Android Question FirebaseAdMob 1.60 - MobileAds

[LucaMs]

My test app (just ads "stuff") crashes always.
AdMob app ID is correct.

I'm using B4A V. 8.80; is FirebaseAdMob 1.60 compatible with this version?

(tried with android 28 & 29)

although I receive error 3 instead of advertising.

Please start a new thread for a new Issue

addition

If you want to use targetsdk 29 then you need to add SDK29 with the b4asdkmanager first.

Scroll down to Android-29->"Android SDK Platform 29 (Android 29)" <-- Install it

Yes, I installed 29 before having b4a 9.50 and using the old google's manager.

Have to study that .bat, removing some things and use the b4a sdk manager.

Thank you, @DonManfred

no need to remove anything here. At least i did not touched the bat at all...

ok, may be don't changing the bat, but uninstalling stuff installed by google's manager (mainly the 29 sdk) and reinstalling it using the B4A's manager.

Thank you.

i suggest to completely remove the sdk-folder installed by the old sdkmanager (the one in your userdata) and only use the one installed with the B4ASDKManager.
Never is the old manager anymore. It is no longer compatible with the newest SDK

I'm not sure that the old stuff installed by the old manager is under userdata. Indeed, the opposite, because when I installed the SDK 29 using it, it tried to do it in C:, does'nt allow me to do it (permissions I think, strangely) so I installed it in the userdata.

Are you sure that the b4a manager installs all in c:\xxx?

 

[DonManfred]

Your decision. Away from the fact that it uses some GB of HDD-Space there is no harm in not removing them.

The point is that you are NOW using the correct sdkmanager and the correct SDK in B4A (No crashes)

 

[LucaMs]

No more crashes!

although I receive error 3 instead of advertising.

Now I know the reason for that persistent "error 3": I became unpleasant even to Google!
