No need to do that.

1. Clone the plugin down (or add locally with cordova-cli). Zip up the plugin folder and extract to Plugins.
2. Put the IOS sdk files in the src/ios folder.
3. Put the Android sdk jar file in src/android folder
4. Modify plugin.xml and add ...

<source-file src="src/android/GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.4.1.jar" target-dir="libs" />

right above the source file for AdMob.js. The clobber needs to be

<js-module src="www/AdMob.js" name="plugins.AdMob">
<clobbers target="plugins.AdMob" />
</js-module>

5. You need to add the line

<plugin name='AdMob' value='com.google.cordova.plugin.admob'/>

to plugins.xml in your docroot and in res/xml/plugins.xml.

6. My javascript looks something like this (I use jquerymobile pageshow event) ...

// is plugin loaded
if (window.plugins.AdMob) {

// vars
var adIdiOS = 'somepubidios';
var adIdAndroid = 'somepubidandroid';

// Might be platform dependant
var adId = (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Android') >=0) ? adIdAndroid : adIdiOS;

// get new window object
var am = window.plugins.AdMob;

// destroy any running adView
am.destroyBannerView();

// create new adView
am.createBannerView(
{
'publisherId' : adId,
'adSize' : am.AD_SIZE.BANNER,
'bannerAtTop' : false
},
function() {
am.requestAd({
'isTesting' : true,
'extras' : {
'color_bg' : '000000',
'color_bg_top' : '000000',
'color_border' : '000000',
'color_link' : 'FFFFFF',
'color_text' : 'FFFFFF',
'color_url' : 'FFFFFF'
}},
function() {
am.showAd(
true,
function() {},
function() {
console.log('Error showing Ad');
}
);
},
function() {
console.log('Error requesting Ad');
}
);
},
function() {
console.log('Error create Ad Banner');
}
);
} else {
console.log('AdMob plugin not loaded.');
}

7. Note the ad size is BANNER -- I could not get SMART_BANNER to work.

8. I would test with "house ads" because the testing flag seems to only work in the Android emulator which is pretty slow and worthless IMO. You will get revenue for impressions if testing is set to true if you are running on actual device!

Hope that helps.

Hi guys,

@Ned: thank you for the feedback!

@JD: js-module is the new way to add js references in plugin.xml, the bonus is that you no longer need to add <script> reference to the .js file in your html pages. <asset> would still be used for other kind of resources.
About the plugin - remember that Cordova plugins are not supported in Simulator and ION. You should deploy on actual device.

Steve,

It seems not as easy as I understand from your post. I downloaded the zip archive from the first post of this thread and imported it in my project.

When I build for device I get 34 errors (I wanted to attach a document, but attaching files seems to be broken, please try yourself):

Either I am missing something or I should follow all steps Ned explained. I have understood that AdMob is plugman compatible.

Ok, so the compile on Android is fine as I noted above. But I'm getting some linker errors with the new AdMob SDK for IOS. It seems that the static library 'libCordova.a' which we're linking in the main app is only compiled for one architecture (armv7, but not armv7s). This post goes into details ...

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17311075/after-update-to-xcode-5-ld-symbols-not-found-for-architecture-armv7-or-armv

Is there a way to tweak the build settings in Icenium to allow this to build?

SOLUTION:
This seemed to work in the IOS section of plugins.xml ...

<source-file src="src/ios/libGoogleAdMobAds.a" framework="true" target-dir="libs" compiler-flags="-fno-objc-arc"/>

You also need to add all of the .h header files in the plugins.xml otherwise it won't build.

Hello guys,

I'm too trying to add this plugin to my project, but without any success.
I've already read the whole documentation and it seems the following plugin:
https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-plugin-admob
is compatible out of the box. From the discussion I understand there are no other steps required, other than importing the archive downloaded.

So I'm importing the plugin, deleting any unrelated files like .gitignore, README, etc. Only www and src is left.
The plugin even includes a test folder, so I'm using this as my test code.

I did not want to mess up anything, so I've started with a new blank project.
I've imported the plugin and built for android. Sent the APK to my phone and it's not working.
The test reports AdMob was not loaded.

I have no idea why. I did everything from fresh beginning.
Any clues?

Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone,
I seem to be having some trouble getting this going as well. I'm getting a Server exception Build failed when trying to build for android in Mist. It will build fine for iOS.

These are the steps I followed...
- I started a blank project.
- downloaded the zip file from here https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-plugin-admob
- added the plugin in Mist by right clicking on the Plugins then Import plugin. I selected the zip I downloaded.
- I moved the index.html and the main.js from the Plugins\cordova-plugin-admob-master\test folder to the root
- I edited the main.js file and replaced all instances of window.AdMob with window.plugins.AdMob
- This is where I first tried to build and got the error.
- So, I downloaded the GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.4.1.jar and placed it in the cordova-plugin-admob-master\src\android directory
- I edited the plugin.xml and added <source-file src="src/android/GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.4.1.jar" target-dir="libs" /> after the engines node
- Tried again to build with no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas to get this to work? Also, is there a log file in Mist that could shed some light on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Josh

- I edited the main.js file and replaced all instances of window.AdMob with window.plugins.AdMob

Hi Josh,

Below are the steps you have to follow in order to implement the plugin:

Make a blank project.
Download and add the plugin in Mist by right clicking on the Plugins then Import plugin. The zip can be found here.
Add this file android-sdk/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib/libs/google-play-services.jar to Plugins > cordova-plugin-admob-master >src > android > libs folder.
Add <source-file src="src/android/libs/google-play-services.jar" target-dir="libs" /> inside <platform name="android"> tag in Plugins > cordova-plugin-admob-master > plugin.xml.
In the same file as above find and replace the version from this tag <config-file target="AndroidManifest.xml" parent="/manifest/application">
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>
</config-file> to the version from this file on your system android-sdk/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib/res/values/version.xml
If you want to use the test files from Plugins > cordova-plugin-admob-master > test folder edit the main.js file and replace all instances of window.AdMob with window.plugins.AdMob

I hope I haven't missed some of the steps.
Thanks.

Hi Zdravko,
I followed your suggestions and I'm happy to say Android does build now.
The "only" problem is that window.plugins.AdMob == undifined.
I've srearched trough the posts and links suggested in the post but I can't seem to find what I'm doing wrong.

I suspect it has something to do with the plugin.xml so I've added it below.

Help is greatly appreciated.

I have followed all the instructions in this thread and I am getting a similar error "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'AdMob' of undefined". I copied the script from the test.html page included in the plugin as follows:

document.addEventListener('deviceready', function () {

navigator.splashscreen.hide();

var admob_ios_key = 'a151e6d43c5a28f';

var admob_android_key = 'a151e6d65b12438';

var adId = (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Android') >=0) ? admob_android_key : admob_ios_key;

if ( window.plugins.AdMob ) {

var am = window.plugins.AdMob;

am.createBannerView(

{

'publisherId': adId,

'adSize': am.AD_SIZE.BANNER,

'bannerAtTop': true

}, function() {

am.requestAd( { 'isTesting':false }, function() {

am.showAd( true );

}, function() {

alert('failed to request ad');

})

}, function(){

AdMobTestApp.zip

Hello everyone,

Because of the high interest in the AdMob plugin I made a very simple app that implements it.
Please find it attached to this reply. It works both for Android and iOS and it is tested on Android 4.3 and iOS 7.1 versions.
Note that you have to replace the keys below with yours from apps.admob.com :

var admob_ios_key = 'ca-app-pub-1882245665150742/5173927112';

var admob_android_key = 'ca-app-pub-1882245665150742/7348664319';

Thanks.

You got me all excited about the AdMob plugin supporting Windows Phone. However i am having some issues getting it to compile on the cloud.

I took the sample app from Zdravko, updated the plugin directory with the new version here: https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-plugin-admob.

When I "Build & Deploy" I get the following error:

[2014-06-18 08:12:23.563] Log (Info,None): Project "AdTest.proj" (default targets):
Error: The "ResolveAssemblyReference" task failed unexpectedly.

Error: Could not copy the file "\\icewin1.telerik.local\t\64ed1052f356\bin\AdTest.xap" because it was not found.
Done building project "AdTest.proj" -- FAILED.

I noticed the 'UnexpectedCopyLocal' flag, and i tried it in the Visual Studio extention, and changed the Build Action from Content to Compile.

Now I get:

C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\Extensions\c2f151hw.s1z\Targets\Build.targets(158,3): error : Server build failed. Server output: Project "AdMob_Test.proj" (default targets):
Error: Error during processing of action! Attempting to revert...
Done building project "AdMob_Test.proj" -- FAILED.
.
Done building project "AdMob_Test.iceproj" -- FAILED.

Build FAILED.

Not one of the more useful error messages i have seen.. :)

Oh Telerik Gurus, and wisdom to impart?

I was however able to get ads in all 3 platforms using Inneractive's JavaScript AdTag.
https://inneractive.jira.com/wiki/display/DevWiki/JavaScript+Ad+Tag

Here is my ads.js file. I added the setInterval to make it refresh.

setInterval("ia.rfAd();", 30000);

try {

(function () {

console.log("GetInnerActiveAd() Start");

if (typeof ia === 'undefined') {

ia = {};

}

var ad_ios_key = 'GreaterVisions_DogeCoin_iPhone';

var ad_android_key = 'GreaterVisions_DogeCoin_Android';

var ad_winphone_key = 'GreaterVisions_DogeCoin_WP';

console.log("UserAgent: " + navigator.userAgent);

//default AD Key

var adId = ad_winphone_key;

if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Android') >= 0)

adId = ad_android_key;

if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iPhone') >= 0)

adId = ad_ios_key;

if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iPad') >= 0)

adId = ad_ios_key;

var width = screen.width;

var height = screen.height;

console.log("Ad Key: " + adId);

console.log("Screen Height: " + height);

console.log("Screen Width: " + width);

// CHANGE AD SETTINGS BELOW.

