Is there anyone who has successfully implemented AdMob?

@fish -- see a discussion from @akenaton on adding admob. It is in a two-page thread, here:

• https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/16686/how-to-add-admob/p1
• https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/16686/how-to-add-admob/p2

@jeremydouglass what's the android:value=" " in the manifest? where can I find this value?

jeremydouglass

You should definitely join that thread and/or talk to akenaton about that -- I've actually never used it myself.

akenaton

@fish=== i explained that in the thread given by @jeremydouglass

Thanks! @akenaton I was also wondering how to add a test device by ID, I've tried to add the line .addTestDevice("D******"); above the .build(); in the onCreate, but I get a type mismatch, com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest.Builder does not match with com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest.

@fish===

import android.os.Looper;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Window;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
import android.app.Activity;
import com.google.ads.*;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdSize;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.MobileAds;





void setup() {
  fullScreen();

}


void draw() {
  background(53);

}
  @ Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  Window window = getActivity().getWindow();
   RelativeLayout adsLayout = new RelativeLayout(this.getActivity());
   RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp2 = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
      RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);  

  AdView adView = new AdView(this.getActivity());

  adView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);
  adView.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-2_______________/7_________");
    adsLayout.addView(adView);
      AdRequest newAdReq = new AdRequest.Builder()

      .build();
      adView.loadAd(newAdReq);
      window.addContentView(adsLayout,lp2);



  }

@akenaton I have two problems, the first one is that, I get a banner that says"missing adactivity with android.configchanges in androidmanifest.xml" instead of the ads... and then secondly I wanted to add test ads by adding .addTestDevice("blahblah") line 40, but it didn't work :(

akenaton

@fish===

• your Manifest is missing the requested configchanges attributes; add this line:

   android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
          android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"
  

• why are you targetting only 15 ( i dont speak about the minSdk)???

-what says the error log when adding .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR) line 40???

fish

@akenaton Thanks, I have added the line that I missed and corrected the the target sdk(Thanks for pointing that out!)

For the .addTestDevice(" your device id"), I realised that I was getting the error because I did not quote the ID "". Now there's no error,

however when I test it, there is no ads that appear.. is that normal? do the ads only show if you get the app on the play store?

Use test Banner ID: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111
Interstitial ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712
Rewarded Video ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/5224354917

It works! Thanks!

fish

@akenaton but... the ads only show after the screen has been in sleep mode. They don't appear right away when you open the app

akenaton

@fish===

are you testing or working in (real) device mode?

and try to add code in onResume();

fish

yes it is on a real device
