Android and Checkout API for app purchases

I want to know if its possible / legal (and not the terms of service) can use google checkout api for Android application to support when buying applications. The types of items purchased will be a bit of extra coins, where they can be bought several times.

I know that for this you will need to get the user credentials or point them to the verification page or something else. I want to know if this can be done in the application by opening a web view for the verification process, and then receiving a callback to a custom URL on my server, which will allow the application to see that the purchase was successful. Something like what the Android market is doing for app purchases.

Thanks for any answers. I currently don't have code to display, as I study this before devoting time to creating something that I cannot use. In addition, the android will support its own in-app purchases in new versions of sdk.

Talked (Android evangelist) Reto Meier to Google Tech Days about this, and he said that it’s normal to shop between apps on the market. You must abide by other rules - the most common is that you only need to buy content that is consumed on your mobile phone. Virtual “coins” are on rather thin ice, some countries prohibit issuing “virtual money”, but you can essentially do the same with a small different paradigm. Hope this helps.

The documentation on the Android market explicitly states that you can check it out.

Important: you cannot use the Google Checkout API to issue refunds or cancel transactions in the application. You must do this manually for your Google Checkout merchant account. However, you can use the Google Checkout API to get order information.
