Using AdMob in Final App

Mine is the same as yours and it works in android but it only fills adds 40% of the time :frowning:

Did you put this at the top of your HTML file?

Yes, I use the same DOCTYPE and lang rows too. It was cut off in my previous post from some reasons.

And does it work when you click/tap the ad? I mean does the full screen ad/popup appear?

What Corona SDK version do you use and what Android version do you build for? 1.6 , 2.0.x or 2.2 ?
What device do you have?

I tried to build it for 2.0.x/2.2 for Nexus One but it works just partially. The ad appears properly. But a blank black screen will appear if I click/tap the ad. [import]uid: 5411 topic_id: 879 reply_id: 12908[/import]

Hi

My device is HTC desire and the build version is 1.6. I just checked right now and when you tap on the app it loads the add full screen in the browser. The ads only fill about 40% though.

Im currently in the process of rebuilding the app to 2.2 because its a drum application and requires multi touch which doesnt appear to work in 1.6.

Maybe it doesn’t work across all handsets. You can check mine on android market its free called icandrum [import]uid: 11459 topic_id: 879 reply_id: 12913[/import]

Hi Maxbarrow,
I installed your icandrum app on my Nexus One and it does show ad squeezed in that small ad area instead in the full screen. So it works in the same way as my test code I mentioned above. Unfortunately it’s kinda useless in that way. [import]uid: 5411 topic_id: 879 reply_id: 12917[/import]

ah i see then it is not consistent across android devices then. Some work, some don’t. I guess we will have to hope they get integrated advertising sorted soon! Because as you say its pretty much useless now, even when it does work the fill rates are about 40% compared to 90-99% on my native apps [import]uid: 11459 topic_id: 879 reply_id: 12970[/import]

Hi Maxbarrow,
I tested your Icandrum application on other two devices (Droid Incredible and Droid 2) and the ad area stays grey on both devices.
So it looks like the AdMob really doesn’t work across all Android devices.
Which is unfortunate and we have to wait for SDK update that would fix it.

BTW: Have you seen any comment from Corona team when it might happen?

hiya

Nothing as yet from corona, just that its on the roadmap!

Also I would be careful about the webpopup hack as I have only used it on one application and Admob have disabled my account for “Invalid activity” whatever that means, so i cant login and all ads across all apps have been stopped.

Im not sure whether this is the issue but i will let you know, when (if!) i ever hear back from them. Mind you they owe me $4K so it seems a bit “convenient” just as they were about to pay to block the payment! [import]uid: 11459 topic_id: 879 reply_id: 13572[/import]

That in itself is enough said for me to stay 100 yards from hacking in without using the SDK. Wait for official support via the SDK by Corona or more than likely other accounts will be shutdown as well.

How do you do that? I can’t find documentation on how to enable internet for ios in build.settings [import]uid: 8192 topic_id: 879 reply_id: 14354[/import]

Just to let you know it wasn’t the app with the web hack in that caused the problem, I had placed an ad too close to a button. Anyway im going to stay clear of the web hack [import]uid: 11459 topic_id: 879 reply_id: 14436[/import]

I understand. Why wouldn’t you though?

Also do you know how to turn the internet on , on iOS? [import]uid: 8192 topic_id: 879 reply_id: 14445[/import]

Because they suspended all apps when only one caused the problem. If they decide the webhack is also “Invalid Activity” they might ban me again.

As for internet settings in IOS, I believe they are on as default and only android requires this setting. It will only work on the device, not in the simulator [import]uid: 11459 topic_id: 879 reply_id: 14485[/import]
