Hi,
I've changed the jar file and added it on the Java Build Path.
However, Eclipse can't resolve AdWhirlLayout as a type which wasn't a problem in 2.5.4.
Too simple to find a glitch in my process.

Hello,

The download for AdWhirl 2.5.5 for Android appears to be corrupt.
I've downloaded it a few times with different browsers, and Eclipse
simply cannot open it.

Anyone else having trouble?

Looks like it did get corrupted somehow, sorry about that. I've re-
uploaded the zip.

The new Version is not working for me. It won't display any ads at all
(I use it together with AdWhirl).

That's what it's showing in the Logcat, but no ads are displayed

Rolling back to 2.5.4. and everything works fine again.

The error happens on all versions of android I have so far (HTC Desire
with Froyo 2.2 as a real device and Emulators 1.5, 1.6, 2.1 and 2.2)

Odessa,

Are you using the latest AdMob SDK? AdWhirl v2.5.5 will not work
properly with older AdMob SDKs.

Tried that as first thing.

And there is nothing in the AdMob documentation which describes
anything with AdMobActivity. Worked just fine before with 2.5.4

Ah. The new AdMob SDK does require AdMobActivity to be in your
AndroidManifest.xml. Add something like the below and you'll get past
that error.

<activity android:name="com.admob.android.ads.AdMobActivity"
android:theme="@android:style/
Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboard|
keyboardHidden"
/>

I saved an app setting and now everything disappeared. All the ad networks
are gone, all the settings are gone. Anyone else have this problem? Can
someone from adwhirl help?

Thanks!

If it's the app I think it is (the untitled one in your account with an unknown platform at a list of 0 ad networks), you should try going to App Settings to enter a name and set the platform properly.

Cheers,
Wes

Yes, I had it a few days I ago. I guess you're opera user.

If you change the settings of an App on the AdWhirl page using Opera
Browser (I used Opera 10.63), the page will hang in an endless loop
trying to send the changed settings. Once you cancel it and go back to
the settings change, everything is gone. And your App will have
"untitled" or "unnamed" as a name and everything else gone of course.

I solved it by logging in in FireFox 3.6 and reentering all the
settings again. Well at least the App Settings. After saving, the
adnetwork settings were back in place. So only half of the settings
seems to be gone lost.

@wes: Maybe you could look into it and see what was causing this. I
dunno when it started to happen, but it happend a few days ago for me,
when I tried to change the refresh rate.

Thanks! (ya, that's exactly what happened. I was too scared to do anything,
emailed admob, and they fixed it. cool)

I tried this and I get

AndroidManifest: Ignoring unknown
'com.admob.android.ads.AdMobActivity' XML element

I'm using Eclipse with the Android SDK.
My eyes are starting to cross from looking at the code for so long.
I am new to Android and Admob. Forgive any ignorance on my part.

AdSense Client Id starts with "ca-mb-pub-", NOT "ca-mb-app-pub-".
Please update AdWhirl SDK ,ASAP!!!

It's in AdSenseAdapter.java!
