Using AdMob with Games that use Open GLES
- by Vishal Kumar
Can anyone help me integrating Admob to my game. I've used the badlogic framework by MarioZencher ... and My game is like the SuperJumper. I am unable to use AdMob after a lot of my attempts. I am new to android dev...please help me..I went thru a number of tutorials but not getting adds displayed ...
I did the following...
get the libraries and placed them properly
My main.xml looks like this
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello"
/
My Activity class onCreate method:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
RelativeLayout layout = new RelativeLayout(this);
adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, "a1518637fe542a2");
AdRequest request = new AdRequest();
request.addTestDevice(AdRequest.TEST_EMULATOR);
request.addTestDevice("D77E32324019F80A2CECEAAAAAAAAA");
adView.loadAd(request);
layout.addView(glView);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams adParams =
new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
adParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
adParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT);
layout.addView(adView, adParams);
setContentView(layout);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
glView = new GLSurfaceView(this);
glView.setRenderer(this);
//setContentView(glView);
glGraphics = new GLGraphics(glView);
fileIO = new AndroidFileIO(getAssets());
audio = new AndroidAudio(this);
input = new AndroidInput(this, glView, 1, 1);
PowerManager powerManager = (PowerManager) getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
wakeLock = powerManager.newWakeLock(PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK, "GLGame");
}
My Manifest file looks like this ....
<activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|smallestScreenSize"/>
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
When I first decided to use the XML for admob purpose ..it showed no changes..it even didn't log the device id in Logcat...
Later when I wrote code in the Main Activity class.. and run ...
Application crashed ... with 7 errors evry time ...
The android:configChanges value of the com.google.ads.AdActivity must include screenLayout.
The android:configChanges value of the com.google.ads.AdActivity must include uiMode.
The android:configChanges value of the com.google.ads.AdActivity must include screenSize.
The android:configChanges value of the com.google.ads.AdActivity must include smallestScreenSize.
You must have AdActivity declared in AndroidManifest.xml with configChanges.
You must have INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions in AndroidManifest.xml.
Please help me by telling what wrong is there with the code?
Can I write code only in xml files without changing the Activity class ...
I will be very grateful to anyone providing support.
