How to get inMobi Test Banner ads?

[fazilreyaz]

Hello everyone,

Firstly I would like to know is adMob a paid plugin? And what if I have to use banner and interstitial ads only? Do I still have to purchase the plugin?

Actually my question is I integrated inMobi ad network in one of my games. I get interstitial test ads from inmobi for testing purpose, but when I try to fetch banner test ads it never shows anything.

Here is my code

inMobiAds.lua

local inMobi = require( "plugin.inMobi" )  local accID = "MY Account ID" local placementBannerID = "my banner id" local placementInterstitialID = "my interstitial id"   local function adBannerListener( event )       if ( event.phase == "init" ) then                    inMobi.load( "banner", placementBannerID )           elseif ( event.phase == "failed" ) then         print( "Ad Failed" )         end end   local function adInterstitialListener( event )       if ( event.phase == "init" ) then              inMobi.load( "interstitial", placementInterstitialID )     elseif ( event.phase == "failed" ) then         print("Ad Failed" )          end end   function adsInitialize()            inMobi.init( adInterstitialListener, { accountId=accID } )     inMobi.init( adBannerListener, { accountId=accID } ) end function showInterstitialAds()                          inMobi.show( placementInterstitialID, { yAlign="top" } )        end function showBannerAds()     inMobi.show( placementBannerID, { yAlign="top" } )   end

main.lua

require "inMobiAds" function myMain()     adsInitialize()     showBannerAds() end myMain()

So if I call showInterstitialAds function it works fine and it also display the test ads. But with showBannerAds function it never shows anything. Even it’s being initialized properly but still I don’t get the test ads.

I have attached screenshot of my app in inmobi account.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

The reason you’re having trouble is because you try to initialize the plugin twice. inmobi.init() can only be called once.

The same listener is used for all ad types.

Once you receive the “init” event you can load both a banner and an interstitial ad.

Also, to answer your other question: the AdMob plugin is a paid plugin only, regardless of ad types used.

Going forward, it’s recommended that you have a look at the device log when things don’t seem to work, as the plugin will log important information there when it cannot proceed with an API call. Most of the time looking at the device log will provide enough information to solve issues like this.

Thanks for the reply.

I will try to implement what you said. And I will fetch the log file to check the necessary information.
