Admob Unity Package that work with Unity 3.2 above

Yes, Interstitials gives more benefit then normal banner ads.

 

BTW what is this error? I know, it works even with this error, but what really causes it?

 

wolodo, mancuso was actually trying to run JNI code from Unity Editor.

 

So it has no effect on compiled app running on target device?

 

Hey, thanks MicroEyes for this awesome plugin. I am working on my first Unity game for Android. I was looking for a free AdMob plugin, this one finally came out, even long after I started the project. I was easily able to use the prefab, and even link to it from one of my existing main scripts (javascript) to call some functions I made that enable/disable ads.

 

No. it won't affect anything on target device.

 

I am glad you like it.

 

Good to hear. However thank you for this plugin. It is one of the most useful free things for unity. Good work. Haven't you considered also making plugin for in-app billing?

 

Many thanks MicroEyes. I am a solo wannabe developer with no funds for all the little extras. This has helped a great deal.

Your example project worked first time, no hassles.

Is it possible to use this for PC games as well?

 

Thank you for this great plugin! I have tried putting the banner on one of our free educational games. You can get via http://bit.ly/ShapeFindAndroid

We do not currently have dedicated credits page within the app itself but I have credited you on the description page.

 

No Its for Android Platform only.

 

No Problems man. I did mentioned on first page, "If Possible". In either ways, i don't have any issues. But thanks for using this plugin.

 

This is great, I just tested it works amazingly cool :grin:

But one question, how to remove that enable, disable etc gui buttons for testing ?

Also can we edit ad position on run time ?

Thanks

 

I am starting to have this odd problem. I have the test mode button unchecked in the editor. Just today it started showing the testing gui buttons. When yesterday it worked fine and without issue. I can't explain it.

 

add

Code (csharp):

1. #if UNITY_EDITOR

before the OnGUI(); and

Code (csharp):

1. #endif

after the closing bracket of OnGUI() at the AdvertisementManager script...

It worked for me...

Oh, and thanks MicroEyes! That's really awesome man, I will put you on my game's credits, zen :].

 

Thanks for using plugin.
You can comment out function OnGUI() in AdvertisementManager.cs

No You can't reposition Adv @ runtime.

 

Hey CoderBear,
TestMode in editor is for advertisement. By enabling that Google Admob server will send you only test advertisements. There is nothing to do with GUI buttons. You'll have to disable yourself by comment out function OnGUI() in AdvertisementManager.cs

 

Hi MicroEyes,

How do I add the SDKs for mediation with other ad networks? Do I have to do this from Eclipse or it still can be done through Unity and Android SDK? Thanks in advance.

 

There is no support for other ad networks yet. Sorry about that.

 

Can I test on PC? Or I must have an android machine to test?

 

Plugin works only on Android device.

 

Hi MicroEyes, I was wondering if I can trigger some booleans inside my games if the user click on some ads... do you know how could I do this?

 

Sorry friend, Google Admob SDK doesn't have any functionality yet.

 

Hello MicroEyes,
I just made a lite version of my game and used your plugin in. I just imported the unitypackage, created an Adapter class and it worked like a charm. I didn't even have to change anything (well except commenting the debug.log calls). It was too easy, I wonder if I missed anything. In the end, it still works, I can display ads so I put you in the credits part. Thank you
Here is the link to my game : http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ngvuhoang.games.fme.ads

I was just wondering why there was a permission to read the phone state in the manifest. Is this an Admob special requirement ?

 

I need a way to disable the static calls to the classes when I build for PC.
Sadly I can't just put a switch in the handler to check which version, as Unity refuses to build because, go figure, it cant find the Android classes...

If there could be some way to tell Unity to ignore the following lines on build while NOT set for Android:

static AndroidJavaClass admobPluginClass;
static AndroidJavaClass unityPlayer;
static AndroidJavaObject currActivity;

That would be great.

 

You can use Platform Dependent Compilation.

 

Yea I just am not sure how to do that in C#, as everything I know how to code requires I extend monobehavior into it. I tried just adding a simple if statement and it didn't like that.

 

No, it fairly simple man.

void Function()
{
#if UNITY_ANDROID

//put All Android statements here

#endif
}

 

Hi, I'm using your AdMob plugin with Unity 4 and I ran into a problem.

I've added the 'Advertisement' prefab from the package and provided the publisher ID.
when I test my game, the ad won't come out and it shows error in the console like this:



When I clicked, the "Show Ads" button, nothing happens...

Also, does this plugin also works for iOS?

THX b4

 

Nice Work!

I have only one question. Is it posibble to detect click on ad?

Thank you!

Edit: I think that probably no by some behaviour, but if I can detect that user click to some place and than the game go to background, it's signal that user click on ad. Is it posibble something like this?

 

You are running in Unity Editor. Plugin will work only in Android devices.

 

Yes. I have written code to do the same, but actually i am no getting appropriate time to test launch. But i'll update latest package soon.

 

Yes, thanks in advance

 

Well Microeyes Thanks for theplugin, BUT
does it take time for it to work?

