tap-to-pay timeout on the payment UI

[L-is-0]

Summary

There isn't a timeout for the tap-to-pay payment collection UI.

Code to reproduce

I am using Terminal.getInstance().collectPaymentMethod to show a contactless payment collection UI for my Android app, however, it doesn't seem to have a timeout for this screen even i put the device out there for more than 1 hour.

I tried to manually add a timeout and cancel the payment using the cancelable returned from Terminal.getInstance().collectPaymentMethod, and this was the error I got from the SDK not allowing me to cancel the payment from the code. "Cancellation of a Tap to Pay transaction can only happen from the activity"

I wondered is there any way we can close the payment collection screen or add a timeout for it properly?

Could you please kindly advise on this? @rv-stripe

This will be fixed in an upcoming release. I'll keep this ticket open until it is public.

👋 As of the 2.20.0 version that was just released, you can now call the cancellation method from the SDK and will not see the "Cancellation of a Tap to Pay transaction can only happen from the activity" error. Please feel free to use this to implement your own timeout if desired.
