Payment gets failed on back press.

[TalverseZaidi]

Hi there, I have a payment method of card whenever I do payment it shows a progress bar for processing and while showing progress bar If I presses the back button, it cancels my payment in the middle of processing, but it creates that payment on the backend successfully because confirmPayment is working fine and it is the PaymentResult which shows me the PaymentResult.Failed. I do not know why this is cancelling my payment.

I'm using latest version of the library 'com.stripe:stripe-android:20.15.3'

Android Version: all Android versions.

val paymentLauncher = PaymentLauncher.Companion.create(
            context,
            paymentConfiguration.publishableKey,
            paymentConfiguration.stripeAccountId,
            ::onPaymentResult
        )

 private fun onPaymentResult(paymentResult: PaymentResult) {
        when (paymentResult) {
            is PaymentResult.Completed -> {
                paymentProcessed(true, context.getString(R.string.SdqLblPaymentCompleted), mClientSecret)
            }
            is PaymentResult.Canceled -> {
                paymentProcessed(false, context.getString(R.string.SdqLblPaymentCancelled), null)
            }
            is PaymentResult.Failed -> {
                // This string comes from the PaymentIntent's error message.
                // See here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/object#payment_intent_object-last_payment_error-message
                paymentProcessed(false, context.getString(R.string.SdqLblPaymentFailed).localize(paymentResult.throwable.message), null)            }
        }
    }

Hi @TalverseZaidi 👋 Thanks for sending this in. I can understand the confusion.

For some context: When you call paymentLauncher.confirm(), we launch a transparent activity to confirm the intent and handle any authentication that might be required. Pressing the back button during intent confirmation closes that activity, and it reports back a failed payment result (even if the payment goes through on the backend).

This is admittedly not a great behavior. Let me check in with the team and figure out how we can best improve it.

Hi @tillh-stripe 👋 Thanks for your understanding.
It's been a major issue for our release, and it is in pending with this issue. Because, in some way, if user cancels his payment while it is being processed, it will appear to have been cancelled even though the money has already been processed on the backend. Please make sure to find a solution as soon as you can so we can release our product.

Hi @TalverseZaidi, I merged a fix just now. It’ll be part of the next release (presumably 20.15.5) next week. Feel free to reach out again if other issues come up.
