      there will be no caching, but rather option to preload any ad, without showing it, and only then show it when needed :)

      On Android:

      Tried adcolony again, crashes at the registration (init works).

      Tried chartboost again (as no ads visible), looks like every add results in Ad error - with no message.

      Anyone else having problems with these?

      Yes my chartboost on android only shows 3-4 ads a day. Then it never show any ads until the next day. Not sure what causes this. =(

      Redid the adcolony and it doesn't crash now - but fails on ads. Contacted ar2rawseen and looks like he is aware of the problem. :)

      I'm using Gideros 2014.01 and Ads Interface 1.2 and was able to get iAd to display in the iOS Simulator and on an iPad 4.

      When testing on an iPad 1 and iPod Touch (4th Generation) I just received a black screen and the following error in Xcode:

      "Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x44)"

      I've tested the Gideros iAd plugin with the iPad 1 and iPod Touch (4th Generation) and it works fine.

      Has anyone successfully had iAd display on older iOS devices using Ads Interface?

      Thanks!

      Thanks @amaximov! I have two iPod Touch 4th generation devices and both had iOS 5.1.1. I updated one iPod Touch to iOS 6 and iAd worked fine.

      Apps on the iPad 1 and iPod Touch with iOS 5.1 still crash when using the Ad Interface iAd plugin.

      Thanks again for the help. That solved the mystery.

      Hello,

      I'm trying to implement Ad interface in my Android game. The game uses the Scene Manager class and I want to show the banners at the game scene, so I used the code below inside the init function.

      Questions & problems:
      - The ad it's shown only once (BAD) during the application lifetime and after starting the game scene (GOOD) and not in the menus (GOOD), but if I change to the menu scene during the ad it dosen't hide (BAD).
      - Now the ad is not appearing any more (BAD)
      - Should I use the code below in an other part of the program?
      - Why the ads are appearing only once?

      I would be very grateful if you help me because I've tried lots of things an many ad companys with the same result...

      --
      require "box2d"
      require "ads"

      scene = gideros.class(Sprite)

      function scene:init()
      [...]
      --initialize amazon
      amazon = Ads.new("amazon")
      amazon:setKey("XX")

      --initialize admob
      admob = Ads.new("admob")
      admob:setKey("YY")

      --if amazon fails
      --show admob
      amazon:addEventListener(Event.AD_FAILED, function(e)
      print("amazon AD_FAILED", e.error)
      admob:showAd("auto")
      end)

      --if admob fails
      --show amazon
      admob:addEventListener(Event.AD_FAILED, function(e)
      print("admob AD_FAILED", e.error)
      amazon:showAd("auto")
      end)

      --start displaying amazon ads
      amazon:showAd("auto")
      [...]
      end

      @synchrotrongames I'm currently working on a new version of AdsInterface (Android will be released real soon)

      But what I would suggest is to create the instances of ads in the main lua, and then only use global variables to show/hide ads on specific scenes.

      And I don't hide calls anywhere in your code, as in
      amazon:hideAd("auto"), etc

      @ar2rsawseen Will admob in Ads Interface work with Google Play Services plugin?

    • ar2rsawseenar2rsawseen Maintainer
      Yes it is working now already
      AdsAdmob.java is for goolgle play version
      AdsAdmob_OldJar.java is for old jar vesion and you should rename it to AdsAdmob.java before using ;)

      With heyzap I get a crash:

      heyzap:showAd("v4vc")

      results in:

      heyzap AD_RECEIVED nil
      heyzap AD_RECEIVED nil
      heyzap AD_RECEIVED nil

      Then the advert shows and after the ad you can't click the X, then it crashes.

      (it worked ok before)

      Yes, firstly there was an auto fetching enabled, that could potentially cause showing multiple ads
      and heyzap sdk is designed to handle only single active ad.
      And secondly, there was a problem with closing ad multiple times, fixed now and uploaded to the labs

      What I still don't get, why you have nil for e.type?

      I tested it and heyzap now plays vids great..... on a normal android tablet - but on a kindle it always says no video available. I've registered a new 'kindle' app on heyzap and still the same problem. Is there something in the heyzap lib - like a flag - that says its a kindle app? According to this they support both:

      You printed that you get

      heyzap AD_RECEIVED nil

      I assumed the third param was e.type

      About amazon, I already set the flag:
      if(android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER.equals("Amazon"))
{
	HeyzapAds.start(sActivity.get(), HeyzapAds.DISABLE_AUTOMATIC_FETCH|HeyzapAds.AMAZON);
}
else
{
	HeyzapAds.start(sActivity.get(), HeyzapAds.DISABLE_AUTOMATIC_FETCH);
}
      I don't own a Kindle device, so all I had was this table:
      https://developer.amazon.com/appsandservices/solutions/devices/kindle-fire/specifications/01-device-and-feature-specifications#Device Specifications

      Which said to return Amazon value

      Can you check in logcat what does your device return from android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER?

      like put this somewhere inside onCreate method
      Log.d("Detecting", android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER);

      It should be automatic - maybe the flag confuses things?

      https://developers.heyzap.com/docs/android_sdk_amazonads

      Edit:
      I made it so it was just 'HeyzapAds.start(sActivity.get(), HeyzapAds.DISABLE_AUTOMATIC_FETCH);' but still no luck. :(

      ah, I see
      maybe they dont have enough fill for amazon?
      can you enable test ads on Heyzap?

      test mode shows no video (if I've done it right - I put in my IP address) - but 'interstitial' shows an advert that belongs to the amazon store.

      maybe they have something broken re amazon video.

      I am trying to use Vungle videos ads

      Is it normal than I get always "vungle AD_FAILED No video available" in test mode.

      It seems there are no videos.

      I am using vungle via the ads lib - it works here (Android) no problem.

      May be it is a lack of videos today.

      Vungle app state is inactive but in test mode. I have read Vungle documentation, and it seems after it was initialized some period is needed to download ad. I will try later.

      Vungle is always returning 'false' for VunglePub.isVideoAvailable() in AdsVungle class and method loadAd

      In the main.lua:
      local android = application:getDeviceInfo() == "Android"
 
-- Setup Vungle
if (android) then
	require "ads"
 
	vungle = Ads.new("vungle")
	vungle:setKey("my app id") -- App ID field from app info (not reporting APP id)
 
	vungle:addEventListener(Event.AD_RECEIVED, function(e)
										print("vungle AD_RECEIVED")
									      end)
 
	vungle:addEventListener(Event.AD_FAILED, function(e)
									      print("vungle AD_FAILED", e.error)
									   end)
 
	vungle:addEventListener(Event.AD_DISMISSED, function(e)
									            print("vungle AD_DISMISSED")
										end)
end
      and later in some scene:
      vungle:showAd("video")
      I do not have yet a Google Play URL defined in Vungle dashboard. Am I missing anything?
