Does Love-Android-SDL2 Support In-App Purchases?

I would like to create a feature that uses in-app purchases, and would like to know if the Android SDL2 supports them. If so, how would I go about using them?

Anyone? If it doesn't, just say no. Thanks!

It doesn't. But you can hack it in using ffi I think.

I'm assuming you mean the LibFFI? And how would I go about hacking it in using FFI? I've barely touched Java, but I'm intermediate with Lua. I do know Python, if that helps.

LÖVE uses LuaJIT, which has an excellent ffi.
If you read into it you can bind C functions to Lua, so you might be able to add IAPs like that.

How would you suggest I start with it?

I suggest you follow the link I provided, read the documentation and do the tutorial.

Where would one find the C functions needed for IAPs?

Sorry if that's a dumb question, but I am completely unfamiliar with it. FFI makes sense to me, but I don't know what I need past that.

There are no C/C++ functions fo IAP, you need to use JNI to call the Java methods.

I felt a little bit of a bite from that. But it's fine. :P
I've never programmed with C, so I meant how would I start with C?
