B4A Library Leadbolt Ads

Hi all,

(Long post warning!)

I am going to release a new library for leadbolt.

Please use following link to register (it will help me get some referral bonusses, and it will cost you absolutely nothing):

LeadBolt Mobile Ad network- Advertise and Monetize traffic on Android and iPhones

If you thought admob was bad, and airpush was a fresh breath of air, wait till you try leadbolt!

Lets just say what I can get from leadbolt is at WORST twice what I get from admob, and at BEST so far is 6 times what I get from admob. <-- on a daily basis! (was very very close to hitting $100 in one of my days on leadbolt alone)

I am doing some fine tuning on the library and should release it within the next 24 hours.

So please show some support and love for humanity, and sign up with the link above... hehe.. you will really like the revenue generated.

LeadBolt Mobile Ad network- Advertise and Monetize traffic on Android and iPhones

To test the ads out, download one of my games, BallTapp:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.madelephantstudios.BallTapp&feature=search_result

It has admob, airpush and leadbolt in it.

On their site, they have a library for B4A built by them, that library adds the web type ads, something like what Millenial Media has. I have tried those and the returns are no fun at all.

Their push notifications are excellent, plus they arent as hated as airpush for some reason... overpublicity by airpush perhaps? LOL!

Do register your accounts with leadbolt and set up your ads for Notification (SDK) type.

Another good point about them is you will be assigned an accounts manager, who reply your mails and is contactable via IM. (unlike the unknown that is admob/google)

Questions or feedback welcome.

PS - Feedback is really appreciated as the other ad libraries I've released have had no responses if they work fine or not for others.

Hi Everyone,

I didn´t have success to put Leadbolt library on my app.

I´ve created a test app to make it work.

What i did :

1 -Download the SDK from Leadbolt website
2 - Copy the files AppFireworksB4A.jar,AppFireworksB4A.xml,LeadBoltB4A.jar,LeadBoltB4A.xml to B4A Libraries folder
3 - Create a reference on my project

My Code

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
    Dim ad As LeadBoltB4A
    Dim AppTracker As AppFireworksB4A
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
If FirstTime = True Then
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")

    ad.Initialize("MY_ID")
    'ad.loadAd()

    AppTracker.Initialize("MY_ID")
    AppTracker.startSession()
End If
End Sub

Sub appfireworks_onmodulefailed()
    LoadLeadbolt
End Sub

Sub LoadLeadbolt
    'Use this code elsewhere in your App to display a Leadbolt Ad
    'ad.Initialize("MY_ID")
    ' ad.loadAdToCache() 'Un-comment and place appropriately to cache Ad
    ad.loadAd()
End Sub

' Leadbolt ->
Sub ad_AdClicked

End Sub
Sub ad_AdClosed

End Sub
Sub ad_AdCompleted

End Sub
Sub ad_AdFailed

End Sub
Sub ad_AdLoaded

End Sub
Sub ad_AdCached

    'If ad.loadAdToCache() used, add the following line here -> ad.loadAd()

End Sub
Sub ad_AdProgress

End Sub
Sub ad_AdAlreadyCompleted

End Sub
Sub ad_AdPaused

End Sub
Sub ad_AdResumed

End Sub
'Event Listeners for Audio Ads
Sub ad_AudioAdProgress

End Sub
Sub ad_AudioAdClicked

End Sub
Sub ad_AudioAdClosed

End Sub
Sub ad_AudioAdFinished

End Sub
Sub ad_AudioAdFailed

End Sub
Sub ad_AudioAdLoaded

End Sub
Sub ad_AudioAdCached

    'If ad.loadAudioAdToCache() used, add the following line here -> ad.loadAudioAd()

End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

1º Problem - If i try to load the ads right after initialize, occurs the error.

(Line: 36) AppTracker.Initialize("4McSE7IWdZGJsmNPGPcQojOLZviCFr3M")
java.lang.NullPointerException

To Workaround i created the Sub "LoadLeadbolt" and called it from RESUME sub.

The erro does not occurs, but the ads did not appears

Thanks for any help !!!

Hi FJS,
latest Leadbolt lib is V6.5, consider to upgrade to this version, you can download the package personalized for you that contains the B4A Wrapper.
Once you are up and running this new sdk you can remove ads by adding this line:

YourAdsName.DestroyAd

In the package there is a txt file with some examples...

Merry Christmas to all the B4X community

Hi everybody,

I used leadbolt from 2years, and now there are some changes on their webside, so I have several questions:

1. Which is the lastest version of sdk?. On the webside you can see some information:
http://help.leadbolt.com/using-b4a-android/

but if you push in order to download, the zip only contine AppTracker.jar, AppTracker.xml, AppTrackerB4A.jar and AppTrackerB4A.xml files,
but where is the last version of pubiapp.jar, pubxappCom.jar, LeadboltIWrapper.jar and LeadboltXWrapper.jar ??

As pluton said: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/leadbolt-ads.12002/page-14

2. Regarding the banner ads, how can I show them in my app?.

3. Please, is it possible than anybody explain how work the different way to use the leadbolt ads? any leadbolt responsable here?

Thank you very much for your help and answers

 

[FJS]

PS: now this library gives a false positive with avast, anybody know why??, or how to solve it?

Can anyone tell if this company is good?
Generates good profits?
Has anyone had any experience with it?
Earnings etc ...?
support?


I'm trying to download the sdk and sample app from leadbold site but I'm having denid access message.
http://d8fj70cz9kmyh.cloudfront.net/dwn/B4A/leadbolt_android_sdk_b4a_v2.2-7.2.zip

Can someone tell me if this library is up to date?

thx

 

[DavideV]

Hi Douglas,
in my little experience i can say support is good and the sdk is up to date.
Profits depends on how many views your app generates (of course) . If your app generates a sufficent number of views you can access special programs and earn more (not for me).

The sdk wrapper has a little bug and can cause your app to crash, i modified it and it works fine.
Maybe you need to be registered to download the SDK ? i downloaded it as i'm registered with them.

I wish you and all the community here a Happy new Year

Hello,

To show leadbolt ads, is it necessary, that the app should be published in google.play?

Thanks

They want a link to download your app and see the ads implementation but not sure if it has to be an official store...
Better to ask them if you are registered.

Bye
