AdsHelper is a class that adds the following features:
- Managing the user consent with Google's User Messaging Platform: https://developers.google.com/admob/ump/android/quick-start
- App Open Ads: https://developers.google.com/admob/android/app-open-ads
It can be extended with more features.
Instructions:
1. It is important to read Google's documentation and understand the main concepts.
2 Add to manifest editor:
3. This class should be used in B4XPages projects. With some work you can use it in non-B4XPages but you will need to handle the much more complicated life cycle and split the tasks between the activity and the starter service.
4. Add to Main:
Consent
Sign up to Funding Choices and create an EU consent message: https://support.google.com/fundingchoices/answer/9180084
The logic itself is simple:
We check the consent status. If it is unknown we request new information.
If the consent status is REQUIRED and a consent form is available then we show it.
The consent status is managed by Google and is cached locally.
In order to debug it we can set a test device and set the location to be in the EU (True) or outside (False):
App Open Ads
These are ads that appear when the app has moved to the foreground. It is configured to appear if the app was more than 2 minutes in the background and then resumed.
Instructions:
1. Call Ads.FetchOpenAd once.
2.
AdsHelper class is included in the attached project.
The project will fail to run unless you set the correct app id in the manifest editor.
