Appnext error when loading ads

Solar2D Monetization (in-app purchases, ads, etc.)

I am facing issues implementing appnext into my app…

getting those error messages when loading appnext ads while testing on actual device:

**

I/Corona  ( 7371): Received adError for 14061fdc-5079-40b3-9f1f-bbb1caab9931_rewarded with message: Response error {“rnd”: [{“cb”:“3”}]}

I/Corona  ( 7371): Received adError for 8ae4a61d-29fe-4617-865a-a9441832aed6_fullscreen with message: Error loading video

**

I’ll paste the relevant code down here hope you could help me fix this issue…

build.settings:

android = { googlePlayGamesAppId = "\*\*", usesPermissions = {             "android.permission.INTERNET",             "android.permission.ACCESS\_NETWORK\_STATE",             "android.permission.ACCESS\_WIFI\_STATE",             "com.android.vending.CHECK\_LICENSE", }, },     plugins =   {     ["CoronaProvider.gameNetwork.google"] =    {      publisherId = "com.coronalabs",    },         ["plugin.google.play.services"] =         {           publisherId = "com.coronalabs",           supportedPlatforms = { android=true }         },         ["plugin.appnext"] =         {             publisherId = "com.appnext",             supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true }         },     },

main.lua:

local appnext = require( "plugin.appnext" ); local function adListener( event )     print( "Received " .. event.event .. " for " .. event.adKey .. " with message: " .. event.message ); end -- Initialize the Appnext plugin appnext.init( adListener ); -- Create your ads local interstitialPlacementID local fullscreenPlacementID local rewardedPlacementID local platform = system.getInfo( "platformName" ) if ( platform == "iPhone OS" ) then     interstitialPlacementID = "YOUR\_IOS\_INTERSTITIAL\_PLACEMENT\_ID"     fullscreenPlacementID = "YOUR\_IOS\_FULLSCREEN\_PLACEMENT\_ID"     rewardedPlacementID = "YOUR\_IOS\_REWARDED\_PLACEMENT\_ID" elseif ( platform == "Android" ) then     interstitialPlacementID = "5a97df9c-6a50-45a3-91da-caab9d475e67"     fullscreenPlacementID = "8ae4a61d-29fe-4617-865a-a9441832aed6"     rewardedPlacementID = "14061fdc-5079-40b3-9f1f-bbb1caab9931" end local interstitialConfig = {     SkipText = "Close Ad",     CreativeType = "video" } local videoConfig = {     ShowClose = true,     CloseDelay = 5.5 } local interstitialAdKey = appnext.createAd( "interstitial", interstitialPlacementID, interstitialConfig ) local fullscreenAdKey = appnext.createAd( "fullscreen", fullscreenPlacementID, videoConfig ) local rewardedAdKey = appnext.createAd( "rewarded", rewardedPlacementID ) appnext.loadAd( fullscreenAdKey ) appnext.loadAd( rewardedAdKey ) if ( appnext.adIsLoaded( interstitialAdKey ) ) then     appnext.showAd( interstitialAdKey ) end

testing this on Xiaomi Redmi 3 note

I didnt load the interstitial ad before showing it… after changing that it gets me a “no ads” error only at the first time when trying to show, next time it restarts the app.

Are there more messages in your device’s console log?

You may want to run “adb logcat” with no extra command line parameters to get more messages. If you’re only filtering on Corona then you may be missing relevant messages from other activities.

I’ve been told that Corona Labs integration tool is currently not supported for Android SDK… thats why I’m having trouble displaying Appnext ads.

Thanks for replying,

Can you explain this further? Who said this? In what context is being said. 

As far as I know Appnext should work just fine.

Unfortunatly I deleted the conversation with one of Appnext support group…

I asked her why when I am trying to load Appnext ads it always send me “no ads” error messages. she told me that - “Corona Labs integration tool is currently not supported for Android SDK due to compatibility”. I picked another ad provider instead.

I’ve asked an engineer to look in to this.

Hello Rob,

Any news about this ?

I am currently testing appnext on my android terminal and get the exact same message when trying to show the ad:

“Received adError for someNumberID_interstitial with message: no ads”

Does it means that It actually worked but can’t display nothing as there is nothing to display ? :o

Yes, it worked, but there were no ads to show.

I can confirm that Appnext is NOT working with Corona on Android.

I just created a new App in the Appnext panel, used their example App (https://www.appnext.com/plugins/coronaTestApp.zip) and pasted my ad ids there.

This is the complete log:

I was told by Appnext that there are plenty of Ads for my region (Brazil, Sao Paulo) and on iOS it is actually working just fine.

I lost already quite some time trying to implement this plugin and/or waiting for an update, but it seems that Appnext (or Corona?) has no interest in resolving this problem :frowning:

Might this be related to the fact that this Ads plugin is free?

The Appnext plugin is developed by Appnext themselves. They are working on a new version of the plugin.

Yes, I know, since October of last year :confused:
