When trying to query for in-app purchases using getPurchases(), I cannot figure out how to replicate the issue, but sometimes a RemoteException is thrown. I have a try-catch block, but 

Bundle ownedItems;
try {
    ownedItems = mService.getPurchases(3, getPackageName(), "inapp", null);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
    // What do I put here?
}

What causes RemoteException to be thrown, is it preventable? And how can I see what purchases have been made when it's thrown? I need to be able to see what purchases have been made. I have searched but failed to find any details regarding this.

Edit: Here is the stacktrace

  • can you share the stacktrace to better understand what kind of RemoteException? – Pavan Apr 02 '18 at 11:32
  • @Pavan Shared the stacktrace – Trevor Apr 02 '18 at 11:55
  • `DeadObjectException` - The object you are calling has died because its hosting process no longer exists. Can you override `onDestroy` in your `IInAppBillingService` and check if the service still running ? – Pavan Apr 02 '18 at 12:06
