Android Question Updated SDK now AdMob crashes.

[ptp170]

Hi,

Just updated my SDK to version 20 and also updated Google Play Services to ver20.

Android.jar is set to ver 20 in Tools>Configure

Moved the latest google-play-services.jar into the Libraries folder.

Am using the latest Admob Library from here (2.00?)

MinSDK is set to 13.

Now my apps crash straight away...

Was using this code originally..

AdView1.Initialize("Ad", "ca-app-pub-*")

Have also tried this method (which I hadn't seen before)

AdView1.Initialize2("Ad", "ca-app-pub-8", AdView1.SIZE_SMART_BANNER)

Anyone any ideas?!?

Are you sure that you have copied google-play-services.jar to the libraries folder?

Make sure that there isn't an old copy of this jar in the internal libraries folder.

I've made a copy of the project and thinned it down to just the first screen with the adverts to remove any other possible issues. The same error(s) occur 'Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.android.gms.ads.AdSize'

I've recopied the google-play-services.jar again just in case to C:\Program Files (x86)\Anywhere Software\Basic4android\Libraries. It is version 20 according to the SDK.

Admob Library ver is 2.00
B4A version is 3.8
Android.jar is v20 (C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-20\android.jar)

#AdditionalRes: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms I've checked just incase the directory structure has changed and it hasn't.

AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="13" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
    android:normalScreens="true"
    android:smallScreens="true"
    android:anyDensity="true"/>)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")

'AdMob
AddApplicationText(
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
  android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>
<activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
  android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>

)
'End of AdMob
'End of default text.

All of this was working flawlessly before so I can't really understand what's happened!

I've dropped back to ver19 of Android.jar and kept Google_play_services.jar v20

The App now fires up without crashing BUT I get this error..

Main_Activity_Create java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value.  Expected 4452000 but found 6111000.  You must have the following declaration within the <application> element:     <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

I've also tried using a backed up version of google-play-services.jar with android.jar V15 as this is what I was using before I made the 'mistake' of updating the SDK. Using this original combination I get exactly the same error message as above...


EDIT: Started a brand new clean project using android.jar v20 and google_play_services.jar v20. Get the same 'adsize' error as detailed in the first post...

Are you using B4A v3.82?

 

[ptp170]

Are you using B4A v3.82?

V3.8

 

[Erel]

Use v3.82. It should fix this issue.

 

[ptp170]

Use v3.82. It should fix this issue.

My subscription ended just before 3.82 came out. Is there a workaround?

 

[Erel]

It will only work with v3.82. Please contact [email protected].

 

[alexis]

Same error here.

 

[ptp170]

Same error here.

You need to update to 3.82, this fixed it straight away

 

[alexis]

Thanks PTP170. Unfortunately my subscription also expired a bit before the new upgrade. I might still have to leave the old admob way for a while.
