Admob Unity Package that work with Unity 3.2 above

No they don't.

 

Hey !

I'm having an issue with my publisher ID on Admob, what ID should I really put in into the Unity plugin ?
I'm using the new Admob, and there are an ad unit ID and my publisher ID.
My publisher ID starts with "pub-" and my ad unit ID starts of with "ca-app-pub-", which one should I use ?
I tried both, neither worked.

Thanks !

 

You use it like xxx/xxx (pubID/adID) still i would not recomment using this "Plugin" before the call Device ID is removed.

 

Tried putting "pubID/adID", still no luck.

 

I just had another look into the Plugin, it seems the Testads do not work, so i think that you call the Device_ID because you think its used for the check for TestDeviceID to provide test Ads ? The check for test ads uses Android_ID not the Device ID.

If that was the case please change it. This should help:
String android_id = Settings.Secure.getString(this.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
String deviceId = md5(android_id).toUpperCase();

This should work without Read_Phone_State Permission, so you can remove that too.

 

you should add it without the ca-app-pub, like 2351104815749318/2130441953 should work

 

Done that, still there is no ad showing up.
Thanks for the help btw.

 

did you tryed it on the phone ? because on the engine they wont show up

 

i'm using ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx and it's work perfect

p.s.
my admob sdk version is 6.4.1

 

Tried on a emulator, gonna try on my android device now.

 

Alright, gonna try with that, thanks .

 

Thank you so much vARDAmir ! It worked
Also thank you Totalschaden for the help

 

you are welcome
glad to hear that I was useful=)

 

How i use Admob Interstitials with plugin?

 

Thank you MicroEyes! and the others helping here.
I spent 20 bucks on an asset that was harder to control and had less features.
Had this up and running in no time!

Unity 4.3.1f1 and GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.4.1.jar

 

I still can not get the banner to hide/disable when loading a different scene!
I am new to Unity so I appreciate all the help I have been getting here. Reading through this thread I was able to get my banners to show and everything. However, I want the banner to disappear when I go back to the main menu and I can not figure this out! any help will be greatly appreciated.
Note: my code is all Javascript, so I am having trouble calling functions from the C# script of the banner. I also tried to Destroy the object on scene Load with no success, any suggestions?!

 

Try to use "show/hide" function. I have no problems with it

 

Good day. Thanks for the plug.

Trying to use your plugin together with google-play-services-plugin https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity

There is a conflict google-play-services and GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.4.1.

google-play-serves.jar is in the folder Assets \ Plugins \ Android \ google-play-services_libelibs
GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.4.1.jar is in the folder Assetsepluginseandroid

In the console says: Error building Player: CommandInvokationFailure: Unable to convert classes into dex format.

The problem duplicating classes. Can I get around this? Can you adapt your plugin to work in conjunction with google-play-services.

 

Hi everyone!
First of all, I wanna thank MicroEyes for this plugin, it's really handy and useful for me. You'll definitely be on the credits, if I someday release the game I'm working on.
Now I'm having an issue with testing the ad, when I test the game in the BlueStacks emulator the ad shows up, so I can click on it and then opens the webpage or whatever it is. But when I test the build in my device, it shows up fine, but it doesn't seem to respond to my touch. I'm a little lost here, if someone could help me, I appreciate it.
Thank you all!

PS: I'm using Unity 4.3 and already made the AndroidManifest change mentioned.
PS2: Sorry for my English.

EDIT: Nevermind. I rebuilded and reinstalled it and now it magically works. Thanks.

 

thank MicroEyes this is a good plugin

how can i know the player click the Ad or not

 

This works perfectly with function "show, hide, disable, enable":
AdvertisementHandler.HideAds();

but how change position Ads when is running?
AdvertisementHandler.Adv_Bottom(); - not works

How change position from my script?

 

I can confirm I'm having the same problem. It's a annoying one at that.

