Admob Unity Package that work with Unity 3.2 above

This thread is the brother thread of my previous Admob thread.



A NEW INDEPENDENT PLUGIN WITH NEW FEATURES..

Hi Guys, After putting a lots of effort in rewriting code for Admob integration with Unity, i have something for you all with some new features bug fixes..

Please Read full tutorial before start. otherwise you might miss some important instructions. Good Luck

Now its not just basic, i advanced it with some more control over Admob.

Version History
Last Update: September'03, 2014

• Version 3.1.2

Fixed incorrect function callback from plugin
Fixed Adv Show() & Hide() functions were working opposite.
Added IsLoaded for InterstitialAd, check whether InterstitialAd Loaded (after calling Load()).

• Version 3.1

Fixed: Random crashes, while receiving Ads.​

• Version 3.0 (Added: September'08, 2014

Added Interstitial Ads
Re-written most of modules.​

• Version 2.0 (Added: March'03,2013)
  Updated to Admob SDK: 6.3.0
  Fixed NoAnimation bug

Legacy Admob Project(Not supported): Download Here . (Recommended download latest version below)
Legacy Admob UnityPackage(Not supported): Download Here (Recommended download latest version below)​

• Version 1.0 (Not supported): Initial version (Recommended download latest version below)
  Download from Here

FEATURES:

• Support Banner & Interstitial Ads.
• Support Multiple Ads on same screen.
• Support Multiple Ad Unit IDs. Set different AdUnitID for different Ad Containers.
• Support 4 Animations on Ad container so that they appear or disappear smoothly on Receiving new Ad.
• Change Position of Ad container at runtime.
  
• Control visibility of Ad container.
• No Need to manually maintain AdmobPlugin Scene assets. Its automated in plugin itself.

UPCOMING FEATURES:
1. Editor UI to create Ad & assign properties which would reduce your 5mins to write Code.
2. You tell me what you need more.

Here is the basic AdMob package implementation that works with almost every Unity Version greater then(i tested on 3.2, 3.3, 3,4, 3.5 4.0)
The older method, i found in Unity Forums is no more working have some issue with Setup environment, ANT Android SDK version eclipse.



What you need to implement?
JUST Unity with android SDK ....

Before Upgrading:
From v2.x to 3.x: AdmobPlugin v3.0 is not an extended version of v2.0. I have re-coded it again. Function call from v2.0 won't work with new AdmobPlugin v3.0. But new version have lots of new features & more control over Ads.

Integration Steps:
1. Download & import Admob UnityPackage. DONE

First Setup after Importing: Setup Admob properties:
In Project hierarchy, Goto Resources folder, you should see "AdmobSettings.asset". Its settings from where Admob plugin read values:
1. AdUnitID: Specify your common Admob unit ID in this format: ca-app-pub-41924874559xxxxx/61314xxxxxx .. This AdUnitID will get use for every Ad in Game/App
2. IsTesting: Check On this while your are testing your Game/App
3. TestDeviceID: Give your test device Id. How to Get your test device ID? See this and this
4. LevelOfDebug: use this to get logs from AdmobPlugin. Recommending to use "Low" or "None" while shipping Game/App to prevent lots to logs from Game/App.

• None: you wont get any log from admob plugin,
• LOW: You will get minimal required logs,
• HIGH: You will get some more logs.
• FLOOD: You will get flood of logs in your device logcat. Please test your Admob content on this Value

NOTE: If AdmobSettings.asset gets lost/corrupted, then you can generate a new one from Windows->Create Admob Settings


You can use/call below functions from anywhere of your code.
<Ad_Identifier> could be any string different from other Ad IDs

BANNER AD:---------------------------------------------------
Create Simple Banner Ad:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. BannerAd l_bannerAd = AdmobManager.Prepare<BannerAd>("<Ad_Identifier>");   //OR     AdmobManager.PrepareBannerAd("<Ad_Identifier>");
3. l_bannerAd.Create();
4.  

