URL listener for webpopup on Android

I’m trying to get a working URL listener for native.webpopup to work on Android. For whatever reason the URL isn’t being passed back correctly into the (now famous) admob work-around.
Those needing a refresh, here is the admob code that is supposed to work as posted on the ludicroussoftware website;

local function showAd(event)
– Is the url a remote call?
if string.find(event.url, “http://”, 1, false) == 1 then
– Is it a call to the admob server?
if string.find(event.url, “c.admob.com”, 1, false) == nil then
adSpace.url = event.url
else
– an actual click on an ad, so open in Safari
system.openURL(event.url)
end
else
–system.openURL(event.url)
adSpace.url = event.url
end
end

adSpace = native.showWebPopup(0, 432, 320, 48, “ad.html”, {baseUrl = system.ResourceDirectory, urlRequest = showAd})

On Android, (with the new webpopup fix for game edition) the ad DOES show in the small webview but the problem is when a click is initiate to open the ad, it opens it in the SAME 48px high webpopup thus rendering the ad useless to see -

Does anyone got some insight as to what I can do to make either a new webpopup appear with the full page ad in it, or maybe using the directors class?

Thanks -

I’m am having the exact same problem and was just about to ask for help as well.

If anyone from Ansca has an answer, it would be a huge help. Being unable to use ads is a big deal, particular on Android.

I’ve thought about using native.showWebPopup instead of system.openURL(event.url) to open the ad once clicked on, but that would just leave the app buried behind a WebPopup that can’t be easily dismissed. Ideally, it should suspend the app and switch to the native browser, as happen on the iPhone. [import]uid: 1560 topic_id: 3632 reply_id: 11045[/import]

I tried a few things over the weekend but still no luck. Dotnaught, you?

No luck. I tried canceling the Web pop-up window before calling the URL but it still opened in a pop-up size window rather than the whole screen. [import]uid: 1560 topic_id: 3632 reply_id: 11119[/import]

Has anyone ever gotten around this? It’s a relevant as an issue as the webpopup not working itself.

Thanks!

Web popups now open to the right size in Android but the AdMob hack does not seem to work – the ads don’t load in the Web popup window. [import]uid: 1560 topic_id: 3632 reply_id: 15259[/import]