// More details about the different parameters can be found here:

// https://inneractive.jira.com/wiki/display/DevWiki/JavaScript+Ad+Tag#JavaScriptAdTag-RequestParameters

ia.adSettings = {

APP_ID: adId,

IS_MOBILE_WEB: false,

IS_ORMMA_SUPPORT: false,

IS_MRAID_SUPPORT: false,

IS_VIDEO_SUPPORT: false,

IS_FLOATING_BANNER: false,

IS_INTERSTITIAL_AD: false,

IMEI_MD5: '',

IMEI_SHA1: '',

IMSI_MD5: '',

PACKAGE_NAME: '',

// In Android - The application name as a reverse domain notation string (e.g., 'com.inneractive.adTag'). In iOS - the App Store Id from the iTunes URL (e.g., "123456789" for the following iTunes link: 'https://itunes.apple.com/iw/app/myApp/id123456789?mt=8').

CATEGORY: '', // e.g., Music

AGE: '',

GENDER: '',

KEYWORDS: 'Finance,bitcoin,doge,dogecoin,money', // e.g., Rock,Pop,Jazz,Blues

DEVICE_WIDTH: width, // resolution width of the device

DEVICE_HEIGHT: height, // resolution height of the device

MOBILE_NETWORK_CODE: '',

REQUIRED_HEIGHT: '',

FAILOVER: ''

};

console.log("Ad Done");

// CHANGE AD SETTINGS ABOVE.

})();

}

catch (e) {

console.log("AD failed: " + e.message);

}

I inserted the iaAdPlaceholder div in the footer section so it would show up right above the button bar. (I'm using the KendoUI layout)

<div data-role="layout" data-id="tabstrip-layout">

<div data-role="header">

<div data-role="navbar">

<span data-role="view-title"></span>

</div>

<div data-role="footer">

<div id='iaAdPlaceholder' class="OtherAd"></div>

<div data-role="tabstrip">

<a id="cmdHome" href="#/" data-icon="home">Home</a>

<a href="#tabstrip-calculator" data-icon="compose">Calculator</a>

<a href="#tabstrip-settings" data-icon="settings">Settings</a>

<a href="#tabstrip-about" data-icon="about">About</a>

</div>

I added some CSS to deal with Android's button bar being at the top.

.OtherAd {

text-align: center;

width: 100%;

}

.AndroidAd {

position: fixed;

bottom: 0;

text-align: center;

width: 100%;

}

And a quick script to toggle those CSS Classes in the deviceready code.

if (device.platform == "Android") {

$("#iaAdPlaceholder").addClass("AndroidAd").remove("OtherAd");

}

I am sure there are better ways of doing some of this, but it does work for me.. :)

Instructions for using the latest AdMob plugin:

1. Download the following two cordova plugins as zip files (Use Download ZIP button)

AdMob plugin at https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-plugin-admob
and
Google Play Services plugin at https://github.com/MobileChromeApps/google-play-services

Google Play Services is a dependency plugin for AdMob plugin

2. Create a new project in Telerik Platorm by selecting "AppBuilder Hybrid Project". I used just the "Blank (Javascript) template, but you can use any.

3. In Project Navigator in Telerik Platform, right click on "Plugins" and select "Import Plugin" and repeat the procedure to import both zip files from step 1

4. Expand "Plugins -> google-play-services-master" folder and open the "version.xml " file. Select and copy the version value inside this element <integer name="google_play_services_version">4452000</integer>

5. Open the "plugin.xml" file in the same folder and replace "@integer/google_play_services_version" in <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> with the version value you copied, so it would look like this <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="4452000" />

6. Expand "Plugins -> cordova-plugin-admob-master" folder, open the "plugin.xml" file and repeat the same procedure as in step 5, replacing the same element with the version value

7. Expand the "test" folder in "Plugins -> cordova-plugin-admob-master" folder and copy the "index.html" over to the main "index.html" file in the root of the project, overwriting the existing file

8. Open the "index.html" file in the root folder and replace the Android and iOS keys with your own

var admob_ios_key = 'ca-app-pub-5555555555555/555555555555';
var admob_android_key = 'ca-app-pub-5555555555555/555555555555';

9. For Windows Phone 8, open the following file "Plugins -> cordova-plugin-admob-master -> src -> wp8 -> GoogleAds.XML"
Find the following element and replace the AdUnitId with your own

<member name="P:GoogleAds.AdRequest.AdUnitId">
<summary>
ca-app-pub-5555555555555/555555555555
</summary>
</member>

10. To test the app on real device, on Android for example, use "Run->Build->Android->App Package". Do not use Appbuilder, that does not work either in simulator or in AppBuilder Companion App on real device

Enjoy

AdMobWP.zip

Hey guys,

I am happy to share that the AdMob plugin is now build-able for WP8 inside AppBuilder. One of our developers contributed the needed change to the official plugin repository. It was immediately merged. So, please download the latest version of the plugin and check if it is working on your sides.

Further, I have attached a demo project that should work well on WP8 devices.

I hope this helps.
