B4A Library Leadbolt Ads

MiniDemonic · Nov 7, 2011

Thanks, now I just need to wait and see which one brings me more cash :d

Just in case someone finds the same problem. it took me some time to discover it

WebViewAd.LoadHtml("<html><head></head><body topmargin=0 leftmargin=0><script type='text/javascript' src='http://ad.leadbolt.net/show_app_ad.js?section_id=xxxxxxxxx'></script></body></html>")

you have to add the topmargin=0 and the leftmargin=0 or the ad will be slightly to the right and down.

Hello,

During configuration for LeadBolt, the manifest gets the following

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>

Are these really necesary?

Thanks and regards,

Hi nad,

Thanks for the tip on webview. You might also need to override the click event/urloverride thing and open in the right browser:

B4X:

Sub wv_OverrideUrl (Url As String) As Boolean 'wv is your webview
   Dim i As Intent
   i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, url)
   StartActivity(i)
   Return True
End Sub

As for the permission, not all is needed. I have not used the location permissions at all in all my apps.

Network state and phone state are needed.

Wake lock I am not sure, but wakes your phone up when a new notification ad is received. I think it is not necessary if you are not using notification ad.

Receive boot completed is needed if you want the ads to auto show when devices restarts. Also not needed if you do not need notification ads to show when device boots up.

You can get rid of all the other location permissions, it is optional.

Do share how things go with leadbolt...

Good luck!

Hi Vidyashankar,

Just to check a few things first.

1 - Is the ad (for xxxxxxxx) set up as "on demand" notification in leadbolt's dashboard?
2 - Can you try adding adLeadbolt.setasync = true after the initialise line?
3 - They updated the android sdk, try re-downloading that and give it a try.

Let me know if it works or not... I'll try to help.

Good luck!

mkvidyashankar · Nov 17, 2011

Hi Thank You very much ssg for help

I tried these steps

I changed Notification type as "on demand"

code is

adleadbolt.Initialize
adleadbolt.AsynchTask=True
adLeadbolt.loadLeadboltAds("913437026", adLeadbolt.ADS_NOTIFICATION)

then i used new SDK

but not getting the notifications

ssg · Nov 17, 2011

Hi,

Would you be able to export your project into a zip file and attach it here?

Let me have a look at the project file.

Cheers!

mkvidyashankar · Nov 17, 2011

project zip file is 633 km not allowed here to upload

sending herewith code and manifest files

ssg · Nov 17, 2011

Hi Vidyashankar,

I think you should not use the same variable twice in following lines:

adLeadbolt.loadLeadboltAds("677831699", adLeadbolt.ADS_APP)
adLeadbolt.loadLeadboltAds("913437026", adLeadbolt.ADS_NOTIFICATION)

Try removing the first one and see.

Let me know if that works.

mkvidyashankar · Nov 17, 2011

I tried this , now getting ads thank you very much ssg

Dim adleadbolt,adleadbolt1 As LeadboltWrapper

adleadbolt.Initialize
adleadbolt.AsynchTask=True
adLeadbolt.loadLeadboltAds("677831699", adLeadbolt.ADS_APP)
adleadbolt1.Initialize
adleadbolt1.AsynchTask=True
adLeadbolt1.loadLeadboltAds("913437026", adLeadbolt1.ADS_NOTIFICATION)

walterf25 · Nov 18, 2011

Hello all, i apologize beforehand if this is a stupid question, i just signed up with Leadbolt and added my application and the whole 9 yards, i'm still trying to understand how to display their ads in my application, i copy the following code but where do i put this code within basic4android
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ad.leadboltads.net/show_app_ad.js?section_id=xxxxxxxxx"></script>
can anyone help me out please?

Thanks,

What you are trying is html ad which can be displayed in web view

apart from this you can try this code

Dim adleadbolt,adleadbolt1 As LeadboltWrapper

adleadbolt.Initialize
adleadbolt.AsynchTask=True
adLeadbolt.loadLeadboltAds("your ad id", adLeadbolt.ADS_APP)
adleadbolt1.Initialize
adleadbolt1.AsynchTask=True
adLeadbolt1.loadLeadboltAds("your ad id", adLeadbolt1.ADS_NOTIFICATION)

to get your ad id, you have configure ads in leadbolt dashboard

ssg · Nov 18, 2011

What Vidyashankar said is right, you are setting up an ad unit as a html ad.

You will need to load the html snippet into a webview in your application.

Do consider the other ad types too as Vidyashankar has suggested.

Good luck and let us know if you need any further assistance!

pluton · Nov 18, 2011

Hi everyone

I just changed some details in my tutorial here:
http://www.b4x.com/forum/69502-post26.html

Because in new version Leadbolt changed name from:
[OLD] - Dim adLeadbolt As AdMobWrapper
to
[NEW] - Dim adLeadbolt As LeadboltWrapper

and added two attachment:
lb_android_sdk_basic4android_v1.02.zip

- LeadboltWrapper.jar
- LeadboltController.xml
- LeadboltWrapper.xml

lb_android_sdk_v2.06.zip

- LeadboltController.jar

Have a nice day

walterf25 · Nov 18, 2011

Thanks guys, do you guys have a code sample to do this using the html code snippet?

walterf25 · Nov 18, 2011

Hey guys, i apologize but i followed the code below, created an android sdk ad in leadbolt and it is approved but when i run the code on my emulator i don't see anything, what am I missing, help please!

Sub Globals
'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
'These variables can only be accessed from this module.

Dim adLeadbolt As LeadboltWrapper
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
activity.LoadLayout("layout1")

adLeadbolt.Initialize
adLeadbolt.AsynchTask = True

'set adLeadbolt.ADS_APP for app sdk ads and adLeadbolt.ADS_NOTIFICATION for notification ads
adLeadbolt.loadLeadboltAds("xxxxxxxxx", adLeadbolt.ADS_APP)
End Sub

:BangHead:

MiniDemonic · Nov 19, 2011

@walterf25
You need to replace the x's with the ad id which you can find by going to the Apps page in Leadbolt and pressing Get Code on the ad you want to use.

ssg · Nov 19, 2011

Hi,

Do also post up your manifest file.

I won't have much access for the weekend, replies from me will be slow...

Good luck!

Cheers!
