Question

Hello I am curious to know the solution for integrating Admob for App written in pygame Subset for Android. I have tried below things which did' t work for me :(

Still nothing working for me May be there is no way :(

TRY 1: I followed google https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/fundamentals#android This solution has no code change only build.xml modification It didt works for me :(

TRY 2: Tried below solutio also. http://www.michenux.net/android-admob-tutorial-461.html It also did't work for me :(

TRY 3: Tried to hack PythonActivity.java. But getting below related errors. I have GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.4.1.jar in \pgs4a-0.9.4\libs PATH still I get below kind of ERROR.

Below is my code:

  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    //vrbilgi

        setContentView(R_Layout_main);
    //    setContentView(r.layout.main);

            // Create the adView
    //     adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, MY_AD_UNIT_ID);
            adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER,"a1520527530b444");

            // Lookup your LinearLayout assuming it's been given
            // the attribute android:id="@+id/mainLayout"
          //  LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.mainLayout);
            LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R_adView);

            // Add the adView to it
            layout.addView(adView);

            // Initiate a generic request to load it with an ad
            adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());



    //vrbilgi

Answer 1

It looks like somebody has recently made a fork of pgs4a which has admob support. At the time of writing, it does not look like it has any documentation, nor have I tried it out, but it is certainly worth taking a look at.

Answer 2

This might be what you're looking for. I know that this is super late, but future people might benefit from this.

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    AndroidApplicationConfiguration cfg = new AndroidApplicationConfiguration();
    cfg.useGL20 = true;
    cfg.useAccelerometer = false;
    cfg.useCompass = false;

    // Create the layout
    RelativeLayout layout = new RelativeLayout(this);

    // Do the stuff that initialize() would do for you
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, 
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FORCE_NOT_FULLSCREEN);

    // Create the pygame View
    View gameView = initializeForView(R_layout_main, cfg);

    // Create and setup the AdMob view
    adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, "your id here"); // Put in your secret key here
    adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());

    // Add the pygame view
    layout.addView(gameView);

    // Add the AdMob view
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams adParams = 
            new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 
                            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    adParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP);
    adParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT);

    layout.addView(adView, adParams);

    // Hook it all up
    setContentView(layout);
}
