Hi folks,

I've been playing around with the other monetizing options for B4A.

I've been trying Millenial media and mobfox libraries. MobFox one seems to work for me.

I have attached the libraries here for testing, hope can get some feedback from all of you.

If you don't have a mobfox id, please use the following link to register :D (it will give me some commision at no expense to you, cheers!)

MobFox | Mobile Advertising. Simplified.

I will try to work on the millenial media libs too.

Advantage of mobfox include higher ecpm (dont every ad agency say the same thing? LOL!), having option for backfill ads from admob and inmobi.

You will need your app to be approved by mobfox before you can start displaying ads (which could take up to 24h).

Now the works....

In the manifest file, add the following:

B4X: 
        <activity android:name="com.mobfox.sdk.InAppWebView"/>

Permissions:

B4X: 
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

Code:
B4X: 
Sub Globals
   Dim m As MFAdViewX
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   m.Initialize("mm", appid) 'appid -> your app id from mobfox
   Activity.AddView(m, 0, 0, 320dip, 50dip)
End Sub

Sub mm_FailedToReceiveAd (ErrorCode As String)
   Msgbox(ErrorCode, "Error")
End Sub

Sub mm_ReceiveAd
   Msgbox("got it...", "yay")
End Sub

The two events are not showing up in the intellisense of the ide for now, still working on cleaning up the library. But they work.

You will need to download the library from mobfox site.

Then add the attached libraries to your extra libraries folder.

Hope the above is clear, and hope you all have success with it too.

PS - Patience please, first library wrapper... :D

Cheers!

Well, from what they advertise, they have it up to 300% more than admob. But from reading other blogs, it is pretty much the same as admob.

They do have this interesting feature, ecpmcontrol. With this you can choose to show ads that will give you a certain amount per click, for example, you could set it to show only ads that will give you $0.10 per click.

Cheers!

Thanks for this!! I'm bored about low earnings with Admob. I've been looking for some info about MobFox and it seems better. Only two notes:
  • We currently pay publishers via PayPal or International Wire / Bank Transfer within 60 days after the end of the month.
  • Publisher earnings over/equal to $50 will be made to your account. If you do not reach this amount in any given month, your balance will simply be carried over to the next month(s).

Yeah, admob has similar policies, payout at $20. Hmm, suddenly am tempted to try the airpush sdk too :D

If you try the mobfox libs out, please let me know if it works. Also remember to mark your manifest file as read only or project>do not overwrite otherwise your changes for the ad will go missing.

cheers!

Thanks ssg :sign0188:

In the meantime, I have registered myself with MobFox using the link you provided. Once I receive the PubID, I will start trying it out.

Thank you for the support moster67. I wish you lotsa success!!! kekeke...

Hmm, after 1 day of trying this library, I see a very bad revenue amount compared to admob. Maybe there will be better ads once the app requests more ads... we'll see....

I've been taking a look of this. MM is really powerful, Video Ads, Ads in bar... but the most important thing is revenue amount. After been looking for this in Internet I've found nothing. Any idea?

I added mobfox as instructed in the thread, but I see nothing in my app (no add or box where the ad should appear). did I do something wrong?

Hi,

Would you be able to create an empty project with just the mobfox code added in?

Then export it and attach the sample here with the manifest file.

Will be easier to see that way.

Cheers!
