Voici comment j'ai procédé au mien, j'ai créé 2 applications l'une avec une activité d'essai l'autre sans,
j'ai téléchargé celui sans activité d'essai pour jouer au magasin en tant qu'application payante,
et celui avec une activité d'essai en tant qu'application gratuite.
L'application gratuite lors du premier lancement propose des options d'essai et d'achat en magasin.Si l'utilisateur sélectionne l'achat en magasin, elle est redirigée vers le magasin pour que l'utilisateur l'achète, mais si l'utilisateur clique sur l'essai, cela l'amène à l'activité d'essai.
NB: j'ai utilisé l'option 3 comme @snctln mais avec des modifications
d'abord , je ne dépendais pas de l'heure de l'appareil, j'ai obtenu mon temps du fichier php qui fait l'enregistrement d'essai à la base de données,
deuxièmement , j'ai utilisé le numéro de série de l'appareil pour identifier de manière unique chaque appareil,
Enfin , l'application dépend de la valeur de temps renvoyée par la connexion au serveur et non de son propre temps, de sorte que le système ne peut être contourné que si le numéro de série de l'appareil est modifié, ce qui est assez stressant pour un utilisateur.
voici donc mon code (pour l'activité d'essai):

$totalRows_registered = $DBH->rowCount();
// DETERMINE HOW MANY ROWS OF RESULTS WE GOT
$results = $DBH->resultset();
if (!$IMEINumber) {
return 'Device serial number could not be determined.';
} else if ($totalRows_registered > 0) {

$results = $results['date_reg'];
return $results;

// Instantiate variables
$trial_unique_id = es_generate_guid(60);
$time_reg = date('H:i:s');
$date_reg = date('Y-m-d');
$DBH->beginTransaction();
// opening db connection
//NOW Insert INTO DB
$DBH->query("INSERT INTO trials (time_reg, date_reg, date_time, device_id, trial_unique_id) VALUES (:time_reg, :date_reg, NOW(), :device_id, :trial_unique_id)");
$arrayValue = array(':time_reg' => $time_reg, ':date_reg' => $date_reg, ':device_id' => $IMEINumber, ':trial_unique_id' => $trial_unique_id);

return $date_reg;
}
}
puis sur l'activité principale, j'utilise la préférence partagée (installDate créée dans l'activité d'essai) pour surveiller le nombre de jours restants et si les jours sont terminés, je bloque l'interface utilisateur de l'activité principale avec un message qui les amène au magasin pour acheter.
Le seul inconvénient que je vois ici est que si un utilisateur Rogue achète l'application payante et décide de partager avec des applications comme Zender, le partage de fichiers ou même l'héberger le fichier apk directement sur un serveur pour que les gens le téléchargent gratuitement. Mais je suis sûr que je modifierai bientôt cette réponse avec une solution à cela ou un lien vers la solution.
J'espère que cela sauve une âme ... un jour
Codage heureux ...
