through the play store, or did you personally refund them? I'm thinking if you did it personally, you'd lose the 30% Google have already taken. If you did the refund through the store, does that mean that they then lose the app? On Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 4:34 PM, Steve Gabrilowitz steveg1

There is nothing inherently wrong with doing this, and it may make sense if you want to have some common processing for both intents. On the other hand if both intents have completely different processing then it it would probably make more sense to implement a different receiver. On Dec 15, 2013
