Very basic Tap for Tap plugin started.

bryanv · November 2013

I can't post links but look up Gideros-TapForTapPlugin on GitHub.

It only supports interstitial ads right now but I'd appreciate some help making it a little more robust and fixing bugs. Big thanks to @ar2rsawseen for the tutorial on creating plugins which I used to make this one.

Awesome stuff @bryanv! I'll try it out tomorrow most likely. Here is the link everyone: https://github.com/dustyatticgames/Gideros-TapForTapPlugin

@amaximov Thank you and thanks for posting the link!

Haven't looked at the plugin yet, but I wonder if it's possible to integrate this with Ads Interface?

@ar2rsawseen How does Ads Interface work? On Android for example, is there a Java wrapper that communicates as the middle man between Gideros Lua and each Ad library? Specifically, does adding support for a new Ad framework require any "traditional" Gideros plugin development or is it a matter of integrating the ad library into the Ad Interface Java source?

If it's like that, Tap for Tap would be a nice addition to see in Ads Interface. Oh and last question, to Pro members get to see the actual source of Ads Interface, or do they just get a compiled lib to use? If the source is available for Pro members I would love to help with Tap for Tap integration on Android

@amaximov, no it does not require any traditional Gideros plugin development

All you need to do is create a class, which should go like: AdsFrameworkname
(And it will automatically be available from lua as Ads.new("frameworkname") )

Then let this java class implement AdsInterface and allow it to generate all required methods.
Then simply wrap Plugin functionality around this methods.

You can use Ads class static methods to add/remove ads from main view:

Ads.addAd(this, adView);
Ads.removeAd(this, adView);

or dispatch events:

//developer error
Ads.adError(this, "Provide App ID");
 
//ad dismissed
Ads.adDismissed(this);
 
//ad failed to load
Ads.adFailed(this, "Error");
 
//ad received
Ads.adReceived(this);
 
//performed actions on ad
Ads.adActionBegin(this)
Ads.adActionEnd(this)

Yeah, I think I'll do this instead of my approach. A full Gideros plugin is probably overkill if I can just implement an interface. I'll give it a shot and post the code.

Does the interface support interstitial ads?

ar2rsawseen · November 2013

There is a showAd method, which is a variable argument method, meaning you can pass any amount of string values there, so you can like pass
showAd("banner") or showAd("interstitial")

check the value on Java side and show corresponding ad

bryanv · November 2013

Perfect, I'll give that a shot.

Finishing up the free version of my game and I really wanted to use Tap for Tap but unfortunately ads interface doesn't support it yet

I can definitely do the Android/Java portion myself but not the iPhone part. @ar2rsawseen and @bryanv are there plans for including Tap for Tap into ads interface?

ar2rsawseen · January 2014

No worries, will do it this weekend, along the others additions to AdsInterface

amaximov · January 2014

Sounds good, looking forward to it
