Trigger bank transfer payments - available since NombaX Application v1.6.2

This following code snippet serves as a foundation for triggering bank transfer payment events on the Nomba terminal. Adjustments to the amount, transaction reference, and other parameters can be easily made based on specific application requirements.

const val PAY_BY_TRANSFER_INTENT = "com.nomba.pro.feature.pay_by_transfer.ACTION_VIEW"
const val AMOUNT_DATA = "amount"
const val TXN_RESULT = "txnResultData"
const val RECEIPT_OPTIONS = "receiptOptions"

val resultString = mutableStateOf("")

//setup a launcher that would help launch the intent
var payByTransferLauncher =
registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult()) { result ->
    val data: Intent? = result.data
    if (result.resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
        resultString.value = data?.getStringExtra(TXN_RESULT) ?: "null"
    }
}

//setup an intent to be triggered
val intent = Intent(PAY_BY_TRANSFER_INTENT)

//put the amount to be charged
intent.putExtra(AMOUNT_DATA, "300")

//handle receipt medium
val receiptOptionsMap = hashMapOf(
    "print" to true,
    "sms" to false,
    "email" to false
)
val receiptOptionsString = Json.encodeToString(serializer<HashMap<String, Boolean>>(), receiptOptionsMap)
intent.putExtra(RECEIPT_OPTIONS, receiptOptionsString)

//launch the intent
payByTransferLauncher.launch(intent)
