KivMob Tutorial Requests

[pretentious7]

I'm sorry for being dumb, but I can't figure it out and I can't find docs.

Right now, I want to get a simple banner ad running.

class ScatterTextWidget(BoxLayout):
    APPID = 'ca-app-pub-NUMBER'
    BANNERID = 'ca-app-pub-ADNUMBER'
    ads = KivMob(APPID)
    ads.new_banner(BANNERID)
    ads.show_banner()
    ads.request_banner()
    
    pass

class DiceRollerApp(App):
    def build(self):
        return ScatterTextWidget()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    DiceRollerApp().run()

I've got an attendant .kv file for the app functionality and UI. Is this correct?

[MichaelStott]

I need to finish and post the sphinx documentation for this. Hopefully will have some free time in the near future to wrap that up. (#21)

As far as your code goes, you should request the banner ad before calling show (request_banner before show_banner).

[pretentious7]

do I have to put he publisher ID anywhere?

[MichaelStott]

No, just the app and banner ids. You'll also have to include the app id in the buildozer.spec file:

android.meta_data = com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID=ca-app-pub-####

[pretentious7]

the ad is still not showing, here's the logcat, admob says I'm ready to serve ads, so idk what's going on.

I notice that it says something about firebase and having to add a test device, and that the ad failed to load. What should I do about that exactly?

also should i make a new thread for this?

[MichaelStott]

This thread is fine. Your ad failed to load with error code 3, this means that the ad request was correct, but the there was a lack of ad inventory. I find this sometimes occurs after creating new app and ad ids. Wait about a couple hours to a day and then try again.

[pretentious7]

Ah ok. Yep I tested with the test banner and that worked. Thank you!

How can I move the ad to the bottom of the screen?

[MichaelStott]

Just create the banner ad like this:

ads.new_banner("BANNER-AD-ID", False)

Hi Michael First of all, thank you.
I have prepared and published an application called Password Builder.
He's testing it right now. Even though I put my own number in the code.
Should I wait for a while or is there something wrong?

self.ads = KivMob(TestIds.APP)
self.ads.new_banner(TestIds.BANNER, top_pos= False)
self.ads.request_banner()
self.ads.show_banner()
Do I need a change in code?

As your tutorials like
I Have added my application id to the spec file .
