DESCRIPTION

A Cordova-Phonegap plugin that allows you to integrate Google Admob ads into your iOS or Android app and display banners or interstitials. Cordova allows you to build cross platform HTML 5 and Javascript apps without having to rewrite in Objective C or Java.

QUICK START

• Create your app

cordova create hallo com.example.hallo HalloWorld

cd hallo

cordova platform add android

• Add the plugin

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-admob-simple

CODING DETAILS Load interstitial first and show later

• Add your app ID as described here for Android, or here for iOS.

• Add the following javascript functions, put in your own ad code, play with the variables if you want.

• Call initAd() from onDeviceReady()

//initialize the goodies
function initAd(){
        if ( window.plugins && window.plugins.AdMob ) {
            var ad_units = {
                ios : {
                    banner: 'ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx',		//PUT ADMOB ADCODE HERE
                    interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx'	//PUT ADMOB ADCODE HERE
                },
                android : {
                    banner: 'ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx',		//PUT ADMOB ADCODE HERE
                    interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx'	//PUT ADMOB ADCODE HERE
                }
            };
            var admobid = ( /(android)/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) ? ad_units.android : ad_units.ios;

            window.plugins.AdMob.setOptions( {
                publisherId: admobid.banner,
                interstitialAdId: admobid.interstitial,
                adSize: window.plugins.AdMob.AD_SIZE.SMART_BANNER,	//use SMART_BANNER, BANNER, LARGE_BANNER, IAB_MRECT, IAB_BANNER, IAB_LEADERBOARD
                bannerAtTop: false, // set to true, to put banner at top
                overlap: true, // banner will overlap webview 
                offsetTopBar: false, // set to true to avoid ios7 status bar overlap
                isTesting: false, // receiving test ad
                autoShow: false // auto show interstitial ad when loaded
            });

            registerAdEvents();
            window.plugins.AdMob.createInterstitialView();	//get the interstitials ready to be shown
            window.plugins.AdMob.requestInterstitialAd();

        } else {
            //alert( 'admob plugin not ready' );
        }
}
//functions to allow you to know when ads are shown, etc.
function registerAdEvents() {
        document.addEventListener('onReceiveAd', function(){});
        document.addEventListener('onFailedToReceiveAd', function(data){});
        document.addEventListener('onPresentAd', function(){});
        document.addEventListener('onDismissAd', function(){ });
        document.addEventListener('onLeaveToAd', function(){ });
        document.addEventListener('onReceiveInterstitialAd', function(){ });
        document.addEventListener('onPresentInterstitialAd', function(){ });
        document.addEventListener('onDismissInterstitialAd', function(){
        	window.plugins.AdMob.createInterstitialView();			//REMOVE THESE 2 LINES IF USING AUTOSHOW
            window.plugins.AdMob.requestInterstitialAd();			//get the next one ready only after the current one is closed
        });
    }

        } else {
            //alert( 'admob plugin not ready' );
        }
}
//functions to allow you to know when ads are shown, etc.

VIDEO DEMO

• Watch the video below to see a tutorial on how to install the Cordova Admob Plugin with Android Studio:

ECLIPSE NOTES

• Import your cordova project into eclipse, make sure you import the folder 'platforms/android', not the base folder of the project.

• Copy the google-play-services.jar into the libs folder.

• Add the following line to the manifest file, just before the ending application tag

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="8487000" />

• If your play services is a different version, then use the right value above. The console will warn you when you try run it if it's wrong.

ANDROID STUDIO NOTES

• Import your Cordova project with File->new->import project

• Make sure you import the folder 'platforms/android' or 'platforms/ios', not the base folder of the project.

• Now you have to launch the sdk manager and download and install the following files located under "extras" (if you don't have them already): Android support repository, Google play services, Google repository.

CAUTION

• Do not click your own ads or google could cancel all your accounts. They have automatic systems checking for this. For testing use the 'isTesting: true' javascript variable in the code below.

• Do not make apps that allow people to download youtube movies, this is against their terms of service also. They will find out.

• Do not make apps that embed youtube movies in a way that is not allowed.
