InMobi support in Android Adwhirl SDK 2.6.2

[tag]

I tried to integrate the InMobi sdk with AdWhirl.
When trying it out I got the following exception, however the
InMobiAndroidSDK jar is in build path:

D/AdWhirl SDK(16735): Showing ad:
D/AdWhirl SDK(16735): nid: 271e298c98f34f91a568bd46242a6d0c
D/AdWhirl SDK(16735): name: inmobi
D/AdWhirl SDK(16735): type: 18
D/AdWhirl SDK(16735): key: ff8080812d54a4d8012d93f473ee022a
D/AdWhirl SDK(16735): key2:
W/AdWhirl SDK(16735): Unsupported ration type: 18
W/AdWhirl SDK(16735): Caught an exception in adapter:
W/AdWhirl SDK(16735): java.lang.Exception: Invalid adapter

I have checked the jar files, and it seems to me AdWhirl tries to find
a class named InMobiAdRenderer
and no such one exists in the current InMobi SDK. I have downloaded it
today.
Is it possible to solve this somehow?
And where can i find the sources for newest adwhirl sdk?
Thanks

Same here - I guess inmobi just updated their SDK.

[matt]

I am getting the same issue.

[matt]

looking at the source basically it just seems like the InMobi adapter
is not included in version 2.6.2 of AdWhirl. seems weird that would
even make it an option on their site.

I have checked the jar file of 2.6.2 SDK, and the classes are there,
and there is value
for inmobi in AdWhirlUtil, NETWORK_TYPE_INMOBI = 18.
Some support is in 2.6.2

[Damjan]

According to source, adwhirl doesn't implement inmobi network - yet.

There is no public static final int NETWORK_TYPE_INMOBI = 18
in http://code.google.com/p/adwhirl/source/browse/src/com/adwhirl/util/AdWhirlUtil.java?repo=sdk-android

and no InMobi adapter
in http://code.google.com/p/adwhirl/source/browse?repo=sdk-android#hg%2Fsrc%2Fcom%2Fadwhirl%2Fadapters

Yes I know, it is not in the source.
But the last change in that source tree was made Nov 29, 2010, and I
can't see the tag for 2.6.2, which was released in january
The latest sdk is not from those sources, and you can check for
NETWORK_TYPE_INMOBI
with eclipse, it is there in 2.6.2.

I see inMobi AD showing in my test app which use adwhirl. But it is very hard to let it show up, may be network (ad network) issue.

[Damjan]

I see. Thanks for info. I can't see 2.6.2 either.

[John]

So in your case, you don't see the exception listed by the OP? Did you
use the latest versions of the SDKs for the inMobi and AdWhirl?

I'm getting the same Type 18 Failure - from looking at the source in
the depository it seems to be in the iPhone build, but not in the
Android Build ,though I realize according to the version history the
source only reflects up to 2.6.0 back from November, so maybe some
half-a'd version is in the 2.6.2 build...

I ended up writing my own Adapter for InMobi, but I just need to
figure out how to rebuild the Jar so I can test it. Anyone done this
before?

[tiger king]

Yes. No any other special configuration. I tried both Admob and Inmobi. but it is very hard to let them show up. I tried 1 hour and it shows 2 ads. I suspect that adwhirl has potential bugs. since sometime, I can see house ad returned per logcat logs, but it does not show up on screen.

Which inMobi SDK did you use? According to inMobi, their v2.0 (the
only one available on their site) isn't compatible with AdWhirl SDK
(hence the exception). According to them, I need to use the older v1.2
SDK but even they are not responding back to me on where I can
download the SDK 1.2.

[tiger king]

Yes. Just check the InMobi sdk I am using. It is 1.2.
Attaching a copy in case you need it (only jar file)

Thanks for the file! I'll try it out.

Thanks for the Jar - I'll have to try it out.

Here's what I got going yesterday with the Inmobi 2 SDK, but the ads
look wrong (2 different background colors & icon sits under text) when
they finally do
show up (it was giving me admob and others most of the time eventhough
I had it set to 100% inMobi with no backfill.. gotta be a server-side
issue on that..)

Dont know how to post attachments here yet, but maybe this'll be
helpful to someone out there

Ok, so v1.2 SDK works with the current version of AdWhirl SDK. (Well,
at least it doesn't throw exception).

So far, I have yet to see any ads from inMobi though. If you look at
the Logcat for AdWhirl, every ad request is followed by either "<some
ad network> success" or "<some ad network> failure", except for inMobi
which does not report either. Also, AdWhirl always skips down to the
next network in the chain. Has anyone actually seen an ad served by
inMobi using inMobi v1.2 SDK?

[Steve B]

I did see some inmobi ads come in with the Jar that Tiger Provided..
Plain little text ad though about half the height of a typical admob
ad so it looks a little funky.
I HAVE noticed though that even if I set to only use inmobi it'll
still squeeze in admob etc a lot of the time

[EasonPai]

I tried v1.2 too, but there are no such method in v1.2
"InMobiAdView.initialize(this.getApplicationContext(), this, this,
InMobiAdDelegate.INMOBI_AD_UNIT_320X48);"
which is appeared in v2 sample code.

How do you handle this?

Thanks

[Steve B]

If you're wanting to use the inmobi 1.2 with adwhirl 2.6.2 just add
the jar to your project and enable it in your adwhirl control panel.
