Hi, I have been trying to get Admob to work in my Cocos2d game. I followed the tutorial on the wiki on how to do so but I seem to be missing the files (Admob.h etc...). When I download the SDK I have files that are like "GADBannerView.h".
Shoooo how do I do this? I been searching around and I have no clue :p haha
in your .h
#import "GADBannerView.h"
#import "RootViewController.h"
....
GADBannerView *bannerView;
RootViewController *controller;
....Then in your .m
controller = [[RootViewController alloc]init];
controller.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,size.width,size.height);
CGSize size = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize];
if (iPad && !retina){
bannerView = [[GADBannerView alloc]
initWithFrame:CGRectMake(size.width/2-364,
size.height -
GAD_SIZE_728x90.height*3.5,
GAD_SIZE_728x90.width,
GAD_SIZE_728x90.height)];
}
else { // It's an iPhone
bannerView = [[GADBannerView alloc]
initWithFrame:CGRectMake(size.width/2-160,
size.height -
GAD_SIZE_320x50.height*3,
GAD_SIZE_320x50.width,
GAD_SIZE_320x50.height)];
}
bannerView.adUnitID = @"XXXXXXXXXXXXX"; // your admob id
bannerView.rootViewController = controller;
[bannerView loadRequest:[GADRequest request]];
[controller.view addSubview:bannerView];
[[[CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView]addSubview : controller.view];And to remove it:
[bannerView release];
[controller.view removeFromSuperview];
[controller release];That works fine for me in all of my games as "Star Connect", perhaps it can be done in a better way so if anyone wants to update it... :)
@ImpresionesWeb What .h file are you adding the rootViewController and GADBannerView to?
@ImpresionesWeb: Thanks so much! Works perfect! I wish there were some way to make this the first result to come up in google.
No problem, glad I could help once, I've been helped hundreds so ... ;)
This works with the latest version of the Admob SDK, before it there was another way, similar but different.
I don't see anyone telling otherwise so I'll just assume that this is the best way to create the view and the ad ;)
I just made my Admob Singleton public on Github:
https://github.com/ksjogo/EasyAdmobSingleton
It has the advantage that you just call two methods in your code and it handles the rest.
At the moment it only supports one adsize and position, but if someone adds more, I would be happy about commits.
Guys, I was able to get the Ads displayed using the code in this post (thanks!) but if the ad displays a webview (rather than loading an app store link) I'm stuck because none of the buttons work. I'm talking about the refresh button and the done button at the bottom of the AdMob webview. Suggestions?
Hi @keyvisuals,
I found an article of yours online that has the BannerExample for implementing GADBannerView with iAd. Did you ever get this sorted for cocos2d? I had it working for the old version of admob but I'm struggling to get it working now.
Thanks
