Android Question [Solved] How to mute the sound of ads using this code?

[asales]

In this link:

Global Settings | Android | Google for Developers

developers.google.com

I have this code to mute the sound of ads:

MobileAds.setAppMuted(true);

How I can made this in B4A, because I saw only the method Initialize in MobileAds?

Thanks in advance for any tip.

You may try something like this:

'Dim MobileAds As MobileAds
'MobileAds.Initialize
Dim volume As Float = 0.5
Dim jo As JavaObject
jo.InitializeStatic("com.google.android.gms.ads.MobileAds")
jo.RunMethod("setAppVolume", Array(volume))

or

Dim mute As Boolean = True
Dim jo As JavaObject
jo.InitializeStatic("com.google.android.gms.ads.MobileAds")
jo.RunMethod("setAppMuted", Array(mute))

Thanks. It works, but this code:

Dim MobileAds As MobileAds
MobileAds.Initialize

initialize the mobile ads with the "Admob App ID" in the manifest.

There is no problem if I use several RunMethod? I can use like this?

jo.RunMethod("initialize", Array(ctxt, "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713"))  'Sample ID
jo.RunMethod("setAppVolume", Array(volume))
jo.RunMethod("setAppMuted", Array(mute))

or I can initialize the MobileAds and initialize another JavaObject to set the AppMuted?

Dim MobileAds As MobileAds
MobileAds.Initialize

Dim MobileAds2 As JavaObject
MobileAds2.InitializeStatic("com.google.android.gms.ads.MobileAds")
MobileAds2.RunMethod("setAppMuted", Array(True))

It is a static method so it is not tied to any specific object. Pendrush code is correct.

It is a static method so it is not tied to any specific object. Pendrush code is correct.

So, If I put the Admob App ID in the manifest and use this code:

jo.InitializeStatic("com.google.android.gms.ads.MobileAds")

I don't need this code:

jo.RunMethod("initialize", Array(ctxt, "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713"))

Correct?

You need to initialize it as explained here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/firebaseadmob-v1-6.108552/

You don't need to call initialize with JavaObject.

I'm a little bit confused. So, my final code will be this (in Starter):

Dim MobileAds As MobileAds
MobileAds.Initialize

Dim mute As Boolean = True
Dim jo As JavaObject
jo.InitializeStatic("com.google.android.gms.ads.MobileAds")
jo.RunMethod("setAppMuted", Array(mute))