Start Requesting for Ad:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. BannerAd l_bannerAd = AdmobManager.Get<BannerAd>("<Ad_Identifier>");
3. l_bannerAd.Load();
4.  

OR

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. AdmobManager.Load("<Ad_Identifier>"));
3.  

Change Default Properties(Animation In/Out Type, Ad Position, Orientation, etc) of Ad:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. BannerAd l_bannerAd = AdmobManager.Get<BannerAd>("<Ad_Identifier>");
3. l_bannerAd.BannerType = EBannerAdType.SMART_BANNER;
4. l_bannerAd.Orientation = EOrientation.HORIZONTAL;
5. l_bannerAd.AnimInType = EAnimationInType.FADE_IN;
6. l_bannerAd.AnimOutType = EAnimationOutType.SLIDE_OUT_RIGHT;
7. l_bannerAd.SetPosition(EPosition.CENTER_HORIZONTAL, EPosition.BOTTOM);
8.  

RemoveAd:
1. RemoveAd(Upcoming version):
2. RemoveAdImmediately:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. AdmobManager.RemoveAdImmediately(""<Ad_Identifier>"");
3.  

Hide/Show Banner Ad:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. AdmobManager.ShowBanner("<Ad_Identifier>");
3. AdmobManager.HideBanner("<Ad_Identifier>");
4.  

Change AdPosition at Runtime:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. BannerAd l_bannerAd = AdmobManager.Get<BannerAd>(""<Ad_Identifier>"");
3. l_bannerAd.Reposition(EPosition.TOP, EPosition.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
4.  

INTERSTITIAL AD:---------------------------------------------------
Create Ad:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. InterstitialAd l_interAd = AdmobManager.Prepare<InterstitialAd>("<Ad_Identifier>");   //OR     AdmobManager.PrepareInterstitialAd("<Ad_Identifier>");
3. l_interAd.Create();
4.  

Start Requesting for Ad:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. InterstitialAd l_interAd = AdmobManager.Get<InterstitialAd>("<Ad_Identifier>");
3. l_interAd.Load();
4. OR
5. AdmobManager.Load("<Ad_Identifier>"));
6.  

Show Ad:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. AdmobManager.ShowInterstitial("<Ad_Identifier>");
3. OR
4. InterstitialAd l_interAd = AdmobManager.Get<InterstitialAd>("<Ad_Identifier>");
5. if(l_interAd.IsLoaded)  //Check whether Ad received from Google Admob server.
6. {
7.      l_interAd.Show();
8. }
9.  

For Advanced users:-------------------------------------------
Advanced: Get callback events from Admob plugin:
Admob plugin supports 5 events for both BannerAd and InterstitialAd:
1. OnAdOpened,
2. OnAdLeftApplication,
3. OnAdClosed,
4. OnAdLoaded,
5. OnAdFailedToLoad //return ErrorCode as parameter

All of above events returns ID, which triggered Event. You can receive and process your game event on the basis of Admob callback events. I am using Delegates to give callbacks:
To register function to both BannerAd & InterstitialAd:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. BannerAd l_bannerAd = AdmobManager.Create<BannerAd>("Banner_1");
3. l_bannerAd.OnAdLoaded += MyCustom_OnAdLoadedEvent;
4.  

Callback Function:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. void MyCustom_OnAdLoadedEvent()
3. {
4. ........
5. ........
6. ........
7. }
8.  

After you Create & Load Ad, whenever Admob plugin receives Ad, MyCustom_OnAdLoadedEvent() will get called. You can register for all 5 events.


Advanced: Use Different AdUnitID for different Ad:
Yes, you can use one AdUnitID for BannerAd and Second AdUnitID for InterstitialAd. Follow this:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. BannerAd l_bannerAd = AdmobManager.Get<BannerAd>("<Ad_Identifier>");
3. l_bannerAd.AdUnitId = "<different_AdUnitID>";
4.  

NOTE:
1. Assign AdUnitID to individual BannerAd/InterstitialAd only works while creating Ad.
2. Do not use '^' Caret Sign in Ad_Identifier name.
3. Do not change the location of "AdmobSettings.asset" from Resources. Otherwise, Admob plugin won't be able initialize settings.

