Well the admob hack works fairly well for now and it’s pretty easy to implement. Anyone has gotten suspended because of it? Not because of other reasons?
What is the reason why it should get suspended anyways? [import]uid: 8192 topic_id: 4063 reply_id: 27029[/import]
It seems the hack doesn’t work well with Android. That’s the reason why people are asking for a native support. [import]uid: 9097 topic_id: 4063 reply_id: 27052[/import]

Carlos my game is almost ready for release and Admob support for Corona Android is still not here! I’m not crazy about the current monetize option Ansca supports or the admob hack that is available. My game is going to be free so it needs to be able to display ads.
Also Openfeint for Android or some other social feature like Scoreloop would be nice ;0) [import]uid: 38820 topic_id: 4063 reply_id: 39305[/import]
I am in exactly same situation. My game is ready to release to Android. My game is not free, but i will make free version of it, so ads would be very nice. And biggest problem for me is Openfeint. Without Openfeint my game is very lame. Or are there any other ways to do online leaderboards for Android? [import]uid: 18445 topic_id: 4063 reply_id: 39309[/import]

My Android game is nearly done, and will be free…so Admob is really needed. I did use the Admob workaround, which seems to work on phones…but on my HoneyComb tablet it does not render, and actually causes that part of the screen to not react to “touch/tap” events.

Well looks like this admob thingie stuck on legal side? [import]uid: 41267 topic_id: 4063 reply_id: 39391[/import]
we waited 8 month for this feature.
You should sit down and wait, just like me, just like us. [import]uid: 9190 topic_id: 4063 reply_id: 39420[/import]
Not to sound like a complete dick. I just thought Ansca had plenty of time to come out with ad support. I guess I was wrong. That’s why I’m being like the squeaky wheel.
I’m pretty impatient and hate waiting. So I think I’ll try the admob hack and release my game sometime this week after I create some more levels.
When Ansca comes out with ad support I’ll just update my game with it and add some more levels too.
Then I’m off to writing my next game which I can’t wait to start.

Hey guys.
I updated the post here with some new code a little while ago:

And other comments in no particular order!

I’ve been using it for over 10 days and my account is fine. The webpopup is there to be used exactly like this, so there’s no reason for admob to suspend you

Currently admob aren’t serving ads to android 3+ over this interface, and this is why tablets don’t show ads. You should check in your code if the current version is > 3 and disable the webpopup:
Something like this:
ads = true
if system.getInfo( "platformName" ) == "Android" then
local AndroidVersion = string.sub (system.getInfo( "platformVersion" ), 1, 1)
if tonumber(AndroidVersion) \< 3 then
ads = false
end
end There is a way around it, so if you have a tablet centric app and desperately need to display ads then give me a shout on irc and I’ll help you out.

kam187,
Thank You !!!
That android verison > 3 is exactly what I needed…and had not figured out yet (i am new to all this).
You did peak my interest, as my app is tablet focused and ads were my main way to try and support it. Any help you could give me for a tablet would be so much appreciated.
I would like to have my ads work on version < 3 as well…so I am guessing your fix for > 3 could coexist with < 3.
Feel stupid asking, but how do I give you a shout on IRC?

Stop teasing us Carlos ;o)
I can’t wait for integrated ad support :o) [import]uid: 38820 topic_id: 4063 reply_id: 46152[/import]
Agree.
Because the native Admob app ads support Google Adsense.
It’s very important.
Currently, The Admob hack is useless.
The amount of webpage ads is too limited.
And the fill rate of inMobi looks very bad. [import]uid: 60193 topic_id: 4063 reply_id: 51343[/import]
