  Usually with such plugins there are 2 parts
  
  1) Gideros part, which consists of
  Copying .java files to the right place
  Copying .so files to the right place
  In main activity loading .so file
  In main activity providing external class
  
  2) Library part, and you can probably find much better instructions on library provider website, in this case, if you are interested in Google IAB, then you can look for instructions on Google IAB for Android Studio

  Following the instructions in the link provided enabled me to get the .aidl file setup in Android Studio and the plugin is working in my game, thanks @ar2sawseen
  
  I am trying to add a consumable item in my game and I can purchase the item fine but how do I inform google that I have consumed the item? on this page there is the following section..

  Managing consumable purchases in your application   Here is the basic flow for purchasing a consumable in-app product:   1. Launch a purchase flow with a getBuyIntent call 2. Get a response Bundlefrom Google Play indicating if the purchase completed successfully. 3. If the purchase was successful, consume the purchase by making a consumePurchase call. 4. Get a response code from Google Play indicating if the consumption completed successfully. 5. If the consumption was successful, provision the product in your application.

  In C:\Gideros\All Plugins\iab\install.html there doesn't seem to be a function to call consumePurchase () so when I go to purchase more of my items I get an error telling me that the item has already been purchased (presumably because I haven't called consumePurchase() on it).
  
  None of the examples in C:\Gideros\All Plugins\iab\examples\GiderosProject show how to accomplish this either.

  @antix Consumable items are your responsibility. You decide which items are consumable in your code and when / how they are consumed.
  
  As an example, I set up our consumable items like this:

  self.IAB:setProducts({coinsLow = self.coinsLowID, coinsHigh = self.coinsHighID, purchaseApp = self.purchaseAppID }) self.IAB:setConsumables({"coinsLow", "coinsHigh"})

  So, in the case of coinsLow and coinsHigh, I set the number of coins a user has when the purchase completes successfully. The user will them consume them over time, After the coins have run out, you can offer more.
  
  I execute the following:

  self.IAB:addEventListener(Event.PURCHASE_COMPLETE, self.onIABPurchaseComplete, self ) ... self.IAB:purchase("coinsHigh")

  If successful then

  Event.PURCHASE_COMPLETE

  is raised:

  function InAppBilling:onIABPurchaseComplete(e) print "InAppBilling:onIABPurchaseComplete(e)" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- EVENT RAISED WHEN PURCHASE SUCCESSFUL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ local eType = e:getType()   if eType == "purchaseComplete" then print("Purchase complete") self:_savePurchase(e)   end end

  
  
  I hope this helps.
