Android Question High eCPM ad network Appodeal SDK for B4A errors

[cambopad]

Hi everyone!

I just discovered a good ad network which will automatically optimizes the eCPM among many different ad networks such as Admob, UnityAd, Chartboost,..etc for you so that you will get the highest revenue for your apps without wasting your app traffics. This network is Appodeal!

You don't need to waste time for creating accounts with admob,UnityAd, Chartboost, or other ad networks. All you need is ONE account with Appodeal!

This is their homepage: http://www.appodeal.com/
Their B4A wrapper: http://www.appodeal.com/sdk

They actually have B4A wrapper, yet I cannot get it working with B4A app at all. After integrating their SDK, my app always crashed and get the following error message:

** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **

Note: I tested on both real device and emulator!
Can anyone help me what are the real causes of this problem?

Just my guess: You forgot to copy Appodeal SDK jar file to Additional Library?

I already copied Appodeal SDK jar and their xml file to Additional Lib folder! I don't really know what's wrong with it!

 

[susu]

Did you add permissions into AndroidManifest.xml ?
Sorry, I'm using mobile so I can't test it. I will try it later.

 

[cambopad]

Hi @susu, I added all neccessary permissions already! I followed all the instructions on their website, yet no luck at all!
Please let me know if you can get it working

 

[susu]

Honestly, I tried to make sample app with their SDK but I can't compile because error in Manifest file. I think you should ask Appodeal for support. Sorry, I can't help you.

I tried to ask them for support but haven't been able to solve the problem yet!

Thanks you! I solved the issue already! The SDK now works great!

how are the earnings from this network from your experience? I want to publish my app and my only experience is with Admob... Should I stick with Admob only?

No answers to the previous @eSolution's post?

Is Appodeal a good choice?
