Phonegap and AdSense on Android App

[Raphael Cohen]

Hi all.

I have placed an AdSense script block on a phonegap app for Android (AdSense for content pages) which works pretty well and displays Ok. Whenever a user taps on an ad, the link is opened in the main WebView, and the user can't go back to the app since all bindings on device buttons are lost. I have tried to implement a solution replacing all links with a window.open fallback, but that doesn't work very well. I would like to know if anyone had great luck implementing AdSense in a phonegap app and how they did it right.

I hae also set a few values in the config.xml but these don't seem to help much on Android:

<preference name="phonegap-version"           value="2.9.0" />

...

<preference name="OpenAllWhitelistURLsInWebView" value="No" />

<preference name="stay-in-webview"            value="false" />

Thanks for any clue.

If anyone interested, I abandoned AdSense/AdMob completely because you have two options when using phonegap:

1. Use an AdMob plugin for phonegap, and then you can't use phonegap build service.

2. Use AdSense script code inside your app, and then you break the T&C stated by google and risk to be banned.

So, I am now using LeadBolt which authorizes HTML/JS banners in WebViews.

Hi Raphael,

I am certainly interested to know how you went with LeadBolt. I tried inMobi, but it didn;t look that good. Could you please note down the steps to get LeadBolt going in phonegap android app.

Thanks,

Amit

Hey Amit.

I am still using Leabolt in a few apps and I am quite satisfied with it. Using it is pretty straight forward. After creating a Leadbolt publisher account, log in to your account through www.leadboltnetwork.net. And then :

1. Go in APPS and click on "create a new app / mobile web".

2. Click on "Add section" next to your app, and select tab "HTML ads", and then select the type of ad you want to include in your app (I mostly use App banner).

3. copy and paste the <script> code where you want to place the ad in your app.

That's about it. After that, don't forget to go in live mode: to do so, you must provide a download link to your app so they can test it, and they will email you once it is approved (it never took more than a working day).

Just a note: if you are debuging on a desktop browser, it is normal not to see ads because they only get displayed on mobile devices. You can get them to appear on desktop if you change your user-agent, or if you use the device emulator in Chrome's developer tools (F12).

Hi. Sorry, but I don't know. Just create an account and try.