See "AdmobTestUI" for more detail of how to control Admob Plugin.


I have also uploaded APK, please test Ads on your device first using this APK, to check whether you can receive Ads in your device.


IMPORTANT:
If you are planning to use with another plugin, then in AndroidManifest.xml change value key in below line to True. By default its set to False
<meta-data android:name="unityplayer.ForwardNativeEventsToDalvik" android:value="true" /> .

If nothing happens on Adv click, then use above changes in AndroidManifest.xml


HAPPY GAMING..

Thankx for using this plugin.

If you like this plugin for Free, i would need a space in Credits in your game, with name "Satbir Singh (CodeName: MicroEyes)", if possible.

DOWNLOADS:
AdmobPlugin_v3.1.2____Unity_4.5.4.unitypackage (2,953 KB)
Download from Google Play

The Unity package was exported from Unity 4.5.4 but plugin should work on all versions Unity 4 cycle, starting Unity 4.0.

 

can't download any

 

@LiefLayer
But here both are working downloadable.
What problem are you facing?

 

I can't download any attach here too.
Not in IE, not in Chrome.

Previous thread provides download normal.
I just started to see it. Seems it is cool!
Thank you!

 

Thank you very much for providing this. I will be testing it in the next week or two and let you know if I have any problems.

I cannot download TestBuild.zip. The error message I get is, "Download permission denied by uploader."

 

Nice! Plugin is working!

I has some questions:
1) How I may changing between position(pos1 and pos2)? Position 2 display by default. I want to display TOP-banner in MAINMENU, and CENTER-banner in RESULT WINDOW.
2) How to make refresh Adv? I need use DisableAds(); and then EnableAds(); to refresh this?? Because if there will always be one banner, the chance to click decreases
3) Can I upload ads in advance through EnableAds(), but showing it later, after call ShowAds(); ?

p.s. while testing my game is freezing once or twice. I am not sure that this is for advertising. I will look at logcat.

 

EDIT. Now works LOL strange

but the Test app is offline (or maybe you finish your uploader band limit of 1 GB)
https://rapidshare.com/files/2385906636/TestBuild.zip

if you can reupload it on an other site like mediafire or the new mega.

Anyway Thank you a lot it works I've try and it's very easy

 

Imma try it out Thank you

 

Hi Nolex,
1. There is a prefab in Unity package named "AdvertisementManager". Drag it to Scene change properties from inspector. By default its Set to HORZONTAL || BOTTOM. Just choose yours.

2. You dont need to make manual refresh. Its Google admob SDK's job is to change advertisements repeatedly. To cross check please see logs. You should see log starts with "Received Ads.............." with tag Admob.
I have given DisableAds() EnableAds() just to switch on or off ads on some condition. not for refreshing ads.

3. Sorry, but i am not getting this point.

If you got any issues with this plugin, no worries.... just post or PM me logs.


Thanks for your interest feedback.

 

TestApp link Fixed.

 

Thanks MicroEyes. I just published my game with your old package (it's working fine tought): http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/173490-Weed-Wars-Episode-1?p=1186979#post1186979

I'll update with your new package this week and let you know. By the way, thanks for your work, this saved me some time If i can help you with anything .... (i have some good java/jni/unity knowledge).

 

In unity project we have to use ur plugin pkg name "com.microeyes.admob" or we can use our own pkg name???

 

Hi Jawad,
We do need to give a package name before i cook code from Java we can't change package name after cooking. I made this package so i gave it my name.

 

Thanks for answers!! But in the first question I asked about another...
How do I switch between positions in runtime?

Example:

Code (csharp):

1. void OnLoadLevel() {
2.     if (level == "main_menu") {
3.      Show_Adv_Bottom_Of_Screen();
4.    } else if (level == "results_window") {
5.      Show_Adv_Top_Of_Screen();
6.   }
7. }

How to do this?

 

Great plugin! testing it and working smooth.

I have a doubt although, been testing in a Kindle Fire, is there a way to press the ad and go to the link but keep the game running on background?
When I click the link and then press back to return to the app, it restarts it completely, loosing any ingame progress.

 

Nolex, There was a provision to change position programatically in previous version. but that thing isn't implemented in this version. It'll take some time to do. I'll look for some time to add complete more features. i have a list of them. But it ll be there in next version.

Thanks for your interest.

 

Hi vladimirdlc,
This is not plugin's issue. When you put any application background run any other process that need more device RAM, then Android device close background apps games. It happens with almost every game. You can try with other apps games.

 

Can u make a tutorial on how we can make our own admob plugin??

 

True, I did not know that.

Now working great, the release of our game will be made soon, I will be sure of reference you in the credits and post the link here to our game

PD: Which name should we put in the credits btw, MicroEyes is ok or you would prefer another?

 

Sometimes when Enable();("Enabling ADMOB") the banner is not loaded and it then affects the friezes.

In 1 case out of 10, Enabling does not work - no response comes from admob a banner-link to the advertisement.
The recall Enable(); does not help! Is there a way to send Unity callback that Enabling crashed?

Can't download the Attachments.
I wonder if it is some bug in the forum.
When I click the link, I am redirected to a 1x1 gif file.

Edit: Never mind, I tried in another computer and it worked...

 

I'm getting the following errors when I run my app:



Using Unity 4.1.0f4, any idea what it can be?

----------------

Nevermind, I'm an idiot. It works, just had to run it on my tablet not the editor. doh!

 

Hi, great job with the plugin. I am currently testing this for the game that I am making.
One question though -> How can I remove the enable, disable and show/hide buttons?

Never mind, I got it...Still in the learning phase of Unity

 

when we have to publish our game, Should we false the IsTrue boolean or it remains true???

 

Hi Jawad,
Where is isTrue boolean? There is only one boolean present for isTesting. You can uncheck it, when not in testing mode. but it wont affect debug log because logs are being controlled by LevelOfDebug Enum.

 

Yes isTesting...is it effect our earnings with admob??

 

Not at all. while isTesting is true, you'll get test ads from Admob server, so due to debug process your eCPM wont get affect(reduce, due to request from same device everytime, Admob server is smart enough).... Keep isTesting FALSE when you finished you game debugging.

 

ok thnx alot dear....

 

No Problems... man..

 

Hi MicroEyes,

Thank you for your plugin, it's really nice that you decided to publish it for free. Everything works great but I have small problem with displaying IAB Leaderboard ad. It will have resolution 728x90 but on my Nexus 7 it is too big (about 900x130px). What I should do?

Thanks for your time

 

Hi DeepWave,
Please try using SMART_BANNER. Give me your feedback.

 

OK, I made some tests on my devices (Nexus 7 and LG P990). First of all, I have to say that i did factory reset on these devices: my Nexus 7 has stock firmware and my LG P990 has CyanogenMod 10. Ob both there is Android 4.2.2. There are results of my tests:

1. When I use IAB_LEADERBOARD ad (it should have resolution 728x90), I have ads with following resolutions:
Nexus 7: about 900x130 px
LG P990: don't showing

2. When I use IAB_BANNER:
Nexus 7: 620x75 px
LG P990: 728x90 px

3. When I use BANNER:
Nexus7: 430x70 px
LG P990: 480x75 px

4. When I use SMART_BANNER (this solution isn't the best for me because my app display only text ads):
Nexus7: 1280x70 px or 730x70 px (only text ads I see ;/)
LG P990: 800x55 px (only text)

Everything looks like that every ad is scalling up to higher. I also see that ads aren't so sharp (there is a big blur on non-text ads), so maybe there is a problem.

Sorry for my bad english, today I have a big headache ;/

 

Thanks MicroEyes.
Today I have made also a free version of my game FreeAllRabbits with your plugin. The referring URL will be
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...eeAllRabbitsVFree&feature=search_result&hl=en

I have used the latest Admob SDK "GoogleAdMobAdsSdkAndroid-6.3.1" and it seems to work so far.

