Ads Interface Ad on the bottom

Dikkesnoek

Hi,

I've searched the forum and I found that: admob:setAlignment("center", "bottom") should place the Ad on the bottom on the screen. I can't get it work. My gamescreen is in Landscape mode and I'll use: admob:showAd("smart_banner"). Even modifying the AddsClass.mm will not solve it.

Any ideas? Thanks,

Marc

@Dikkesnoek iOS?

try calling setAlignment inside AD_RECEIVED or AD_DISPLAYED events

In iOS7 not displayed, I think he's off the screen. In iOS8 if you can visualize with the recommendation of @unlying

Dikkesnoek

Thanks, yes I started with iOS, later I will check Android. I saw an Ads helper class from ar2rsawseen (created in 2014) containing the event handlers. Do you still recommend to use this one?

@Dikkesnoek yes, it still necessary

@ar2rsawseen, Is it possible to add the AdManager.lua and conf.lua to the XCode project (assetst group) and compile it?

Do you probably have an extended example how to use the AdManager class?

Regards and thanks again,

Marc

ar2rsawseen

you simply add it to Gideros Studio project and when you export it, xcode project should contain it like any other Gideros exported lua files.

Or I misunderstand your purpose?

Dikkesnoek

Thanks ar2rsawseen,

I understand, but in that case you will need to follow the time consuming Google Admob installation procedure (CocoaPods, etc.) again. Normally you can modify Lua code in XCode (assets folder) and complile it in XCode to your device. If I add your AdManager to the XCode project, I will get errors.

Ah, I see what you mean

When exporting, tick export assets only, and it will only export Gideros project files without touching xcode project at all

Dikkesnoek

ar2, you're great, thanks,

I am just currious, what does ar2rsawseen mean?

In my case Dikkesnoek is a fat fish (Dikke = fat, Snoek
is the type of fish in Dutch language). There was a guy
during my study who called me Dikkesnoek. Even on
the PS4, my alias is Dikkesnoek. However, I am not
really that fat.

Aha, Arturs,

I tried to use your AdManager class. I can't get it work. Probably because
I only need Admob. I tried to remove some code. I am trying to get a
small_banner on the bottom of the (landscape) screen. This will also not
work because it will always be placed on the top:

-- Require plugin.
require "ads"

-- Initialize Google Admob.
local admob = Ads.new("admob")
admob:setKey("ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")

-- Show admob.
admob:showAd("smart_banner")

-- Set position.
admob:setAlignment("center", "bottom")

Thanks,

Marc

Try calling admob:setAlignment("center", "bottom") inside AD_RECEIVED event

Dikkesnoek

Thanks,

I've added this:

function onAdReceived(e)
admob:setAlignment("center", "bottom")
end

admob:addEventListener(Event.AD_RECEIVED, onAdReceived)

Now you will see briefly a banner on the top of the screen and
then the view will become white. Do I need to change something
in the Objective-C code?

Have a nice weekend,

Marc
