Change Ad Network ??

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi,

Right now, I contact my Server to get a value that tells the app what AdNetwork to use
(keeps me flexible)

depending on that I call

ads.init( “inmobi”, “xxxxx” )
ads.show( “banner”, { x=0, y=430, interval=90, testMode=false } )

…
my problem (or bug) is now, how to REMOVE a previously inited network so i can assign a new one?

When I did once ads.init()
and call it a second time, it seems the second call just comes ignored, or do not overwrite the previous settings.

For example.

  1. ads.init( “inmobi”, “xxxxx” ); ads.show (“banner320x48”,{x=0,y=430})
    will show INMOBI ads as expected at position 430

  2. when I later call
    ads.init( “inneractive”, “xxxxx” ); ads.show (“banner”,{x=0,y=300})

it will still show InMobi Ads, just at a new Position (300)!!
HOW can change the AdNetwork while RunTime??

Thx

I’m setting up something similar and am wondering the same thing. Have you tried calling ads.hide() before init-ing the new network?

If that doesn’t work then +1 for a way to switch ad networks on the fly. [import]uid: 9422 topic_id: 21049 reply_id: 83187[/import]

tried right now…

did not helped…still loading the first assigned network by ads.init()
the x,y position change as set by ads.show() but not the network…

!!!

-1 -1 -1 :frowning:

any ideas / workaround are welcomed.

Ugh. Just tried it and it didn’t work for me either. Any tips for workarounds would be appreciated, but I suspect this is going to have to be another feature request. [import]uid: 9422 topic_id: 21049 reply_id: 83220[/import]

Also placed a +1 in Feature Request…
Please Ansca…. I saw your troubles with GameCenter (daily fixes)
therefore make a break in that for a day …
and give us the option to release a previously ads.init to create a new one :slight_smile:

Could anyone from Ansca confirm they are into that topic and we could get soon a solution?

Hi Chris, I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for, but just in cas it does, here’s a shared code posted by deniz:

Hope it helps.

HI Naomi,

thanks for the link.
Also It looks like you could change the Network itself while start from the app,
but not while already running. (you could change HouseAds while running)

I guess Ansca would have to fix so we can call Ads.init several times and it does overwrite
the previous settings.

all the best
