B4i Library iAdMob

Latest version: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/firebase-admob-v3-00.144798/#content

iAdMob v1.10 adds support for interstitial ads (full screen ads).

In order to show an interstitial ad you need to first request an ad and wait for the Ready event.
If Success is true then there is an ad ready to be displayed. You can then call iad.Show(Page) to show it.
You can also call iad.RequestAd again to request a new ad.

Note that you can show test ads by calling:

iad.SetTestDevices(Array("121212121212")) 'id that is displayed in the logs

The ready event:

Sub iad_Ready (Success As Boolean)
   If Success Then
     Log("iad is ready.")
     iad.Show(Page1)
   Else
     Log("Failed to load full screen ad: " & LastException)
   End If
End Sub

Note that you can show the ad after this event. This event only means that there is an ad ready to be displayed.

Library installation

iAdMob is an internal library now. It is preinstalled with the IDE.

If you are using a local Mac builder you need to download the new SDK and copy GoogleMobileAds.framework to the Libs folder: www.b4x.com/b4i/files/libGoogleAdMobAds.a.zip

Update:

Starting from Google Maps Ads SDK v7.42.0 it is required to add these lines:

#PlistExtra: <key>GADIsAdManagerApp</key><true/>
#AdditionalLib: libsqlite3.dylib
#AdditionalLib: libz.dylib
#AdditionalLib: WebKit.framework

Please update to v1.32: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/updates-to-internal-libraries.48179/page-3#post-422773

Thank Erel, it works again.

@Erel ,

Can we stop the refresh of a banner view?

I don't see .pause or .resume like in the android lib.

 

[Erel]

Try this:

Dim no As NativeObject = AdView1
no.SetField("autoloadEnabled", False)

 

[sorex]

Thanks, I will give it a try when I get home.

I'm unable to compile app with latest version of AdMob SDK (v7.9.1), using iAdMob lib v1.32

Use the attached h file. The updated file will also be included in v2.80 Mac builder.

 

[Jack Cole]

Use the attached h file. The updated file will also be included in v2.80 Mac builder.

Hi Erel,
I am trying to use Admob SDK v7.9.1 and the iAdmob Lib v1.32. I also downloaded the h file and copied it to the internal libraries folder.

I get the following error. I'm using the remote builder. Any ideas?

/Users/administrator/Documents/Libs/iAdMob.h:3:9: fatal error: module 'GoogleMobileAds' not found
@import GoogleMobileAds;

[Erel]

Are you using a local builder?

Have you copied GoogleMobileAds.framework to the Libs folder?

 

[Jack Cole]

Are you using a local builder?

Have you copied GoogleMobileAds.framework to the Libs folder?

I am using the remote builder. Yes, I copied GoogleMobileAds.framework to the Libs folder. The first time I did it, I left the old version in place. When that didn't work, I deleted the old folder and re-copied it.

 

[Erel]

Do you use your own Mac computer or the hosted builder?

 

[Jack Cole]

Do you use your own Mac computer or the hosted builder?

I use the hosted builder.

 

[Erel]

I use the hosted builder.

The framework and the h file are not relevant in this case.

It works fine here.
Are you using B4i v2.80?

 

[Jack Cole]

The framework and the h file are not relevant in this case.

It works fine here.
Are you using B4i v2.80?

Yes, I am using v2.80

 

[Erel]

The version of iAdMob included with B4i 2.80 is 1.33. Maybe you have copied an older version to the internal libraries folder?

 

[Jack Cole]

The version of iAdMob included with B4i 2.80 is 1.33. Maybe you have copied an older version to the internal libraries folder?

I did copy the 1.32 over it. Just now, I reinstalled b4i. I verified that the version is 1.33 of iAdmob. I get the same error. I have included the full error below in case it might help.

Please try it again now. It will probably work.

Perfect! Yes it is working now. Thank you for fixing the problem.

 

[tucano2000]

Here in Local Mac Builder iAdmob 1.40 don't works with a new version of GoogleMobileAds.framework 7.12.0 and I saw here to use 7.11.0.

Look this:

https://firebase.google.com/docs/admob/release-notes?hl=de#ios

I'm not found the SDK 7.11.0 to download.
