Admob Installation

[Mark7294305]

Hello Support
I am trying to install admob on my app. The followed Illya Stepanov 7 steps instructions on the post https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/... However when I build the apk file I receive the following failure

Build error

Most likely build error cause:

Hello Mark,

It is better to use cordova plugins for that. e.g.:
https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cor...
https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cor...

Please delete edited (blue colored) files on Source tab and click Undo all source changes on folder with edited files.

And install any admob plugin to your application: https://devcenter.appery.io/documenta...

[Mark7294305]

Hello Support
Thank you for your reply. I have undone the changes and imported the plugin as you instructed. Also I added the following to my Javascript file.

var admobid = {};

//alert(navigator.userAgent);

// select the right Ad Id according to platform
if( /(android)/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) {
admobid = { // for Android
banner: 'ca-app-pub-xxx',
interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-6869992474017983/1657046752'
};
alert ("andriod");
} else if(/(ipod|iphone|ipad)/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
admobid = { // for iOS
banner: 'ca-app-pub-xxx',
interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-6869992474017983/7563979554'
};
alert ("ios");
} else {
admobid = { // for Windows Phone
banner: 'ca-app-pub-xxx',
interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-6869992474017983/1355127956'
};
alert ("WP");
}

window.admob.createBannerView(
{
'publisherId': 'xxx',
'adSize': admob.AD_SIZE.BANNER
},
successCallback,
failureCallback
);

window.admob.requestAd(
{
'isTesting': false,
'extras': {
'color_bg': 'AAAAFF',
'color_bg_top': 'FFFFFF',
'color_border': 'FFFFFF',
'color_link': '000080',
'color_text': '808080',
'color_url': '008000'
},
},
successCallback,
failureCallback
);

function initApp() {
if (AdMob) {
AdMob.createBanner({
adId : admobid.banner,
position : AdMob.AD_POSITION.BOTTOM_CENTER,
autoShow : true
});
}
}

var successCreateBannerView = function() { alert("addBanner Success");

window.admob.requestAd({'isTesting': true},success,error); };

var success = function() { alert("requestAd Success"); };

var error = function(message) { alert("Oopsie! " + message); };

var options = {
'publisherId': 'xxx',
'adSize': 'BANNER'
};
function initApp() {
window.admob.createBannerView(options,successCreateBannerView,error);

}

document.addEventListener('deviceready', initApp, false);

Then on device I have the following javascript

function initApp()

I exported the apk file onto a real device but no ads are displayed. How can I fix this?

Mark

[Mark7294305]

Update:
I have through the docs and it says that I only need to add the following code to your project to activate the ads

var admobid = {};
if( /(android)/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) {
admobid = { // for Android
banner: 'ca-app-pub-6869992474017983/9375997553',
interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-6869992474017983/1657046752'
};
} else if(/(ipod|iphone|ipad)/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
admobid = { // for iOS
banner: 'ca-app-pub-6869992474017983/4806197152',
interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-6869992474017983/7563979554'
};
} else {
admobid = { // for Windows Phone
banner: 'ca-app-pub-6869992474017983/8878394753',
interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-6869992474017983/1355127956'
};
}

if(( /(ipad|iphone|ipod|android|windows phone)/i.test(navigator.userAgent) )) {
document.addEventListener('deviceready', initApp, false);
} else {
initApp();
}

function initApp() {
if(AdMob) AdMob.createBanner( {
adId: admobid.banner,
position: AdMob.AD_POSITION.TOP_CENTER,
autoShow: true } );
}

I added the above code to my javascript file and exported to a device however no ads are displayed. When I run the appery web test I see the following error

Uncaught ReferenceError: AdMob is not defined

which is referring to the line "if(AdMob) AdMob.createBanner( {"

It seems that javascript cannot execute the imported pluggin

can you help?

Mark

[Serhii Kulibaba]

Could you add JS file with AdMob object as a custom JS (Create new-JavaScript)

[Mark7294305]

Ok I figured it out. To help those who wish to add admob to their app without exporting to eclipse etc, here are the steps to follow:~

1. import the plugin from github https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cor... to appery as explained here https://devcenter.appery.io/documenta...

