hi there, give me a moment to catch up

Alright for the mean time, I'll paste snippets here

#

    val logLevel = LogLevel.VERBOSE
    val tokenProvider = TokenProvider()

    val listener = object : TerminalListener {
      override fun onConnectionStatusChange(status: ConnectionStatus) {
        println("[CONNECTION STATUS CHANGE]: $status")
      }

      override fun onPaymentStatusChange(status: PaymentStatus) {
        println("[PAYMENT STATUS CHANGE]: $status")

        if (status == PaymentStatus.READY && !firstTime && !hasStartedTapToPay) {
          firstTime = true
          hasStartedTapToPay = true

          // Ensure logging runs sequentially on IO
          CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launch {
            postLoggingSequential("MyFloOffline | TapToPay", "First Time Payment")

            // Switch back to Main thread for UI action
            withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
              val intent = Intent(this@MainActivity, TapToPayActivity::class.java)
              intent.putExtra("paymentIntentId", paymentIntentId)
              startActivityForResult(intent, 1234)
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
    CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launch {
      postLoggingSequential("MyFloOffline | TapToPay", "Initialize Terminal")
    }

    // Initialize Terminal (this is OK on IO)
    if (!Terminal.isInitialized()) {
      Terminal.initTerminal(applicationContext, logLevel, tokenProvider, listener)
    }

    val terminal = Terminal.getInstance()
    println("STATUS IN INITIALIZATION ${terminal.paymentStatus}")

    if (terminal.paymentStatus == PaymentStatus.READY) {
      CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launch {
        postLoggingSequential("MyFloOffline | TapToPay", "2nd Condition Block")
      }

      val intent = Intent(this@MainActivity, TapToPayActivity::class.java)
      intent.putExtra("paymentIntentId", paymentIntentId)
      startActivityForResult(intent, 1234)
    }
  }```

#

postLoggingSequential is my way to create logs on this because only client have the Samsung Active Tab 5.

Could you share how you declared isRunning?

sage thicket Dec 18, 2025, 12:26 AM

#

companion object {
private var isRunning = false
private var activePaymentIntent: PaymentIntent? = null
}

override fun onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy()
Log.d("TapToPay", "Destroyed Activity")
isRunning = false
}

#

what I firgured just now is that upon changing of orientation it recreates the Activity again. since i'm using a tab it automatically do the collection of payment in landscape but my application is on portrait

#

do you think this is a possible reason?

normal tusk Dec 18, 2025, 12:40 AM

#

Could you reproduce the same behavior on an Android phone device? If yes then it likely is it. When you mentioned orientation, I looked up Android docs [0] and it does say

*The system recreates an Activity when a configuration change occurs. To do this, the system calls onDestroy() and destroys the existing Activity instance. It then creates a new instance using onCreate(), and this new Activity instance is initialized with the new, updated configuration. This also means that the system also recreates the UI with the new configuration.

I recreated the issue on phone by rotating my phone while the collection of payment is happening. and it reappears, so it recreates the activity upon changing of orientation this is confirmed since I did side by side testing just now with the client. and we run the application on landscape and it didn't re appear.

#

but the problem is we locked the device into portrait now but the collection of payment is still turning in landscape

#

is there a way in stripe to lock the collection in portrait orientation in tablet?

#

when I say client they're testing it on Samsung Active Tab 5

      paymentIntentId, // your PaymentIntent ID from backend

              "TapToPayActivity : ${paymentIntentId} ${paymentIntent.status}"

```collectAndConfirm(paymentIntent) // continue with collect + confirm flow```

#

which Stripe SDK version are you currently on?

#

and what is the Android version on the Samsung Tab 5 device?

sage thicket Dec 18, 2025, 12:50 AM

#

implementation("com.stripe:stripeterminal-taptopay:4.3.1")
implementation("com.stripe:stripeterminal-core:4.3.1")

Androind Version 16

normal tusk Dec 18, 2025, 12:52 AM

It looks like we fixed the orientation issue on our SDK version 4.6.0: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-terminal-android/issues/537
