Re: Offering PayPal for Bitcoin? You're likely to be labeled a scammer - Read why
Love it or hate it, PayPal is pretty damn convenient and this means it's not going anywhere for now.
Conversely, getting BTC is pretty inconvenient in comparison, and until this changes PP will continue to dominate the online payment industry.

Exactly. Plus bitcoin transactions can't be disputed. That's great if you're a merchant or a criminal, but if you are the poor slob who had your BTC stolen (or the merchant didn't deliver after you paid) you have no recourse.
At least a credit card company will help you get your money back if you get taken for a ride by a shady merchant.
The credit card companies and banks only help because they have a stake in it as well. One loses money to them on a regular basis for charges on this or that. So it's not really all that different from losing on a bad deal every now and then.
Bitcoin wallet is the sort of thing I'm looking for, though BDK might work too. Now to figure out how to tie all this into Flash. 
Essentially it'd be the same code, just different language... or even same language. AFAIK you'd have to still make a web request to your own (or a third party) bitcoind daemon or service, generate an address 'account' for the user and display it or hook their device app that hopefully supports bitcoin:// protocol, or pause the app and copy the address to clipboard for them to task switch over to wallet. There'd maybe be only one more step between your website third party and your own server to store in database the users unique device id and balance with account information so after a confirm you can have it available balance in credits or whatever.
Thanks for describing that approach. I'd like to use a dedicated API rather than my own creation to save time and avoid making mistakes that could cause people to send money to the wrong address or something.
There is always my PHP kit you can integrate with flash or w/e really.

The website is http://bitcoindevkit.com but the server is down right now.
Thanks Xenland, I think your kit may do what I need. Please let me know when your server gets back up.http://github.com/Xenland/Bitcoin-Development-Kit

No need to reinvent the wheel. Java has JSON-RPC libraries, and an Authenticator object can be used for authentication to the RPC server.
Copy/Pasted from the bitcoin wiki:
Code:
final String rpcuser ="...";
final String rpcpassword ="...";
Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication (rpcuser, rpcpassword.toCharArray());
}
});
final String rpcpassword ="...";
Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication (rpcuser, rpcpassword.toCharArray());
}
});
A quick google and: https://code.google.com/p/jsonrpc4j/
Are you directing that more towards me or Xenland?
I'm trying to find a way for users to easily send their bitcoins (preferably from within app) and a way for me to reliably know when bitcoins have been received and who to credit them to.Essentially it'd be the same code, just different language... or even same language.

Does the Android app need to be developed in a specific language or tool? Specifically, would it be alright if it were developed using Adobe AIR with Stage3D? The end result would still be an APK file like any other.
Does anyone know of a paid or free API that would allow me to accept Bitcoins as payment in a Flash game or iOS/Android app? The only ones I have been able to find are for websites.

So, are there any online services that can be set up fairly easily to send funds from Paypal, and then buy bitcoins?
Because you can't use PayPal to exchange currency, you cannot set it up with any exchange. The only place I know of which you can use PayPal is through VirWox.com -- there, you can buy Lindens, and then trade the Lindens for Bitcoin. It's a loop hole, but it works--to an extent. You can only trade 50 PPUSD at a time. All other exchanges require all your complete identity, IF you're dealing with USD. When trading between the altcoins, you may remain anonymous.
Thanks, work-arounds are what I'm looking for. I'm open to doing VirWox, but on the wiki it says in whole BTC values only and someone said the fees would be 25%. Is this still true? I cannot find such information on the Virwox site.
I only see:
Market Order Fee: USD/SLL 50 SLL 2.90%
Deposit Fee: a variable Paypal fee
Withdrawal Fee: A handling fee of 0.01 BTC per bitcoin withdrawal will be charged.
How legit would you say dealing with the sellers that have a positive rating on here(http://bcchanger.com/bitcoin-sell-orders) are?
Stating that there 7 billion people and only 11 million bitcoins in existance, an average person need just 0.001 btc to do well. So, don't hesitate to distribute it among your friends while the price is too low. One day they may thank you.
Interesting point, and as the population increases, the amount of BTC you'll need will be even smaller.
