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. :(

Location of LeadboltController.jar

Where should we be placing LeadboltController.jar?

For me leadbolt walls have not performed well, appbrain is much better imho. Leadbolt notification works wonderfully though

Notification Ads

Hi Bill,

I'm trying to set up Notification adds. I've followed Leadbolts instructions for the installation, set up my account and received the application ID but I'm not getting any ads showing.

Were there any other steps you had to take?

Hi Steve,

Just to confirm, have you gotten the app approved? I am not sure if they send out test notifications.

Can you also share your B4A code here?

And finally, try adding this part in manifest before the closing of your application tag:

B4X:
<receiver android:name="com.Leadbolt.AdNotification" />

Also, there might be no inventory to send out ad (been a slow couple of days), but you're in UK i am guessing, there should be ads there.

Does "new users" count increase in your dashboard?

Cheers!
-Bill

I noticed I can not get the reoccurring notification ads to work.

I I use the Leadbolt SDK on Shiva 3d, you have to create a new Java file that runs as a service to get the reoccurring ads to work. Does this B4A lib have the reoccurring ability and I am just missing something?

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your help with this.

My app is approved and I have my Section ID.

Manifest is:

HTML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="encoded.free" android:versionCode="4" android:versionName="1.2_04_FULL" android:installLocation="internalOnly" android:anyDensity="false">
  <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />
  <supports-screens android:largeScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:smallScreens="true" android:anyDensity="true" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

  <uses-permission android:name="com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
  <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="Encoded - Full Version">
    <receiver android:name="com.Leadbolt.AdNotification" />
    <activity android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" android:launchMode="singleTop" android:name=".main" android:label="Encoded - Full Version" android:screenOrientation="portrait">
      <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
      </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" android:launchMode="singleTop" android:name=".eula" android:label="Encoded - Full Version" android:screenOrientation="portrait"></activity>
  </application>
</manifest>

My B4A code in Activity_Create is:

B4X:
   '[13] <-
   adLeadbolt.Initialize("Leadbolt")

adLeadbolt.AsynchTask = True
   
   adLeadbolt.loadLeadboltAds("MySectionID",  adLeadbolt.ADS_NOTIFICATION)
   '[13] ->

I also have the latest version of their SDK (3.03)

Hi Steve,

Your manifest and code looks fine.

Next check, in your library list, do you have both the LeadboltWrapper and LeadboltController checked?

Awhile back you asked about placing the LeadboltController.jar file. Was there a LeadboltController.xml there too? Do you see both the wrapper and controller in your library tab?

Cheers!

All four files .jar and .xml are in the additional libraries folder.

Both the wrapper and the controller are checked in the Libs tab.

Then I guess it is possible that there is no inventory for your location.

Coding and manifest wise it looks fine. Could you write to your AM about this?

:( Sorry can't help beyond this.

Thanks for taking the time.

I have already raised the issue with my AM. They are looking into things from their side. I just wanted to be sure I hadn't missed anything obvious!

LeadBolt do seem interested in you as a developer and their response to emails is excellent.

Hi splatt
One thing that might be interesting. You just need Internet, network state and read phone state for notification ads. If you request all those permissions a big number of users will vote poorly or not install although the more info the ad company gets might get you a better aim and better clickthrough.
Just an idea.
Cheers
