InMobi hide

[dtm2000]

I implemented Inmobi correctly with banner and interstitial. I have a problem when i call inMobi.hide, after i can’t call another time the banner inMobi with inMobi.show.

If i close the sceneA with scene:destroy( event ) and then i load another time the sceneA the inMobi don’t display banner ads, why?

— In the main:

inMobi = require “plugin.inMobi”

accountID_inMobi = " … "

banner_inMobi = " … "

fullscreen_inMobi = " … "

local function adListener_inMobi(event)

   if ( event.phase == “init” ) then  

        – Load ad inMobi

        inMobi.load( “banner”, banner_inMobi, { autoRefresh = true, width = w_banner, height = h_banner } )

    elseif ( event.phase == “failed” ) then

        …

    end

   end

inMobi.init( adListener_inMobi, { accountId=accountID_inMobi } )

— sceneA

local function showInMobi()

   if ( inMobi.isLoaded( banner_inMobi ) ) then

      inMobi.show( banner_inMobi, { yAlign=“bottom” } )

    native.showAlert( “Load”, “Show InMobi” , { “OK”} )

   else

    native.showAlert( “inMobi”, "No-Load " , { “OK”} )

   end

end

— when close then scene 

inMobi.hide(banner_inMobi)

After the old banner is hidden, you must load a new banner before it can be shown.

I’ve already done this by rebooting inMobi.load, inMobil.init example :

— sceneA test1

local function showInMobi()

   if ( inMobi.isLoaded( banner_inMobi ) ) then

     native.showAlert( “Load”, “Show InMobi” , { “OK”} )

     inMobi.show( banner_inMobi, { yAlign=“bottom” } )

   else

    native.showAlert( “No-Load”, “reLoad” , { “OK”} )

    inMobi.load( “banner”, banner_inMobi, { autoRefresh = true, width = w_banner, height = h_banner } )

    inMobi.show( banner_inMobi, { yAlign=“bottom” } )

  end

end --showInMobi()

— sceneA test2

local function showInMobi()

   if ( inMobi.isLoaded( banner_inMobi ) ) then

     native.showAlert( “Load”, “Show InMobi” , { “OK”} ) 

     inMobi.show( banner_inMobi, { yAlign=“bottom” } )

   else

      native.showAlert( “No-Load”, “reLoad” , { “OK”} )

      inMobi.load( “banner”, banner_inMobi, { autoRefresh = true, width = w_banner, height = h_banner } 

      inMobi.show( banner_inMobi, { yAlign=“bottom” } )

  end

end --showInMobi()

[dtm2000]

— sceneA test2 

— show inMobi after 1,5 sec

local function reLoad()

   inMobi.show( banner_inMobi, { yAlign=“bottom” } )

end 

local function showInMobi()

   if ( inMobi.isLoaded( banner_inMobi ) ) then

     native.showAlert( “Load”, “Show InMobi” , { “OK”} ) 

 

     inMobi.show( banner_inMobi, { yAlign=“bottom” } )

 

   else

      native.showAlert( “No-Load”, “reLoad” , { “OK”} )

 

      inMobi.load( “banner”, banner_inMobi, { autoRefresh = true, width = w_banner, height = h_banner } 

 

      timer.performWithDelay( 1500, reLoad, 1 )

  end

end

I tried invoking inMobi.init every time the sceneA was called up, but once I missed it inMobi.init I did not come back to call.

— sceneA test3

local inMobi = require “plugin.inMobi”

local accountID_inMobi = " … "

local banner_inMobi = " … "

local w_banner = 320

local h_banner = 50

local function adListener_inMobi(event)

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

        – load ad inMobi

        inMobi.load( “banner”, banner_inMobi, { autoRefresh = true, width = w_banner, height = h_banner } )

        native.showAlert( “Init”, “Initialize InMobi” , { “OK”} )

    elseif ( event.phase == “loaded”) then

     inMobi.show( banner_inMobi, { yAlign=“bottom” } )

     native.showAlert( “Show”, “Show InMobi” , { “OK”} )

    elseif ( event.phase == “failed” ) then

       local msg = event.type … " - " … event.isError … " - " … event.response

        native.showAlert( “InMobi Error”, msg, { “OK” } )

    end

end

inMobi.init( adListener_inMobi, { accountId=accountID_inMobi } )

You cannot call inmobi.show() directly after inmobi.load() as it takes time for the ad to load. How much time depends on many factors. Timers are not a reliable way to do this. The only reliable way is to wait for the “loaded” event phase in your event listener before calling inmobi.show().

[ingemar_cl]

Your third example will not work since inmobi.init() can only be called once within the lifetime of the app, which should be done in main.lua.

[ingemar_cl]

Also, keep in mind that showing banners during gameplay may affect your game’s framerate in a negative way. If your app has many animations you might see sluggish performance while banners are being shown. ymmv.

Thanks for your precious support, now it works!
