Android Question [RESOLVED] Appodeal Ads / incompatibility some library

[MarcoRome]

Are some days that i try to solve with the support Appodeal ( very disponible ) some problem "compatibility" with some librarys B4A.
If library Appodeal work "alone" without another specific library ( that we all utilize ) all work without problem. But if you add some library have problem in compilation.
1. Problem with MSMaterialDrawer: Resolved. In Appodeal_xx.jar delete folder "android".
2. Problem with HttUtils2 + okHttp: Problem Pending ( support Appodeal working progress ). If i have news, update this Thread.

RESOLVED
Thank you Alex ( Support Appodeal ) the problem is resolve.
But remember this:
1. In Manifest you must replace this line

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@Integer/google_play_services_version" />

with this

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="7895000" />

2. If you have this line code:

#AdditionalRes: C:\Android\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms
#AdditionalJar: google-play-services.jar

both must be commented

3. In attachment wrapper modified ( i think that soon you found this on site Appodeal or maybe already exist, anyway in attachment link )

Thanks you MarcoRome for posting this helpful tips. I also experienced some issue, but now have fixed all of them .
So to make it clear:

1.If you download Appodeal SDK for B4A with Google Play Service already embedded, you need to replace:

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@Integer/google_play_services_version" />

With this:

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="7895000" />

Finally, don't forget to comment these lines because we don't want a duplicate of Google Play Services:

#AdditionalRes: C:\Android\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms
#AdditionalJar: google-play-services.jar

Hope this will help!

Anyway, @MarcoRome How does Appodeal perform for you?
I going to release my apps with Appodeal by next week

Hi campopad. It is not exacly so
If you go appodeal.com you have two library. One with service another without service. One months ago ( more or less ) i tried the demo is all worked without any problem, and so after implementing this library my app, i started having some problems. Some incompatibilities with the other libraries.
So i contact support and after several trials the support Appo has found a solution.
If you see i add one new library ( point 3 ). This new library havent Google Play Service already embedded.
Again today if you go on the site have "old" documentation ( you see again in manifest the line point 1 ).
Anyway, for sure if you utilize a lot library ( HttpUtils + okHttp + Material + etc. ) and configuration that i have reported #1 all work.

Now i answer 2 question:
Appodeal perform for me ?
For now is soon to give an answer, i configured a single app with this system. I'll wait a couple of months to see if performs and whether to continue or return to the only AdMob.
Cheers

Hi MarcoRome,

Have you tested their new SDK v1.13.1 yet?
Can you test compiling this B4A sample project found on their site?
Link to Sample Project

I downloaded and tested their B4A sample project. Then I compiled the project, and it took very long time to compile. When the app ran, I pressed on a button "INITIALIZE" then a toast message appear saying: "ERROR: Mailru not found". After that the app crashed! I can't get this new version working at all! I tried to contact their support via Skype with no reply yet.

No not yet.
But anyway i see your example and with library change ( look #1 ) dont work.
Do you try with this library modified ??

 

[cambopad]

I haven't tried your modified library yet! But I think your modified lib is an older version of Appodeal SDK.
I want to use their new version because it include Facebook Audience Network and many improvements.

Anyway, after I tried many times. I got the Appodeal B4A with Google Play Service embedded to work. However, when I test Appodeal B4A without Google Play Service embedded, this time it doesn't crash, but always display a message: "ERROR: Admob not found".

More headache now!

Hi, @Diana_app

I too am interested in this. With Apple closing their iAd services, this is the ideal time to jump in and grab more people to advertise for you. I contacted AdBuddiz, however they were too busy to look into it, so I am still looking for an Advertising solution for iOS.

Cheers

Hi @MarcoRome , @cambopad , @Diana_app
I integrated Appodeal into my app but there's always no ads to show (no banner/interstitial/video). I know I need to wait for a few hours but it's more than 9 hours already. I tried sample project of Appodeal, it worked and showed many ads on my device.
What can I do now? Thanks.

Hi Marco,
I'm not sure my code work or not. It's only show "banner/interstitial/video ads failed to load" in the log.
Could you please share your sample code that worked? Thank you so much.

Hi @MarcoRome
In your sample code, why there's no #AdditionalJar and #AdditionalRes ?

 

[susu]

I figure out! It only works if #VersionName is not empty! Why didn't they write that in the document???

Susu this example i used some time ago. If i remember it isn't required.
