Trying to test Ads plugin for Android

SimplesApps · May 2014

Hello @ar2rsawseen

I'm trying to build a project in Eclipse with Ads plugin for Admob.
I've followed the steps in the http://docs.giderosmobile.com/interface/ads but it's not working.

This is a mess.

Please, let me know what I have to do in order to resolve it.

I have the next different kind of errors:

Description Resource Path Location Type

Did your project build in eclipse before plugin?

Hello @SimplesApps
AdsAdmob.java is meant to be used with Google Play Service framework, which you need to add as a library to your project
http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html

But if you don't want to use Google Play Services but rather use the simple .jar version of admob, simply delete current AdsAdmob.java and rename AdsAdmob_OldJar.java to AdsAdmob.java and leave the admob jar in the libs folder and it should work.

But I should note that applications using old jar admob file will be accepted to Google Play market only till 1st of August, after that Google Play Service usage is mandatory for Google Play market, for other markets you can continue using jar file version

@eezing Yes.

@ar2rsawseen Ok, but you know Google here did us a dependency...

Please help!!!

After installing last SDK, ADT plugin, reference the Google Play Services library to the project, etc., etc. now I have "only" 4 errors:

error: Error: String types not allowed (at 'configChanges' with value 'keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize'). AndroidManifest.xml

error: Error: String types not allowed (at 'configChanges' with value 'keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize'). AndroidManifest.xml

error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'xlargeScreens' in package 'android' AndroidManifest.xml

The container 'Android Dependencies' references non existing library '/Users/MyUser/apps/google-play-services_lib/bin/google-play-services_lib.jar'

Btw, I don't find now the main activity in the project...
Also after the SDK update the "sensorLandscape" config value now is not possible...

Please, let me know.

Thanks!

SimplesApps · May 2014

@ar2rsawseen Do you know how to fix the errors I posted above?

Btw, I fixed the error related to 'xlargeScreens' deleting it.

But the last one persist.

What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

@SimplesApps it seems that you set your target Android version too low, you always need to target highest Android version in AndroidManifest, like this:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

SimplesApps · May 2014

@ar2rsawseen No, the AndroidManifest contains just these minSdk an targetSdk.

Also now (after updating the ADT and SDK) it not possible to put "sensorLandscape" for screenOrientation.

This is the AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

SimplesApps · May 2014

Sorry, I attach the AndroidManifest.xml in a txt file...

ar2rsawseen · May 2014

Everything seems ok in manifest.
Can you try sending me your android project to my nickname @ gmail.com?
I will try to get to computer and check it

SimplesApps · May 2014

Sorry @ar2rsawseen but I'd deleted the project from Eclipse.
I'll try to import again, adding the libs, etc. in order to see if it works.

I let you know.
Thanks.