2.Create new-JavaScript (or open your existing one)

3. add the following code to the file

// place our admob ad unit id here
var admobid = {};
if( /(android)/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) {
admobid = { // for Android
banner: 'ca-app-pub-6869992474017983/9375997553',
interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-6869992474017983/1657046752'
};
} else if(/(ipod|iphone|ipad)/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
admobid = { // for iOS
banner: 'ca-app-pub-6869992474017983/4806197152',
interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-6869992474017983/7563979554'
};
} else {
admobid = { // for Windows Phone
banner: 'ca-app-pub-6869992474017983/8878394753',
interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-6869992474017983/1355127956'
};
}

function onDeviceReady() {
if (! AdMob) { alert( 'admob plugin not ready' ); return; }

initAd();

// display a banner at startup
createSelectedBanner();
}

function initAd(){
AdMob.setOptions({
// adSize: 'SMART_BANNER',
// width: integer, // valid when set adSize 'CUSTOM'
// height: integer, // valid when set adSize 'CUSTOM'
position: AdMob.AD_POSITION.BOTTOM_CENTER,

// offsetTopBar: false, // avoid overlapped by status bar, for iOS7+
bgColor: 'black', // color name, or '#RRGGBB'
// x: integer, // valid when set position to 0 / POS_XY
// y: integer, // valid when set position to 0 / POS_XY
isTesting: true, // set to true, to receiving test ad for testing purpose
// autoShow: true // auto show interstitial ad when loaded, set to false if prepare/show
});

// new events, with variable to differentiate: adNetwork, adType, adEvent
$(document).on('onAdFailLoad', function(data){
alert('error: ' + data.error +
', reason: ' + data.reason +
', adNetwork:' + data.adNetwork +
', adType:' + data.adType +
', adEvent:' + data.adEvent); // adType: 'banner', 'interstitial', etc.
});
$(document).on('onAdLoaded', function(data){});
$(document).on('onAdPresent', function(data){});
$(document).on('onAdLeaveApp', function(data){});
$(document).on('onAdDismiss', function(data){});

function createSelectedBanner(){
AdMob.createBanner({
adId: admobid.banner,
overlap: $('#overlap').is(':checked'),
offsetTopBar: $('#offsetTopBar').is(':checked'),
adSize: $('#adSize').val(),
position: $('#adPosition').val(),
});
}

function showBannerAtPosition(){
AdMob.showBanner( $('#adPosition').val() );
}

$('#btn_create').click(createSelectedBanner);
$('#btn_remove').click(function(){
AdMob.removeBanner();
});

$('#btn_show').click(showBannerAtPosition);
$('#btn_hide').click(function(){
AdMob.hideBanner();
});

// create a banner on startup
createSelectedBanner();

// test interstitial ad
$('#btn_prepare').click(function(){
AdMob.prepareInterstitial({
adId:admobid.interstitial,
autoShow: $('#autoshow').is(':checked'),
});
});

$('#btn_showfull').click(function(){
AdMob.showInterstitial();
});

// test case for #256, https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cor...
$(document).on('backbutton', function(){
if(window.confirm('Are you sure to quit?')) navigator.app.exitApp();
});

// test case #283, https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cor...
$(document).on('resume', function(){
AdMob.showInterstitial();
});
}

// test the webview resized properly
$(window).resize(function(){
$('#textinfo').html('web view: ' + $(window).width() + " x " + $(window).height());
});

$(document).ready(function(){
// on mobile device, we must wait the 'deviceready' event fired by cordova
if(/(ipad|iphone|ipod|android|windows phone)/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
document.addEventListener('deviceready', onDeviceReady, false);
} else {
onDeviceReady();
}
});

4.Export project to a real device and your should see the test ads displayed

5. You can then change the banner ID to your own and tweak any other settings

Mark

Thanks for sharing

[Miguel Angel Dulcey Diaz]

Hi,

How do I invoke the plugin?

Sorry for the newbie

MIGUEL

[Mark7294305]

on your home page create an event on device ready to run a script and add the following code

window.admob.createBannerView (
{
'PublisherID': 'ca-app-pub-*****',
'AdSize': admob.AD_SIZE.BANNER
},
successCallback,
failureCallback
);

admob.requestAd(
{
'isTesting': false,
'extras': {
'color_bg': 'AAAAFF',
'color_bg_top': 'FFFFFF',
'color_border': 'FFFFFF',
'color_link': '000080',
'color_text': '808080',
'color_url': '008000'
},
},
successCallback,
failureCallback
);

Let me know if it works

[Miguel Angel Dulcey Diaz]

Mark, Thanks for your answer.

I can not make it work.

Blocking the application. It stays charged.
