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.

I 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 am currently learning to develop Android applications, and to do this I have decided to develop a dictionary application. The UI, and search facilities are no problem to implement, but my question is, what is the best way to store the entries and definitions for the dictionary? Would XML be the best approach? I would be looking to include 500 - 1000 entries.

In above code, if i make i=0 or i=1 in tryDemo function then it is running successfully , but if i make it other than 0 or 1 then it throws an exception as "Demo - Demo Exception".
I am not sure but i think the exception raises from getApplicationContext().

The exception which i am getting, as follows:

Is it good way to develop application and is it support 1.5 and 1.5+. Users able to find my application there market.
I want to develop UI of the application which looks similar on all screen sizes. I have gone through the Android developer article regarding this. I am using supports-screen tag but then also the screen is displayed not displayed properly in the larger screens. The screen is displayed properly in HVGA and not in WVGA.
I have developed the application using Android 1.6 and set the minimum SDK version as 4. The application is running properly on HVGA avd but not on WVGA avd. Can I know the reason for it? Is there any solution for this? I want that the user interface of the application should look uniform in all the handsets.
More and more mobile platforms are being launched and sdk's are available to developers. There are various mobile platform are available,Android,iOS,Moblin,Windows mobile 7,RIM,symbian,bada,maemo etc.
And making of corss platform application is headache for developers. I am searching common thing across the platforms which will help to developers who want to port application to all platforms.Like what is the diff screen resolution, input methods, open gl support etc. please share details that you know for the any of platform . or is there possibilities , by writing code in html (widget type of thing) and load it into native application. I know about the android , in which we can add the web view into application. by calling setContentView(view)
Please share the class details where we can add the html view into native application of different type of platforms that you know.
Purpose of this thread is share common details across developers. marking as community wiki.

I'm making an ecommerce application on Android and, as it is my first serious project, I'm trying to figure out beforehand the best approach to do this.The application talks to a web service (magento api, meaning soap or xml rpc unfortunately) and gets all the content on the phone (product categories, product details, user credentials etc.). I think it should do lazy loading or something like that.
So, I was thinking to keep the user credentials in a custom Object which will be kept in a SharedPreferences so that every Activity cand easily access it. I'll use a couple of ListViews to show the content and AsyncTask to fetch the data needed. Should I keep all the data in memory in objects or should I use some sort of cache or a local database? Also, I'm planning to use a HashMap with SoftReferences to hold the bitmaps I am downloading. But wouldn't this eat a lot of memory?How cand all the activities have access to all these objects (ecommerce basket etc.)? I'm thinking of passing them using Intents but this doesn't seem right to me. Can SharedPreferences be used for a lot of objects and are there any concurrency issues?
Any pointers would be really appreciated. What are some good guidelines? What classes should I look into? Do you know of any resources on the Internet for me to check out?
First of all, I just want to say I am a software developer, but I am not an Android developer. However I usually walk around and think on stuff. AndI've been recently thinking all the news concerning how fragmented Android is getting, with different Android versions and tweaks by different phone manufacturers, and then for developers you have different size formats. An example would be that HTC Tattoo might not be able to run everything that another phone might run, due to different screen formats, etc. And now the Android tablets are coming with different Android versions and different screen sizes, all from 5" to 11". Will this make developing Android applications harder? Apple has it safe here since they manufacturer all devices that run the iPhone OS: the pods, phones and now the pad so they can easily control and make sure not to loose any customers by introducing a new device. When Apple introduced iPad they had to make sure that all the old iPhone applications would work on the iPad. They solved that neatly by saying that iPhone applications will simply be stretched out to the double size and it would fit on the iPad. Unfortunately Android does not have the same luxury to do this. As I said, I am not an Android developer. Just a curious software developer For you guys who work actively in the Android community, does Google have a solution for this? Will you be able to run phone applications on the tablets? Is there a bridge between the devices? Are there any standardizations or will Android development become even more fragmented? you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

View 1 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?

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?

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 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:
