Problem displaying Inneractive ads

Games
#1

Ok, I’m having a bit of trouble. I’ve followed the "Ads (inneractive)multiple times and still can’t get any ads to display when I build for the device (android). Especially "banner or "text (I get a white screen with “fullscreen”).
I’ve tried dozens of combinations, and have followed the tutorial precisely and have looked at the Ansca Inneractive example. Am I missing something obvious?

I’ve been putting local ads = require “ads” in my Main.lua and the rest of the required code for displaying ads in other scenes.

[code]
module(…, package.seeall)

function new()

local localGroup = display.newGroup()

–Images
local background = display.newImage(“menuBackground.png”)
background.xScale =.5
background.yScale = .5
background:setReferencePoint(display.TopLeftReferencePoint)
localGroup:insert(background)

local choseDiffBtn = display.newImage(“present_big.png”)
choseDiffBtn.x = display.contentWidth*0.5 - 100
choseDiffBtn.y = display.contentHeight*0.5
choseDiffBtn.xScale = .37
choseDiffBtn.yScale = .37
localGroup:insert(choseDiffBtn)

– Example for inneractive:
ads.init( “inneractive”, “IA_GameTest” )

– iPhone, iPod touch, iPad
ads.show( “banner”, { x=100, y=100, interval=10 } )

local goDifficulty = function ( event )
if event.phase == “began” then
director:changeScene( “difficulty”, “moveFromRight”)
end
end
choseDiffBtn:addEventListener( “touch” , goDifficulty)

return localGroup

Hey there,

ads.init() should only be called once, so I’d suggest calling it in main.lua after require “ads”.

I just tested on an Android device running 2.2, the banners showed fine after about 6 seconds from launch.

When testing this you have got internet access turned on, yes? (I only ask as I’ve forgotten mine was off previously.)

Thanks you peach pellen for the fast reply. I did as you suggested and placed the ads.init() in the main.lua, but I still have the same results.

Also I didn’t place my app id in the code for security reasons. Sorry for not mentioning I did so:)

Does anything appear wrong with my main.lua?

[code]
local priorNewText = display.newText
display.newText = function( text, xPos, yPos, font, size )
local actualText = text or “”
local actualFont = font or “Helvetica”
local actualSize = size or 16

local xScale, yScale = display.contentScaleX, display.contentScaleY
local sizeMultiply = 1

if xScale < 1.0 or yScale < 1.0 then
sizeMultiply = 2
end

local t = priorNewText( actualText, 0, 0, actualFont, actualSize * sizeMultiply )
t:setReferencePoint( display.TopLeftReferencePoint )

t.xScale, t.yScale = xScale, yScale
t.x, t.y = xPos, yPos or 0, 0

return t
end

_w = display.contentWidth;
_H = display.contentHeight;
local director = require(“director”);
local ui = require(“ui”);
local ads = require “ads”

– Example for inneractive:
ads.init( “inneractive”, “DigitalArtAssets_SantasToyDrop_Android” )

local mainGroup = display.newGroup();

local function main()

mainGroup:insert(director.directorView)

director:changeScene(“menu”);

return true;
end

main() [import]uid: 66329 topic_id: 19613 reply_id: 75762[/import]

FORGET ABOUT IT!

Looks like you have not created the necessary AppID into Inneractive to get it working.

[lua]ads.init( “inneractive”, “xxxAppIDxxx”
http://developer.anscamobile.com/reference/ads-inneractive --> at the bottom of this link there is a small image showing you how to get your AppID for Inneractive.
Hope it help!

Had a skim and none of this should make a difference.

When you look at the app settings in the inneractive dashboard, what ads do you have set to show? Did you select “Test”? (I have had it work with non-test but I believe that should be 100% fill rate.)

Can you let me know?

Hey Digital Art Assets, my name is Hillel and I am Head of Marketing at inneractive. Just a few questions so we can get to the bottom of this… It seems like a display issue…Did the sample application work on the same device? Can you try and change the connection (using Wifi) and re-try? Also can you try to remove and re-install the application? You can email me at hillel at inner-active.com or reply here and will will figure it out. Thanks. [import]uid: 113575 topic_id: 19613 reply_id: 76351[/import]