I have tested it with your file and the new android SDK.
in test mode it both work. But when i turn testing off , then i don't see any apps

thanks again!

 

What do you mean by "then i don't see any apps:"?

 

Sorry i ment adds

(and thanks for the quick reply btw)

 

By Enabling Test mode, Google Admob server will send you Test Adv that doesn't count in your revenue. Disabling Test mode, you will get actually Adv. Code for both are same. Please check in logs if you find anything or send me logs, so i could debug.

 

I already fixed it.

Turns out that i kept "enabling ad" in the script. ( a bad case of unproper script adjustement)
So now it works!!

Thanks again!

 

Hello,
sorry for noob question but, how can I use my own java plugin along with yours.

I need this to use send intent.

I created jar plugin with one activity

Code (csharp):

1. package pl.smart.tech.sheepGame;
2. public class SmartShare extends UnityPlayerActivity {
3.        
4.           public void shareText(String subject,String text,String chooserTitle) {
5.             Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
6.             sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
7.             sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
8.             sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
9.             sendIntent.setType("text/plain");    
10.             startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, chooserTitle));                 
11.         }              
12. }

manifest.xml is

Code (csharp):

1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
2. <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="pl.smart.tech.sheepGame">
3.   <application android:icon="@drawable/app_icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
4.     <activity android:name=".SmartShare"
5.           android:label="@string/app_name"
6.           android:configChanges="fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|locale|mnc|mcc|navigation|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode|touchscreen">
7.       <intent-filter>
8.         <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
9.         <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
10.       </intent-filter>
11.     </activity>
12.   </application>
13. </manifest>

and I use it like this

Code (csharp):

1. void Share(string subject,string text,string chooserTitle)
2.     {
3.         string[] param = { subject, text, chooserTitle };
4.         AndroidJavaClass jc = new AndroidJavaClass("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer");
5.         AndroidJavaObject jo = jc.GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("currentActivity");
6.         jo.Call("shareText",param);
7.  
8.     }

problem is when I use your plugin (btw. thank you so much - its great!) and I add my activity to yours manifest I've got the following error JNI: Unable to find method id "shareText"

Thank you in advance!

EDIT:

I tried to grab current activity and statically start new activity from it but without luck

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. AndroidJavaClass ajc = new AndroidJavaClass("pl.smart.tech.sheepGame");
3. AndroidJavaClass unityPlayer = new AndroidJavaClass("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer");
4. AndroidJavaObject currActivity = unityPlayer.GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("currentActivity");
5.  
6. ajc.CallStatic("shareText", currActivity, subject, text, chooserTitle);

I dont know what .class should be than in java file - so I put UnityPlayerActivity.class

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.   public static void shareText(Activity root,String subject,String text,String chooserTitle) {
3.            
4.             Intent sendIntent = new Intent(root,UnityPlayerActivity.class);
5.             sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
6.             sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
7.             sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
8.             sendIntent.setType("text/plain");    
9.             root.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, chooserTitle));    
10.         }

EDIT 2:

I noticed great performance decrease when ads are active, is that normal ? Tested on HTC One V , Desire S, LG L7, Nexus 7

 

Hi MicroEyes, thanks for oyur plugin, I put some credit to you in my game ^^
you'r at developer, in special thanks

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monsterbed.mickparasomniacasual

it's a pac-man stilo game, but with new features, hope you like-it

 

Does your plugin make it possible to use the new "Child-directed setting" (see https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/additional-controls#coppa-setting)?

 

Thanks man.

 

No, There is no support for "Click-directed settting" yet.

 

Yea that sadly doesn't work.

I have to now completely remove this from my project just to build for PC WEB.

Not really sure why you altered it so it forces you to only work for Android, sort of defeats the whole point of Unity. Back when you originally created this plugin, it was great. Now I would have to keep some sort of insane duplicates of my project just to build seperately.

Oh well.

Errors:

Which of course, is because we're not loading that library.

 

Nice job!

But is it possible to change the banner position in code?

Regards,
Fluxxi

 

Noob question:
I was able to display ads in my device using the test scene. When I changed the publisher id to mine(in the inspector and AdvertisementManger.cs), ads stopped showing.
That's all the changes I've made and my game is not published in the appstore(needs ads to publish)

Am I missing something?

 

Hi,
I am not getting your issue. Aren't you app showing Ads OR Did google play store rejected your app.?
Please test your Admob publisher ID in TestScene with project i have uploaded in first page. This way you could check whether your publisher ID working or not.

 

The ads show if I leave the publisher id that comes with the plugin. If i change it to mine, they disappear. I tested it in the TestScene that comes with the plugin using an Asus tablet.
I also tried setting IsTesting to true.
The app is not yet in the market and is listed as inactive(No ad requests received) in the admob dashboard.

Thank you for the plugin and support. You're a great asset to the community BTW.

 

Thanks, I appreciate you like the plugin.
Please all your publisher ID to test Scene, change LevelOfDebug to Flood in the inspector.
In the Android LogCat(preferably Eclipse logcat), check whether apk is able to send request or not and receiving in return.

If you can't send me your apk, i'll try to give you the reason for the issue you are facing.
