37  The following table lists all of the server response codes that are sent from
38  Google Play to your application. Google Play sends the response code
39  synchronously as an integer mapped to the {@code RESPONSE_CODE} key in the
40  response {@code Bundle}. Your application must handle all of these response
41  codes.

108<p>
109  This method returns product details for a list of product IDs. In the
110  response {@code Bundle} sent by Google Play, the query results are stored in
111  a String {@code ArrayList} mapped to the {@code DETAILS_LIST} key. Each
112  String in the details list contains product details for a single product in
113  JSON format. The fields in the JSON string with the product details are
114  summarized in table 2.

266<h3 id="upgrade-getBuyIntentToReplaceSkus">The getBuyIntentToReplaceSkus()
267  method</h3>
268
269<p>This method is used to upgrade or downgrade a subscription purchase. The method
270is similar to <a href="#getBuyIntent"><code>getBuyIntent()</code></a>, except
271that it takes a list of already-purchased SKUs that are to be
272replaced with the SKU being purchased. When the user completes the purchase,
273Google Play cancels the old SKUs and credits the user with the unused value of
274their subscription time on a pro-rated basis. Google Play applies this credit
275to the new subscription, and does not begin billing the user for the new
276subscription until after the credit is used up.</p>
277
278<p>This method was added with version 5 of the in-app billing API. To verify
279that the method is reported, send an <code>isBillingSupported</code> AIDL
280request.</p>
281
282<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> You can only use this method for
283subscription purchases. If the passed <code>type</code> parameter is anything
284other than <code>"subs"</code>, the method returns
285<a href="#billing-codes"><code>BILLING_RESPONSE_RESULT_DEVELOPER_ERROR</code></a>.
286Furthermore, the passed SKUs may not include SKUs for seasonal
287subscriptions.</p>
288

290  This method returns a response code integer mapped to the {@code
291  RESPONSE_CODE} key, and a {@link android.app.PendingIntent} to launch the

293  key, as described in <a href=
294  "{@docRoot}google/play/billing/billing_integrate.html#purchase">Purchasing an
295  Item</a>. When it receives the {@link android.app.PendingIntent}, Google Play
296  sends a response {@code Intent} with the data for that purchase order. The
