B4A Library MoPub Ad Server Library (Updated to v4.6.1 , 29 May 2016) - 20+ ad networks (AdMob , etc.)

base64 · Aug 30, 2014

Hello,
I've spent hours trying to make Vungle work.

I have a Custom Native Full Screen Ad on MoPub that supposedly links to my Vungle, and the way I set it up was:

Leaving Custom Event empty (as I did not see anything on the PDF guide on this)
Put "com.mopub.mobileads.VungleInterstitial" on Custom Event Class box
And, put "com.myapppackagename" on Custom Event Class Data box (I have also tried using the Reporting API ID instead of the App ID)

Everything in MoPub.xml and my manifest file have been set up according to what's in the guide PDF, including adding a write to external storage permission to the manifest.

I have the following in Activity_Create:

B4X:

ads.InitializeMopub_Banner("banner","")
ads.InitializeMopub_Interstitial("interstitial","xxxx")  ' where xxxx is my interstitial ID from MoPub
ads.PreloadMopub_Interstitial

and this:

B4X:

Sub interstitial_mopub_interstitial_loaded
    LogColor("Interstitial Loaded",Colors.Blue)
End Sub

Never gets called.

No error messages or anything in logs.

What am I missing or doing wrong here?

Hi Base64
Please use guide to setup Vungle (Page 13)
All networks are tested manually by me.

Hello,
Thank you for the quick response!
I followed through that part of the guide when setting up my MoPub with Vungle, but it still doesn't work.
The sub interstitial_mopub_interstitial_loaded never gets called (and yes, I called PreloadMopub_Interstitial).

What else I could be missing or doing wrong?

Disable filter check in LogCat logs. Also make shure that Vungle is first network for your ad and you can disable Marketplace for testing purposes. In LogCat without filter checked you will see all info about loading ads.

So, it appears that I get this in the log:

The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value. Expected 5077000 but found 5089000. You must have the following declaration within the <application> element: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

although I already have that declaration in my manifest file (inside AddApplicationText(...)).

Which causes an IllegalStateException (the following is the next line in the log):

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value. Expected 5077000 but found 5089000. You must have the following declaration within the <application> element: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

How do I fix this?

I also get:

Unable to obtain AdvertisingIdClient.getAdvertisingIdInfo()

Is this a problem as well or it doesn't matter?

And here's the contents of my manifest file:

It seems that Google Play Services are not properly integrated into application so Vungle can't obtain advertising ID. In MoPub Library I had 18 version of Goole Play Services (resource and jar). In your case it seems that you have updated your Google Play Services to 19 version but my Google Play Services jar is 18 version so it is not the same. Copy jar from here: YOUR_PATH_TO_ANDROID_SDK\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\libs to your B4A additional libraries folder . It must work.

Hi, I’m having a lot of trouble getting Interstitial Ads working.

I get -

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.support.v4.content.LocalBroadcastManager
at com.mopub.mobileads.EventForwardingBroadcastReceiver.register(EventForwardingBroadcastReceiver.java:113)

I suspect it is due to the Google Play Services which is currently at version 22. I use Google Maps APi v2.0, which uses Google play, so I am confident that this is entered correctly. I have also copied it into my B4A additional libraries folder (as per previous entry).

Any help appreciated,
Thanks

Yeah - I think you need to use an earlier version of Google Play Services. Maybe try 18? I think I'm using 14, but that's because I'm using an old Play Services wrapper.

i replaced my google-play-services_lib with b4a folder . no luck.

I use now admob in my apps and this lbirary look indeed better to support video adds from addmob.

But is there a tutorial how to use this library in combination with Admob/admob video tutorials ?

MaxApps · Aug 16, 2015

Can I use this without Google Play Service? (I have been banned from Google)

Hi MaxApps
Google Play Services are used to pass Google Advertising ID that is using instead old Android ID.
Since August 1, 2014 all apps must use new Google Advertising ID, so I think just any ad network is using it (MoPub also, but it must depend on network you are using through MoPub), there are some networks that don't use it.
Also for more info look here.
Anyway I don't see a problem using Google Play Services even though you have been banned by Google because it is not associated with your account, it is anonymous user's identifier, who uses your application.

Regards
John

Hi Everyone,

I get Banner Failed and also Interstitial Failed when tapping the Show Banner and Preload Interstitial buttons from the sample test app.

I also registered with mopub in the US and tried the same thing with the ad unit id in admob_test and admob_banner and still got the same error message.

Here is the coding I used:

B4X:

#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: MoPub TEST
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName: 1.0
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
    #SupportedOrientations: unspecified
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
    #AdditionalRes: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms
#End Region

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: True
#End Region

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
    Dim ads As MopubAds
  
    Dim btnShowBanner As Button
    Dim btnDestroyBanner As Button
  
    Dim btnPreload As Button
    Dim btnShow As Button
  
    Dim LogLabel As Label
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout ("main")
    ads.AdMob_Test("")
    ads.InitializeMopub_Banner("banner","")
    ads.InitializeMopub_Interstitial ("interstitial","")
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume
  
End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)
  
End Sub

'Banners Buttons
Sub btnShowBanner_Click
    LogLabel.Text = ""
    ads.RemoveView
    Activity.AddView (ads,0,0,320dip,50dip)
    ads.LoadMopub_Banner
End Sub

Sub btnDestroyBanner_Click
    ads.RemoveView
End Sub

'Interstitials Buttons
Sub btnPreload_Click
    LogLabel.Text = ""
    ads.PreloadMopub_Interstitial
End Sub

Sub btnShow_Click
    ads.ShowMopub_Interstitial
End Sub

'Banners Listener methodes
Sub banner_mopub_banner_clicked
    LogColor("Banner Clicked",Colors.Green)
End Sub

Sub banner_mopub_banner_collapsed
    LogColor("Banner Collapsed",Colors.Green)
End Sub

Sub banner_mopub_banner_expanded
    LogColor("Banner Expanded",Colors.Green)
End Sub

Sub banner_mopub_banner_failed
    LogColor("Banner Failed",Colors.Green)
    LogLabel.Text = "Banner Failed"
End Sub

Sub banner_mopub_banner_loaded
    LogColor("Banner Loaded",Colors.Green)
    LogLabel.Text = "Banner Loaded"
End Sub

'Interstitials Listener methodes
Sub interstitial_mopub_interstitial_clicked
    LogColor("Interstitial Clicked",Colors.Blue)
End Sub

Sub interstitial_mopub_interstitial_dismissed
    LogColor("Interstitial Dismissed",Colors.Blue)
End Sub

Sub interstitial_mopub_interstitial_failed
    LogColor("Interstitial Failed",Colors.Blue)
    LogLabel.Text = "Interstitial Failed"
End Sub

Sub interstitial_mopub_interstitial_loaded
    LogColor("Interstitial Loaded",Colors.Blue)
    LogLabel.Text = "Interstitial Loaded"
End Sub

Sub interstitial_mopub_interstitial_shown
    LogColor("Interstitial Shown",Colors.Blue)
End Sub

What am I missing?

Thanks.

Yes, but would be nice if someone could update to their latest sdk...(that has support for android M too)

tufanv · Oct 8, 2015

I cant get chartboost interstitial via mpub. I get interstitial filed under logs. I added additionaljar and edited the manifest but still cant get it.

Jack Cole · Nov 8, 2015

It would indeed be great if we could get an update to the latest SDK. I stopped using the current mopub library because of bugs.
