Dear Developers,

We just released a new version of RevMob Corona SDK.

In this release (1.2.2) we solved the NullPointerException bug when advertisements are unavailable.

New ads units are comming soon.

@guischv

Hi, we’ve just tested Revmob iOS 2.0.1 (the latest one). The revmob banner is supposed to work in the following way:

We have a photo app that allows users to share pictures taken with app.
The app has a “share” button. When a user presses on the share button, the “share panel” with facebook, twitter and email options pops up from the bottom of the screen.
We would like the revmob full screen banner to appear after the user presses on the “share” button and before the “share panel” pops up. We would like the banner appear every time the user presses the “share” button.

The problem with the 2.0.1 version of the SDK is that the banner appears only once – i.e., after the first tap on the “share” button, and it does not appear after all other taps on the “share” button, unless you uninstall the app, install it, and presses on the “share” button again (i.e., like for the first time).

Could you please take a look into this?

Thank you. [import]uid: 163311 topic_id: 25797 reply_id: 115018[/import]

Hey guys,

I’ve upgraded RevMob from 1. rc to the latest 1.2.2 and I can see some things I don’t like:

you still didn’t change ? into ? in polish jpeg
you wait with displaying the ad image till the response from server
you still didn’t add an option to specify listener to listen for the close button being pressed.

Especially the second thing is annoying, simply because users wait with no information about what’s going on. You could at least darken the screen or something… how it works currently makes no sense at all to me. What if the user has no internet connection. Are they going to wait till the end of times?

The third point - I show an ad when user selects game mode. So I want to wait before starting it until user presses the Close button. This is not a biggie, simple 3 line change so I handle it on my own.

For now I’ll just revert to the previous version I’ve used. [import]uid: 109453 topic_id: 25797 reply_id: 115035[/import]

I am trying to show fullscreen ad on application start & resume events. It works fine for applicationStart, but no ad shows up for applicationResume.

local function onSystem( event )  
 require 'revmob'  
 if event.type == "applicationStart" then  
 print("applicationStart")  
 RevMob.showFullscreen({ ["Android"] = revmobAndroidID, ["iPhone OS"] = revmobiOSID })  
 elseif event.type == "applicationResume" then  
 print("applicationResume")  
 RevMob.showFullscreen({ ["Android"] = revmobAndroidID, ["iPhone OS"] = revmobiOSID })  
 end  
end  
  
Runtime:addEventListener( "system", onSystem )

Here is the output on the terminal:

Hi @krystian6,

1 - We updated the images on all other sdk but forgot corona sdk. Sorry, we’ll update on next release.
2 and 3 - We need to wait the server response, but we agreed. Suggestions accepted and added to our backlog.

Thanks. [import]uid: 137117 topic_id: 25797 reply_id: 115059[/import]

krystian6 · July 11, 2012, 11:39pm

@ckausik

unfortunately when you show up the ad on application resume, the new version will register it’s own system event listener, which will remove the ad on application resume - just after you’ve created the ad. At least this is how I understand it.

I think revmob guys didn’t quite get the listener support I described before. I wanted to have the ability to remove the ad on my own, when the application is resumed [import]uid: 109453 topic_id: 25797 reply_id: 115093[/import]

ckausik · July 12, 2012, 8:27am

Thanks krystian6. So basically I have to go without showing the ad on applicationResume at this time. [import]uid: 19297 topic_id: 25797 reply_id: 115148[/import]

jinwchen · July 12, 2012, 12:26pm

@ubj3d.android,

I followed RevMob’s guideline to show the RevMob ads at game’s begin, resume, and every 3 games.

Dear developers,

@ckausik, @krystian6

In my first try i added the remove Fullscreen in app on suspend listener, but sometimes the Fullscreen is not removed, so i added it in app on resume listener. I can change it again to app on suspend listener what do you guys think ?

Thanks.

I noticed in earlier versions, full screen was not closing even when OK or x was tapped.

We just need a way to display the full screen ad when the user comes back. How do you suggest we do that with the current version? [import]uid: 19297 topic_id: 25797 reply_id: 115204[/import]

_RSCdev · July 12, 2012, 4:21pm

Strange, but for me all is working as expected.

When I multitask the app and it resumes the RevMob fullscreen just show up normally and even if when “leaving”/suspending the app if there was other Fullscreen Ads when it comes back to the app (open again), the latest Fullscreen that was there gets automatically removed and it shows automatically the new Fullscreen one (as it shows when the app resumes).

@guischv, be careful to not break what is working nice, huh?

PS: I`m using the exact same code as @guischv has posted some posts ago regarding the App suspending and starting as well.

EDIT: I`m using the RevMob version number 1.2.1 btw.

Um abraço.

Let’s discuss current release only

@guischv
I think the best way would be to allow US to decide when to remove the ad and when to leave it on.
This can be done by returning a reference to FullScreen.back function, and inside this function making sure that the reference is null when removing the ad [to make sure that storing reference to the function won’t break garbage collection of the ad].

ckausik · July 13, 2012, 8:02am

@guischv: do you guys have any plan to offer banner? May be a generic one with text like “Download a free game” or more targeted with app name? I have an app where I can put a banner nicely, but popup would be disruptive to the flow. [import]uid: 19297 topic_id: 25797 reply_id: 115361[/import]

guischv · July 13, 2012, 10:59am

Hi Developers,

We just released a new version of revmob sdk (1.3.0-rc).

In this release we added banner ad unit and fixed the Polish fullscreen image.

Scheduled in the next release are the some improvements proposed in this thread: network connection verification and onClose/onClick Fullscreen listener.

Thanks. [import]uid: 137117 topic_id: 25797 reply_id: 115410[/import]

vovasoft · July 13, 2012, 5:25pm

I’ve noticed that there is no more network.request, just lua socket in revmob_client.lua. Does it mean that now no more crashes when “204 No Content” status code is received ? [import]uid: 138389 topic_id: 25797 reply_id: 115469[/import]

paskuniak · July 16, 2012, 5:01am

Guess it’s time, since we’re now after the 15th of July -
Did someone actually get paid by revmob already?
Were there any problems with the payment?
Please share with us…

nick_sherman · July 16, 2012, 5:41am

I got paid on the 5th July so I guess that was 10 days early.

This was a fairly small payment though as I only implemented revmob at the end of May, so my first substantial payment will be due on 15th August. [import]uid: 93133 topic_id: 25797 reply_id: 115653[/import]
