I am using this admob cordova plugin. I've installed the plugin in Icenium and put the javascript code in the body:
document.addEventListener('deviceready', function () {
if (window.plugins && window.plugins.AdMob) {
var admob_ios_key = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
var admob_android_key = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
var adId = (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Android') >= 0) ? admob_android_key : admob_ios_key;
var am = window.plugins.AdMob;
am.createBannerView(
{
'publisherId': adId,
'adSize': am.AD_SIZE.BANNER,
'bannerAtTop': false
},
function () {
am.requestAd(
{ 'isTesting': true },
function () {
am.showAd(true);
},
function () { alert('failed to request ad'); }
);
},
function () { alert('failed to create banner view'); }
);
} else {
alert('AdMob plugin not available/ready.');
}
});
My problem is that I don't see the ad, but just a black rectangle placeholder at the bottom of the screen.
I wanted to know why it doesn't show the ad, and if that's have to do with the asmob_ios_key and admob_android_key, I want to know what to put there. I put my admob publisher id number (without the 'pub-'), but I am not sure that this what I should put in the field
I know this is old but i have just installed this on xcode, using cordova 3.3.0. I used my publisher id. began with an 'a'. I did have it in wrong and i got a blank black screen at the bottom, actually had some spaces between the '' marks
the most possible reason for a blank/black ad is caused by a wrong ad unit id.
hi, i am the author of the plugin. though the variable is named as "publisherId" for historical reason, the real purpose is an Ad Unit Id, in following format:
