How to use?

[Bayaola]

I do not very well understand how to use this module to display advertising in my game. You can simply explain the steps for a beginner?

[Mavhod]

Since Godot change build Android from ant to gradle and removed Google play services, this module is must change something, and I must research it, sorry.

[Bayaola]

ok, could I have another direction for advertising in my game?

[Mavhod]

If you not strict, maybe you download old Godot revision from Github for use this module.

Above is issue from punto version, but I still not success to try it.

[Bayaola]

I think I'll publish my game without advertising, hoping that GodotAdmob will be updated thanks and courage to you

[Mavhod]

Ok after try it, I can build Godot with admob again, you can pull last repo and read README again.

[Bayaola]

Hi Mavhod, in the example in the main.gd file. I do not understand the origin of the "AdMob" singleton. in my game it will always happen in the same way?

[Mavhod]

AdMob singleton will available on Andriod and with set

[android]
modules="org/godotengine/godot/GodotAdMob"

in engine.cfg, otherwise it will be null, you can see banner on Android device only hasn't emulation on PC device.

[Bayaola]

OK, I understand the operation of your module, I would like to say thank you for the time that you give me, I understand the principle and I have compiled your module with the sources of godot1.1 because it is with this version that I am working, I don't know how to find or generate this file "godot/platform/android/java/build/outputs/apk/java-release-unsigned.apk" , I looked it up in the given directory but the directory does not exist. how can i get it please?

[Bayaola]

I followed your instructions here http://www.godotengine.org/topics/4380?r=13755 when I validate the command "scons platform = android target = release", android isn't listed in my scons. There is only x 11, Windows and server

[Mavhod]

If you build with Godot 1.1 you must use old version Admob module: https://github.com/Mavhod/GodotAdmob/tree/449191c5fe65e96037df53b45f7470cecf4ad985

make .apk with ant release then apk will place here: platform/android/java/bin/Godot-release-unsigned.apk

For scons command and not found android platform maybe you haven't Android SDK, NDK This guide is useful: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/wiki/compiling_android

[Bayaola]

it's working now, but only in portrait orientation mode.

[Mavhod]

What happen when landscape orientation?

[Bayaola]

the banner disappears

[Mavhod]

In a beginning it will use a few second for load ads.

[Bayaola]

3 minutes and still nothing

[Mavhod]

Usually if portrait work so landscape should work too, You can investigate error from Android check log tools (e.g. ddms from android-sdk/tools)

Why was the above poster using scons and not gradlew.bat? Anyway I'm having trouble compiling this in 2.0.3. I have the Android platform set up (can compile the export templates). I have followed the instructions but when I run gradlew.bat build it seems the import com.google.android.gms.ads cannot be found. Thanks in advance.

:compileDebugJava
H:\dev\godot\src\godot-2.0.3-stable\platform\android\java\src\org\godotengine\godot\GodotAdMob.java:
7: error: package com.google.android.gms.ads does not exist
import com.google.android.gms.ads.*;

[Mavhod]

I use Arch Linux and can build fine (scons + gradlew), with last Godot commit version and Android SDK, I'm not sure where is admob package keep, maybe you miss it?

[guawoo]

It can't work in windows. I built it with godot 2.0.3 stable. everything was fine when compiled,no error reported,but it crashed when ran in mobile phone.I have no idea how to solve this problem.

Can you upload the binary template apk, that I need not to compile by myself. easy to use ;)

[Mavhod]

OK I fixed it, please update my commited.

Now you not need to move file GodotAdMob.java from "admob/android/" to "platform/android/java/src/org/godotengine/godot, please revert it.
