View 2 RepliesI am new to programming in Java and Android. I got admob to work at the most basic level, and whenever the device is at the landscape orientation, admob tends to popup and occupy a huge potion of the screen.What is the best way to detect the orientation and hide the ads from displaying if it is in horizontal orientation? Is it necessary to put the admob application in a thread to check for change in orientation and hide/unhide it?
I have tried using handcent sms for quite sometime now without the cons out weighing pros. So far I have noticed that it tends to drain more battery, some messages are not recieved/sent, and recently today it deleted my entire library of text messages. I am not complaining abot the app at all. I just want to know if my issues are unique or if anyone else has witnessed these issues on their phone. Let me know if I am just an idiot, or if my phone is acting up, or you guys have also had these issues. I hate to get rid of handcent because I like how I can change the color of the notification LED but its not worth having if it means deleting all my text.

I'm trying to decide if it would be best to get a google experience phone like the nexus one or get a skinned android device (Sense/Blur/ect...). The main thing i'm worried about is app compatability and secondary OS upgrades. Does skinning the device make it any less compatible for apps so you might have strange quirks with your phone? Also i would think if you bought a google experience device the OS upgrades would always come faster (or even if the come at all with a skinned device). I would especially think if you bought a google experience device like the nexus one then the upgrades would almost be immediate. I definitely think the companies that skin android (HTC/Motorola/Ect) have definitely made android look better and maybe a bit more functional but i'm concerned about the issues above with the app compatability being ther MOST important.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy app displays an AdMob AdView followed by a ListView. When the app first starts, I'd see an empty space where the AdView should be. After a while, I'd see an ad being displayed. However, this where the strange happens.The ad only displays for a brief moment, no more than a second, then it goes away and becomes empty space again (no ad). So it just repeats like this: no ads for while, brief display of ad, no ads again for while, and so on.This is my first experience with AdMob and I followed the AdMob integration instructions pretty closely.Am I doing something wrong? Or is there some kind of param to set the during of an ad being display that I am missing?

Beginning Android Games
Now this book implements a very nice and simple game framework which I use (a simpler version can be found here.The Android Game Framework: Part I - Kilobolt
Now this framework doesn't use any type of XML file what so ever, it uses a framebuffer to draw things onto the screen. now when the application is first started, this is the first method called which is in the AndroidGame.java

I have already posted on their developer group but based on everything I've seen I don't expect a reply. I have a strange problem. When I added and adview to my app it imported a bunch of comments that all start with /** Eclipse is acting like it is not a comment. Although it isn't erroring out it has now marked anything starting with R.id as not existing. Is this something I can remedy in eclipse or is it time to chuck my dreams of being mega rich off of all the admob revenue I will be receiving? Writing code is one of few things that teaches me I don't know everything. Join the Closed Beta of Call Girl Manager http://www.fuligin.com/forums
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm adding AdMob ads (say that five times fast) to my finished, published Android app. I added the code from the PDF included with AdMob, following their instructions to a tee. The test ads show up fine on my emulators and specified test devices. They just don't appear in the published marketplace app when you download and run it. I still get impressions on my AdMob page however. Any ideas?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to use Admob in my app. I've downloaded the SDK and followed the steps. Sometimes, I get an ad in return, but most of the time, I get an entry in LogCat that says "Server did not find any ads" or something to that effect. Test mode is enabled, says the Admob site. I think I might be doing something wrong. Where can I get a step-by-step guide to insert admob ads in Android apps? The Admob developer site is rather lacking.
Also, let's assume that everything's gone well and that I'd now like to deploy the app. How do I turn off test mode for Admob ads?
I am trying to get AdMob ads to display in my android application and have been unable to do so. I have contacted their support and have not received any response in almost a week, so I figured I would now ask for help here.
First some code:
CODE:................
Yes, admob-publisher-id-here is my real publisher id in the actual manifest file.
In the logcat, i see the following:
CODE:..................
The AdListener is indicating that it is unable to retrieve the ad. I have an active data connection, plus I am in Test Mode, so it is supposed to always show an ad, according to the admob wiki. There are no errors in the logcat, nor is the application force closing at all.
I got a response from admob, but all they said was i was creating the aeveiw twice, which I am not
I am developing an application in which I have used AdMob. When I run the application on emulator the it runs proper i.e. I get ads near about 8 times out of 10 requests. But when I run it through handset, the response get decremented i.e. I get near about 1 to 2 ads out of 10 to 20 requests.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI follow all the instruction but my ad doesn't appear on my app. My app is already on the market, i configure admob and adwhirl, and it's say it's active, but i can't do it.

When integrating AdMob ads into your application it is recommended to use test mode. In test mode test, ads are always returned. Test mode is enabled on a per-device basis. To enable test mode for a device, first request an ad, then look in LogCat for a line like the following:
To get test ads on the emulator use AdManager.setTestDevices...Once you have the device ID you can enable test mode by calling AdManager.setTestDevices:

what is that long number on the code? how i get that number?

