Localization error message from SDK

[khanhnt3010]

I'm using datatrans SDK for android, we have a lof of error codes right now, I have 2 problems with the error code:

• Difficult for mapping errorCode and Message. Example:we have a lot message for 1403 errors code, so I cannot mapping error code
• Why don't we localize the message like the iOS SDK?

@dmengelt What do you think about this?

@khanhnt3010 sorry for the late answer. You are right. Only iOS has this feature. We are currently working an a complete new SDK (iOS and Android) which will align the error message handling between the two platforms. Also, we will release a new version of the current Android SDK in order to improve the situation. I mentioned this already here:

https://github.com/datatrans/android-sample-app/issues/10#issuecomment-795338409

For now, my suggestion is that you only have a specific mapping for the following errors:

INVALID CARD            1400
EXPIRED CARD            1402
CARD BLOCKED            1404
SOFT DECLINED           1407

For all other you have to display a generic error message.
