AdMob not working when testing on device

daleoshea · May 3, 2015, 9:50pm

Hi,

I am trying to add AdMob to my game as a banner at the bottom of the screen. I added the code and then tested it on a device. However the Ads do not show when I test it on my Android phone.

This is what I have included in the code for AdMob. Is there something I am missing ? also, Is it just necessary to add the code ? How do I set it up so that the revenue will be linked to my account in AdMob ? Is this done automatically or manually ?

Thank in advance for any help.

main.lua

local provider = "admob" &nbsp; local appID = "com.daleoshea.example" &nbsp; local ads = require "ads" &nbsp; &nbsp; ads.init( provider, appID ) ads.show("banner", {x=0, y=display.contentHeight})

build.settings

&nbsp;plugins = &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["CoronaProvider.ads.admob"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; },&nbsp;

That AppID is an Apple iAds style AppID. AdMob uses a really big number string like: ca-app-pub-53871639238388424/239548374838

There will be separate versions of those strings for Android Banners, Android Interestitials, Apple banners and Apple Interstitials. AdMob calls this an Ad Unit Id.