 

my error is

Hi eze_devarg ,
You are trying in Unity Editor. This plugin isn't meant for Unity Editor.
Please try in Android device.

 

I have many problems with admob plugin. please look at your private message .. you send my mail to show my problems. achievement not make it work please help.
i have very much errors!! and have 3 games oks for up in google play

 

'
Hi eze_devarg ,
Sorry, but i didn't received any Private Message from you, i checked. Please re-send me your List of problems getting from this plugin. I'll try to resolve ASAP.

Thanks for using this plugin.

 

I am curios about this show / hide functions.

What does realy HIDE do ?
- Is this just hides the view while still showing ads invisibly ?
- Is this stop receiving ads from Admob servers, and activates again when we use show ?

I need to know this, if it is only hides the view visibility we will be wasting millions of impressions without chance of clicks.

 

Hi MoribitoMT,
Thanks for your interest in plugin.

Yes. Hide() function just hides Ads Visibility container, but google admob plugin will keep requesting for Ads.
To Disable ads, call Disable() function. Disable() function actually stop requesting ads from google admob server.

 

Sorry, all works!

 

i'm looking for interstitial. thank anyway! you've done a great job.

 

Am I correct that "READ_PHONE_STATE" is only needed for testing mode?
Thanks.

 

Hi bobbylee,
Yes, It should only work for testing mode. But there is a bug which makes 'READ_PHONE_STATE' permission compulsory to have. But i am using only to get device ID for adding device to Google Admob server for testing.

 

I'm having an error in line 89 of AdevertisementHandler which seems to unchain some other errors in line 90 and 100.

JNI: Unable to find field id for 'currentActivity' (static)
UnityEngine.AndroidJavaObject:GetStatic(String)

AdvertisementManager:Start() (at Assets/Scripts/Mics/Advertisement/AdvertisementManager.cs:169)

 

How can i change the position of the banner via script?

 

Hi belva1234,
You can change initially from inspector. But you can't change at Runtime.

 

Hi demilp,
Are you trying to run this plugin in Editor? This plugin only meant to provide Ads in Android Device.

 

Ooooh, this looks awesome. Downladed, will attempt to incorporate into my project tomorrow... no doubt I'll have all sorts of issues, as I have the C# coding ability of a rabbit.

 

Hi. I have a little problem with this.
When my game is playing without ads its fps is 59-61, but when my game is playing with ads, its fps is 39-41.
What can i do for fix?

 

Great! just great! After 5 hours of work and 1 paid plugin i found this and after 5min it was working. Just thanks!

 

Hi Castielblak,
This is a weird issue. Can you tell me, which Version of Unity Admob SDK are you using?

 

Does this thread work with the new Google Play Services version of Admob? Also, I am having trouble filling in the variables. For publisher id, do I put in the id starting with pub- 7....? Also, is the test device id variable the same as the app unit id? Thanks!

UPDATE: Never mind, I got the ads to show up. However, it appears that this plugin does not run together with the google play services plugin in https://github.com/faizann/UnityGPGPlugin. I followed your directions to change the variable in the manifest file to true. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks.

 

First of all, awesome plugin, I used the previous version and it seemed to work pretty well. I seem to be having a few problems with this version however.

1. Firstly when I try to enable ads or show them, nothing seems to work. I get an error in the editor and when I test it on a device, I press the buttons and nothing appears. I didn't touch any of the code, only the position on the screen.

Edit: This is the error I was getting in the editor.

Code (csharp):

1. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
2. AdvertisementHandler.ShowAds () (at Assets/Scripts/Mics/Advertisement/AdvertisementHandler.cs:133)
3. AdvertisementManager.OnGUI () (at Assets/Scripts/Mics/Advertisement/AdvertisementManager.cs:33)
4.  

2. The same as sunny8751, is the publisher ID the number that starts with pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX / XXXXXXXXXX. I am not sure if it is supposed to be in this format or adjusted in someway. Also should the slash and the other stuff after be included?

