials that they have this fake account. Card Number: 4622 9431 2999 9901 Expiry: 12/17 CVV: 213
but after adding the address etc. android pay says it cannot add the credit card. How can I resolve this for developing purposes?
To add some "fake"/sandbox card enable Sandbox Mode by executing following commands from command prompt/terminal:
adb shell
cd /sdcard/Download;
rm -f android_pay_env_override_*;
touch android_pay_env_override_sandbox;
Once done restart your phone and add following test credit card detail:
Card Number: 4622 9431 2999 9901
Expiry: 12/17
CVV: 213
After that for billing address you can use any valid billing address and your fake card will be ready to use.
I found one more detail on android pay github issue where one of the contributor mentioned that You will need to add a real card to Android Pay, and then if you test your app using the sandbox you will not actually be charged. Link to this comment: https://github.com/android-pay/androidpay-quickstart/issues/6#issuecomment-164813626
I am not sure if real card wont be charged when sandbox is enabled.
To revert from Sandbox to production execute following commands from command prompt/terminal:
adb shell
cd /sdcard/Download;
rm -f android_pay_env_override_*;