I got accepted into Adsense for Mobile yesterday. Right now my app is running with Admob and generating about $6+ a day with 70k impressions (CTR ranges from 0.2% to 0.3%) . Just wondering if someone has experience with both Admob and Adsense, if so would you suggest changing to Adsense?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI cant seem to figure out how to add the admob widget into my application. i want to add the widget to a linearlayout that is the child of a relative layout. the linerlayout was created just for the ad. and have it update/refresh the ad each time a button is pressed. i have already imported the JAR,edited my manifest to include the permissions and publisher id. but i cant seem to exactly figure out how to add integrate the admob code.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have one year of experience in programming. After getting laid off in cuts I managed to get a job in telecommunications planning. I'm good at my new job and don't want to leave it but I miss programming. I'd like to be able to code in my free time (which is about 4 hours every evening 7 days a week.)
I can code pretty well in C#, reasonably well in SQL and poorly in a unix shell.
What sort of job should I get on the side? Would anyone hire me as a free lancer? Should I focus on making apps for phones (android) instead?
I just integrated AdMob into my app. I noticed that in South Korea, there were 24 clicks, but that I only got 7 cents off of those clicks. In Malaysia, there was one click that generated 11 cents, and in Japan there were 2 clicks that generated 0 cents Does anyone know how this works? Also, does AdMob or Google AdSense generate more money?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've had a Desire for two weeks now. I was in love with the phone... until this problem came up.
I use Outlook and Microsoft Exchange -- and had read all about how Android synced easily. And it did at first. Then, 10 days ago, the calendar stopped syncing. I got a "Client/Server conversion error," and no sync. The problem only effected my calendar -- mail and contacts were synced just fine. After reading a few forums, I did a "Remove account," re-installed the account. It worked fine again. No big deal.
Then it happened again today. I did the Remove/re-install thing again, and again it was cured. Until six hours later.
Is anyone else having this problem with their calendar/exchange sync? Any solution guesses?
Without being able to sync my phone to Outlook, the Desire I love so much is somewhere between frustrating and infuriating.
I qadrouple checked phone Id. Still does not work. What, besides of phone Id, is the difference betwween running on the Emulator and on the phone?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am testing the AdMob for Android SDK. I can't set the admob:testing="true" because the admob attribute is unknown.code...
My Eclipse is complaining that admob:testing="true" would have an unknown prefix. Anyone got an idea on how to fix this?
Sub question: Anyone got an idea how to change the height of the ad? It seems to be fixed to 48px, which is not looking good on any DROID phone...
I (think) that I am going to purchase the HTC Aria but have gotten cold feet reading about the screens breaking. Can anyone comment on the screen durability with a case attached or a skin applied to the Aria. I'm hoping that if I purchase the phone and get a good case, or "skin" it, the glass would have a lot less chance of breaking if I drop it, which I surely will do.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm very new to Android (like 2 days), but I'm experienced with other layout toolkits. I'm trying to put an AdView below a TabHost, and it seems that I can either get the TabWidget or the AdView to display correctly, but never both.
First, here's an ASCII art version of what I'm trying to accomplish:
--------------------------------------------
| Tab 1 | Tab 2 |
--------------------------------------------
| MapView when tab 1 is selected |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
--------------------------------------------
| AdView that stays no matter what tab |
--------------------------------------------
As you can see, I'm trying to get the AdView outside the TabWidget or FrameLayout. I want it to be below the whole tabhost contents.
Here's the layout I've got before adding the AdView...
Unfortunately, in that one, my MapView in the first tab puts the Zoom controls on top of the AdView. Is there some simple layout I'm missing? Cuz I can get the TabWidget to wrap_content for height, or the AdView to wrap_content for height, but only when they go above the "@android:id/tabcontent."
Anything below the tab content gets eaten by the MapView.
I have an app with Admob ads on it but I find that when I use it the ad almost never refreshes because I don't change activities, instead I just update a text view when buttons are pressed. I have tried searching this on Google but keep comming up short.
I would like to tell the app to refresh the add occasionally, such as after two button clicks or something like that. Does anyone know how to do this and potentially have some sample code for it?
I finally made the jump. Rooted today, after much study, and seems to have gone well. Backed up, and ready to go with a ROM, ROM manager installed. So, after untold hours of reading and digging, I cannot come up with a ROM that I can pin down as a good, solid starting point -- or better yet, one I might stick with for a while at least. They are so many. Did much reading on the earlier Fresh RO, but keep gravitating back to the newer ones like Cyanogen, Bugles Beast, etc. But I cannot find any comprehensive talk about these Roms -- it is just scattered and piecemeal. So thought I would ask those who have actually downloaded and flashed these ROM as to their opinion. I use my phone for the basic services. I need solid phone, MSM, Market access and installation, etc. I do not need blazing speed -- much rather stability and function. Where to begin? What say folks?

I had three other people hold my phone and they all experienced the same problem. I tried reporting the problem to Verizon 9 times to help me get a temporary phone while the Incredible is on back order. However, they come back to me saying to either continue using the phone or you must get another phone and hold on to it for two years. I emailed the CEO and finally got a call back from executive relations. Now they keep calling me demanding to have the phone back.