 

I don't want to spam but perhaps adding an FAQ to the end of the instructions on the OP would help. I am sure you don't like dealing with the same questions over and over again and its a pain to look for a solution through 15 pages of Q&As.

 

Im also having Issue to integrate this plugin, with the google play service .jar, so I can integrate leaderboards.

Can you please fix this issue? Here are the migration steps : https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/play-migration

 

Overall the plugin is working great and is really easy in implementation, however i have a weird issue. Whenever ads appear on screen the background of the screen goes dark. Buttons are visible, but it is a problem for me. If u could post a solution i would be very thankful.

 

I've just started to try and get this working. I imported it and changed the ad mob id to mine, but it is giving me this error. Also i have two advertising managers in one scene, I don't know if you can tell from the picture or not. I did this because I wanted to see ads on main menu and on score screen, but not on actual play screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks for plugin. Every thing seems working

You can't run this pugin in Unity editor mode. I suggest you adding somethink like this for editor

Code (csharp):

1. if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.Android) {
2.             AdvertisementHandler.Instantiate (m_publisherId, m_advSize, m_orientation, m_positionOne, m_positionTwo, m_isTesting, m_testDeviceId, m_animationInType, m_animationOutType, m_levelOfDebug);
3. }

and for any functions called from AdvertismentHandler, then you don't worry about errors with plugin in editor.

Also I have one suggestion to improvement plugin to handling state if it is instantiated, then you don't need to worry when calling Instantiate() multiple times.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public static bool isInstatiated = false;
3.  
4.     public static void Instantiate(string pubID, AdvSize advSize, AdvOrientation advOrient, Position position_1, Position position_2, bool isTesting, string testDeviceId, AnimationInType animIn, AnimationOutType animOut, LevelOfDebug levelOfDebug)
5.     {
6.         Debug.Log("Instantiate Called");
7.         if (!isInstatiated) {
8.             admobPluginClass = new AndroidJavaClass ("com.microeyes.admob.AdmobActivity");
9.             unityPlayer = new AndroidJavaClass ("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer");
10.             currActivity = unityPlayer.GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject> ("currentActivity");
11.             admobPluginClass.CallStatic ("AdvHandler", (int)Activity.INSTANTIATE, currActivity, pubID, (int)advSize, (int)advOrient, (int)position_1, (int)position_2, isTesting, testDeviceId, (int)animIn, (int)animOut, (int)levelOfDebug);
12.             isInstatiated = true;
13.             Debug.Log ("Instantiate FINISHED");
14.         } else {
15.             Debug.Log ("Already Instantiated");
16.         }
17.     }

Also pubId is a bit confusing. PubId means ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXX (unit add id)

About testing mode. I have clicked my banner in testing mode to see if is working but Admob have counted this clicks. Admob not allows to click on own ads. Any suggestions to not earn ban on Admob account?

Hmm does isTesting works? Because I'm receiving real ads instead of testing , i have changed the devideID.

For some reason unity cannot load the jar file.
The file is located in the default directory:
"Assets/Plugins/Android/"

I am also using this plugin, if it matters:
https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity

Any suggestions?

 

First, thank you so much for this plug in. It saves a lot of time.

The one issue I have is the fact that the ads don't seem to be clickable when displayed. I found a fix over here:

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/195169-Google-Admob-plugin-for-Unity-ad-is-not-clickable

Once I followed that advice, the ads seemed to work as intended.

 

Blond question (2 actually )

1. PubId: Your Admob PublisherID/App ID, that's the whole "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXX" or do I have to strip some of the 'ca-app-pub-' part of it?
2. The plugin is working perfectly on Android, but I still have the OnGUI() elements. How to remove those?

At this moment my game is not yet ready to release, but I'll be there SOON(tm). I'll drop your credits in the game as well, most likely under the start-up logo.

[EDIT]

I'm not so blond as I thought. Got both answers figured out myself and the plugin is working perfectly!
