Switch ad networks on the fly

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

So now we have a couple ad networks to choose from, which is great. I even have a way for my app to decide which ad network to use by checking a server variable so I can remotely switch ad networks on the fly. Unfortunately, once a network it started with init() it can’t currently be UNinit it to be able to switch to another ad network. The user would need to completely quit out and restart for the new ad network to take effect, and since the app doesn’t exit on suspend this wouldn’t happen very often.

+1 for ads we need to be able to switch at runtime (server side). And also when ad requests are not filled, queue up the next ad network. Lots of money is being left on the table [import]uid: 22829 topic_id: 21065 reply_id: 83244[/import]

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

Also as our apps already connect always to our Launchpad for Statistics

1.it would be most easy if Ansca offer us in our Launchpad for each app
kind a setting field we could enter a free value
(like abcdefg or 12345 etc)…
2. and we could request that from within our app and do our own things with it.

for example, in that free field myself enter “1*90” i could tell me app to use
Inmobi with 90 Secs refresh … or if i set there “2*45” i could request Inneractive with 45s refresh

We would have all options even if there are more AdNetwork will be implemented, as we decide what to do with the data we place in there.

For sure Ansca could also implement kind a AdWhirl… but that will come more complicated and to fulfill all developer ideas the option mentioned above, each developer could do what he like.
