How to remove leadbolt from ads interface?

unlying

It is pubiapp.jar . If somebody use ads interface, remove all unused jar files from libs. Especially pubiapp.jar. It isn't a virus, but users scared.

unlying

Does anybody integrate it to iOS?
How to pass through this?

ar2rsawseen

It did not recognize header by default as it was?

unlying

Looks so. I didn't change anything in files.

ar2rsawseen

Now thats interesting.
How about #import "HeyzapAds.framework/HeyzapAds"
Actually I just write #import "" and then write H letter inside the ""
#import "H" and it offers auto completion for header path

And here is my directory structure if it changes anything

About Android.
I have really many crashes in console about heyzap. It works, i can see requests and impressions in console, but crashes still make me worried.

Yes Heyzap seems to be misbehaving lately with lots of different errors and crashes,
will try to contact them once more to resolve it, but honestly did not yet receive a response for previous queries.

But thank you for error logs, will definitely help

ar2rsawseen

Updated Ads interface:

http://giderosmobile.com/labs/ads-interface

version 0.8

Removed unused SDKs
Android fixed destroying ad which was already garbage collected/destroyed
Amazon fixed auto ad
Amazon fixed precise positioning
Heyzap Upgraded SDK
Heyzap removed banner (not supported anymore)


P.S. Heyzap still seem to misbehave, so please test thoroughly when implementing heyzap in your apps

MobAmuse

@ar2rsawseen Will that last update above make any difference at all to running Chartboost ads only in android app?

ar2rsawseen

noup, refers only to banners

MobAmuse

OK cool cheers!

ar2rsawseen

ar2rsawseen

thank you, fixed it

unlying

Does anybody uses adcolony on Android? I tried to implement it, but have no luck. I'm not recieve any ads even in test mode. I understand that i'm doing something wrong, but don't know what exactly.

In main.lua i add

adcolony = Ads.new("adcolony")
adcolony:setKey("app00189fbd7fca4782970561", "v4vc09951897bf4846e5968b94")
adcolony:addEventListener(Event.AD_RECEIVED, function()
video=1
end)
adcolony:addEventListener(Event.AD_ACTION_END, function()
coins=coins+3
dataSaver.saveValue("coins", coins)
end)
adcolony:addEventListener(Event.AD_FAILED, function()
video=0
end)

and in menu section add button with

coinbutton:addEventListener("click",
function()
if video==1 then
adcolony:showAd("v4vc", "v4vc09951897bf4846e5968b94 ", true)
end
end)

But "video" never become 1. If i remove check for video==1, application closes on button press.

ar2rsawseen

@unlying it should be simply like:

ads = Ads.new("adcolony") ads:setKey("app3eefea4fed0e448e93d1ee", "vza612000e0bdc4bce817e30")   ads:showAd("video", "vza612000e0bdc4bce817e30") --or --ads:showAd("v4vc", "vza612000e0bdc4bce817e30", "true") ads:addEventListener(Event.AD_ACTION_END, function() coins=coins+3 dataSaver.saveValue("coins", coins) end)

and
1) you need to enable v4c in your app's video zone you use by checking Enable Virtual Currency Rewards to Yes and Client Side Only to Yes
2) you need to provide videozone id (starting with vz) in both cases, and not your V4VC Secret Key (starting with v4vc) which is meant for server side verification

unlying

Can we show ad from another zone with setkey for video zone?

ar2rsawseen

Yes you should be able to.
in fact the purpose of providing video zone in setKey is to set a default videozone, if you don't provide any other in showAd method, but unfortunately, just tested, and it does not seem to work (although described in AdColony docs).
But using the other videozone is completely fine.

unlying

After all test adcolony doesn't show me anything except test ads on Android in Russia
Bye Adcolony.

unlying

About Tapjoy.
We can't use rewarded options, yes? Only non-rewarded?
If we can, how to reward user?

marbolec

Same question, any progress on tapjoy offerwall?

ar2rsawseen

There are currently some problems I'm trying to solve with AdsInterface implementatin, after that I will think if it is possible or not
