Phonegap + Android + Admob SDK

[M Sree Abhinav]

Admob has stopped serving even Smartphone Web Ads. Previously, this
was the perfect solution to serving admob ads on phonegap
applications. I want to ask if anyone has got Admob working on an
Android phonegap application using the Native sdk. The issue i have is
that because of the super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/
index.html") superimposes over the entire LinearLayout which houses
the ad, if done following the example on the admob site. Is there
anyway in which we can reduce the size of droidgap webview so that the
native layout is also displyed. Google wants us to use Adsense. But
since the phonegap android app is not a website, tracking becomes a
major issue. Please help.

I used the admob android sdk in my app, replacing the findViewById
call with a direct reference to super.root

At least in my case everything seems to resize correctly.

hey Dan,

can u give me a reference code, not able to get it done properly.

[Abhinav Sree]

Actually Dan thanks a lot, got it working.

[Horst]

MillennialMedia offers a AdMob-Fallback. So you can try to add
MillenialMedia and get AdMob-Ads this way. MilleniamMedia also offer a
Server-API, which makes the ad handling much easier.

best regards
Horst

Dan or Abhinav, can you post the code you used to
use the admob sdk? I was using the javascript
method, but it's no longer working.

thanks!

The code is nearly identical to the example code provided by admob. I
use the following code after my super.loadUrl call. You'll have to
add a view variable declarations at the class level as well. Note,
see the admob docs for required entries in the manifest.xml

// Create the adView
adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, MY_AD_UNIT_ID);

// Lookup your LinearLayout assuming it's been given
// the attribute android:id="@+id/mainLayout"
LinearLayout layout = super.root; // this is the only change
from the sample

// Add the adView to it
layout.addView(adView);

// Initiate a generic request to load it with an ad
AdRequest request = new AdRequest();
//request.setTesting(true);

adView.loadAd(request);

Hey Dan!
Thanks for the code... Its works perfect. Its show ads @ the bottom of
the screen...

For Newbie...

You need to import widget class like...

import android.widget.LinearLayout;


My Complete code...


import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
import com.google.ads.*;
import com.phonegap.*;

public class testActivity extends DroidGap {
private static final String MY_AD_UNIT_ID = "yourId";
private AdView adView;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");

// Create the adView
adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, MY_AD_UNIT_ID);

LinearLayout layout = super.root; // this is the only change
from the sample
// Add the adView to it
layout.addView(adView);
// Initiate a generic request to load it with an ad

adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());

[az]

Thanks guys! With your help it was a piece of cake.

Note: I also had to increase the Project Build Target to at
least 13 to support some of the Manifest changes.

[Abhinav Sree]

well chetan, if you want to display the ad at the top just load the ad before loading the URL

[Chetankumar Akarte]

Abhinav Thanks!

Hi all,
I have one more question I wan to separate add unit and contents, How
can I do that?
When ads get serve on page, It allows me to scroll, but sometime it
become little tedious, so I want to separate and content.
Please take a look at my app... so you will get clear idea.

Hi,
I have replaced the above code and now I am getting "The field DroidGap.root is not visible" error. How to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

[sentiense technologies]

Hi all,

Thanks for the information.

I have tried the above code but still I could not see any ad in the
page. Below is the code in my apps.
I am getting compilation error "The field DroidGap.root is not
visible".

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;

import com.google.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.ads.AdSize;
import com.google.ads.AdView;
import com.phonegap.DroidGap;

public class HomePage extends DroidGap {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */

private static final String MY_AD_UNIT_ID = "My_Id";
private AdView adView;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");

// LinearLayout layout = super.root; // this is the only change
from the sample
LinearLayout layout =
(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.mainLayout);

// Create the adView
adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, MY_AD_UNIT_ID);

// Add the adView to it
layout.addView(adView);
// Initiate a generic request to load it with an ad
AdRequest request = new AdRequest();

request.setTesting(true);

adView.loadAd(request);
}

Could any one help me out in fixing this. I have been trying to
include ads in my apps for last one week. I have more than one page in
the apps and I wish to include the ads in most of the pages. Please
throw some light on this too.

Thanks in advance

[John Spounias]

After messing around with sencha touch panels for a week
unsuccessfully this fix worked for me in 20 minutes. Thanks for all
your hard work.

I have this working, but everytime an ad is loaded, it pushes down the rest of my view.  Has anyone else experienced this?  I tried adding an onResume with:

super.loadUrl("javascript:window.location.reload();");

But the weird thing is that NEVER works the first time - the first time the view is rendered with a new ad.  But if I hit the home button, and then go back into the app, then it does the reload, and the layout is fine.  I've spent a couple days trying to figure out either why the newly loaded ad pushes down/messes up my layout, or at least how to get the onResume reload to work the first time.

[Gonzalo]

Hi, thanks a lot, this thread was very useful.

So if there any possibility of controlling the ad display by page? I mean, i want to display the ad in some pages but not in all.

Regards

[Autinhorse]

I met same problem and I googled web couldnot find right solution for it.

My main view showed first, after several seconds, adview showed and push main view down, it will give user very bad feeling.

I guess all people using Admob will not like it. Is there anyone meet this problem and have solution?

Thanks.
