Okay so this is in kotlin for my android app

This method returns 0 as sources size

CustomerSession.getInstance()
    .retrieveCurrentCustomer(object : CustomerSession.CustomerRetrievalListener {
        override fun onCustomerRetrieved(customer: Customer) {
            Log.e("LOG", "got it: " + customer.email) //Proper email shows
            Log.e("LOG", "got it: " + customer.sources.size) //but size is 0
        }
        override fun onError(
            errorCode: Int,
            errorMessage: String,
            stripeError: StripeError?
        ) {
            Log.e("LOG", "failed")
        }
    })

#

This method gives me the right info

CustomerSession.getInstance().getPaymentMethods(PaymentMethod.Type.Card, object : CustomerSession.PaymentMethodsRetrievalListener {
    override fun onError(
        errorCode: Int,
        errorMessage: String,
        stripeError: StripeError?
    ) {
        Log.e("LOG", "ERROR" + errorMessage)
    }

    override fun onPaymentMethodsRetrieved(paymentMethods: List<PaymentMethod>) {
        Log.e("LOG", "got it: " + paymentMethods.size) // This returns 2!!!
    }
})

#

So I'm basically curious why customer.sources.size == 0 in one case, but in another call I get 2.

So the first one is the Source attached to the Customer. The second one is the PaymentMethod attached to the Customer

First one: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/object#customer_object-sources

Stripe API reference – The customer object

Second one: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/customer_list?lang=ruby

#

They are .. simple different things. Payment Method is a newer API and we recommend to use nowadays. Source is an older API an exists for legacy users

Interesting. Thank you!

#

@hoary plank so one last question. So if I wanted to add a new payment method, and delete a payment method... which apis would I use?

To delete would I use detachPaymentMethod?
How do I add a payment method/create a new credit card for my user?

#

You should use the new PaymentMethod API. Yes to delete you use Detach API. To add a new, simple create a new PaymentMethod and Attach to the Customer

#

Is there any helper to create PaymentMethod?

#

Or maybe. A better way to phrase the question is...

Creating a PaymentMethod object seems easy but it looks like the first argument is a id. How do I know what kind of id to set for a new PaymentMethod that I'm creating?

#

I'm basically building this screen myself, and was hoping you could point me in the right direction of creating this PaymentMethod and then I will just attach this to the customer (like you said).
