applovin confusion

Getting Started Newbie Questions
1

Hi cleaver people of the internet ,

I want to put some banner ads on my amazing cool app

But i have a few questions regarding applovin 

I made my app out of 4 scenes via composer 

Now i followed the guidelines via https://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/applovin/index.html

Tried a bunch of stuff nothing works

For now ive put in the plugin in build settings 

and 

local applovin = require( “plugin.applovin” )  and applovin.init( adListener, { sdkKey=“key”} ) in main.lua

Applovin recognized my app and i have set the settings to banners

then I went in to one my scenes for example mainScreen.lua

local applovin = require( “plugin.applovin” )

  • create()

function scene:create( event )

    applovin.load( “banner” )

  • show()

function scene:show( event )

    applovin.show( “banner” )

but no ads :frowning:

Im not asking you to code everything for me But please can someone send me in the right direction

to make this work

Thank you

Do you have an adListener function in main.lua?  Can you post that?  Also you should put some print statements in that function to dump out any errors being returned by the plugin.

Dear rob,

I did some more digging and now have this in the main.lua
 

local function adListener( event )

    if ( event.phase == “init” ) then  – Successful initialization

        print( event.isError )

        applovin.load( “interstitial”  )

    elseif ( event.phase == “loaded” ) then  – The ad was successfully loaded

          print( event.type )

          applovin.show( “interstitial”)

    elseif ( event.phase == “failed” ) then  – The ad failed to load

          print( event.type )

          print( event.isError )

          print( event.response )

          

    end

end

– Initialize the AppLovin plugin

applovin.init( adListener, { sdkKey=“KEYHERE” } )

local isAdLoaded = applovin.isLoaded( “interstitial” )

if ( isAdLoaded == true ) then

    applovin.show( “interstitial” )

end

This works on doing a video ad but changing “interstitial”  to “banner”

Does not trigger a banner 

I have changed the setting on the applovin site to banner but it does not seem to work

Might it have to do with that i have to mail corona about my changes?

Thanks

UPDATE

So after mailing corona about my applovin changes It now works correctly
