Need help to show a banner ad

Questions
#1

Hey,

I’m trying to add a banner ad to my video game. So I used this code and I also set the extension (https://github.com/Lerg/extension-admob/archive/master.zip) in my game.project file.

My problem is that the banner doesn’t display once the game is on my phone.
However, I have the message INFO:ADMOB: init in my console…
Of course, in my code, I replaced the ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2934735716 IDs with my own.

My code :

-- Banner id for iOS and Android.
local banner_id = {
	['iPhone OS'] = 'ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2934735716',
	Android = 'ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111'
}
local sysinfo = sys.get_sys_info()

local function listener(event)
	print('admob event type', event.type)
	print('admob event phase', event.phase)
	if event.phase == 'init' then -- Admob has been initialized, now it's safe to load a banner.
		admob.load{
			type = 'banner',
			id = banner_id[sysinfo.system_name],
			size = 'smart',
			position = 'bottom',
			keywords = {'puzzle', 'game'}
		}
	end
end

-- Init Admob.
admob.init{
	test = true, -- ALWAYS use test ads, only disable when submitting to the stores.
	listener = listener
}

Anyone have an idea please ?

What does the device log say?

#3

How to check the device log ? :sweat_smile:

#4

Check this manual: Debugging - game and system logs

#5

Sent u the logs in private message :slight_smile:

#6

We can’t really spend time on one-on-one support so please share logs here in the public so that everyone can help out. Redact any private information if needed.

The logs you sent me didn’t show anything of interest. An unfiltered log (you filtered on info coming from Defold) may help.

But first please try the official AdMob extension and see if that makes any difference:

There’s an example project bundled with the extension. Please try the example and verify that it works on your phone.

No problems, i understand.
So, i tested the example projec t on my phone and it works perfectly.
This is the script i must use to show a banner ?

Good to hear that it worked. You don’t need that full script since it’s for showcasing all of the functionality. Extract what you need from the script. Use it as an example!

Thanks!
So this script should work fine ?

#10

this code is in a ads.gui_script

#11

You probably shouldn’t call admod.initialize() for all inputs.

#12

It’s hard for us to guess the specifics without spending time on reading and analyzing your script.

If you have an issue, it’s better to mention the issue, and what errors you get.

Otherwise, I recommend you try the example script, and then removing parts of the functionality you think you don’t need, and debugging the behavior on your end.

#13

when i call it so?

#14

Okay so, i debugged my project and i don’t get any errors but ads are not showing.
Also, here is my game.project file configuration for Admob :

[admob]
app_id_ios = ca-app-pub-1641647182019187~HERE-I-REPLACED-BY-MY-ID
app_id_android = ca-app-pub-1641647182019187~HERE-I-REPLACED-BY-MY-ID
ios_tracking_usage_description = Your data will be used to provide you a better and personalized ad experience.

Here my ads.gui_script :

local function admob_callback(self, message_id, message)
	if message_id == admob.MSG_INITIALIZATION then
		self.initialized = true
		if message.event == admob.EVENT_COMPLETE then

	elseif message_id == admob.MSG_BANNER then

			set_block_height(message.height)

Obviously, i replaced the ca-app-pub-1641647182019187/HERE-I-REPLACED-BY-MY-ID by the reals Android & IOS ID’s.

#16

And, does it work with the test id?

#17

I’m gonna try

#18

nah, ads are not showing when i debug but i get this in my console :
INFO:Admob: Registered extension Admob (null)

#19

You need to figure out what you changed, since the example was working, and now it doesn’t.

#20

This code is outside of the lifecycle functions. You can’t run that type of code there. All code must be run as a response to a lifecycle function, for instance on init, on_message or on_input.