Please put me on your update list........

 

Would love updates here too please Excellent

 

Hi DeepWave,
I have two more suggestions...
1. Download test app(apk) test project(unity project) from first page. deploy build from them.
2. From device Logs, whenever Admob package request ads from server, it logs size of ads. please check for it too. Log comes under Tag: "Admob" (without quotes) text should be start with "Requesting ad ....... "


Please let me know, if you get something...

 

OK, I download Unity Admob project and compile it but the problem wasn't solved. The ad (I have made only one tests with IAB Leaderboard) takes too big part of the screen. Then, I can calculate it's resolution and it is like in my previous post. It looks like that my devices have bigger DPI than normal but on the other hand it's so crazy conclusion. Every ad I used is scale up - it's really interesting behaviour...

Tomorrow I can update my SDK but I think there won't be a change because I installed it two months ago.

 

Hi, after some testing I have detected that the height of the smart banner seems to be different on devices with different screen resolution. I'm using the banner on the top of a landscape screen and need to know the height of the banner in order to set the right position-height for my following title bar.

Is there a chance to get always the current height of the smart banner and if so how will it work?

Thanks in advance!

 

Ok, MicroEyes, my wrong. I was today looking for any information about scaling ads on Android platform. And I know now that Admob ads haven't got constant resolution (like 320x50 px). However, the fact how big is ad is dependent on device's resolution. So, to sum up, I'm sorry that I waste your time and big thanks for your patience

Robert1000, yeach, Smart Banner will have different sizes on devices with various resolutions. Here you are a list with resolutions which will have the Smart Banner dependent on situation: https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/smart-banners

 

Deep Wave, thanks for your Info, but I'm not sure if that table will really true for all conditions.. So what height will the banner has on a android table with 1024 x 600? I have tested it on a galaxy 7" tab and it seems that the height will be not 90 pix and also not 50. Maybe there is a function in the SDK which will provide the current height - but I haven't seen something like this....:-(

 

Hi Robert,
Yes you can see. From device Logs, whenever Admob package request ads from server, it logs size of ads. please check for it too. Log comes under Tag: "Admob" (without quotes) text should be start with "Requesting ad ....... "

 

Yeach, this behaviour is connected with scaling ads up and down dependent on device's resolution. In other words, Admob SDK is going to have ad which takes the same part of screen (for example 1/5 height and 1/3 width). The result is that the ad is a constant of yout game's layout. But, unfortunately, this mechanism don't work properly in every situation. Here you are a topic about this:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/google-admob-ads-sdk/sFRnGLKHrUI

 

Hi DeepWave,
I observed that thing too. Smart Banner works with you current device resolution, may be it is maintaining kind of ratio between height width of Ad according to device. But about stretching Ad out of screen, i have no idea can't suggest anything until i see myself work around it.

 

Awesome. MicroEyes, thanks for providing this to the community. Two thumbs up (if I have a third one, I'd also be pointing it up ). I just have to ask though if there's a possibility for interstitial ads to be supported too? I don't mean to demand, I only ask. In any case, the plugin already works well. Thanks again!

 

Hello MicroEyes, unfortunately that log info will not help very much, because I want to go sure, to have always the right distance from top screen to my title bar and I hoped that it would be possible to get the banner height before rendering the level. For getting the info out of the log I have to test it on all available and also future available devices and that is not possible for me.

Anyway thanks for your help.

 

where to change my own packagename???
i replaced ID with mine but ads are not showing....!!!!

 

Hi Wana7262,
Please follow instructions from first Page. Please don't try in editor mode, use device to get ads.

 

Hi vinzer_x,
Thanks for your review. I'll add Interstitial Ads in next update.

 

i followed ur instruction i just replaced my app id and test it on my device... but no adds

 

Can you forward your device logs?

 

yea sure...one question how can i call enableads() and showAds() functions through other objects or scripts???
