HI,

Glad admob reward video has been added. Is there any docs on usage?

mihir77 · April 3, 2017, 3:34am

Great News.

Does admob rewarded video support mediation and get videos from other ad networks to increase fill rate?

Or should i go with fyber?

Which network gives greater fill rate and cpm?

PJamaLabs · April 3, 2017, 1:02pm

OK. got reward videos working however the callback isnt working.

Looking in the adMob example I see the callback is

        reward: function(name, currency, amount) {

However this never gets called

PJamaLabs · April 4, 2017, 12:40am

Reward videos work ok on iOS but do not seem to respond on Android

PJamaLabs · April 4, 2017, 12:24pm

Thought I had fixed it but havent.

After looking at the example adMob project I noticed there is functionality missing from my projects classes.

PluginAdMobJSHelper.cpp is missing the reward function for the callback etc.

We update the sample for Admob rewarded ads

github.com

sdkbox/sdkbox-sample-admob/blob/master/js/src/app.js#L130


    adViewDidDismissScreen: function(name) {
        self.showText('adViewDidDismissScreen name='+name);
        plugin.cache(name);
    },
    adViewWillDismissScreen: function(name) {
        self.showText('adViewWillDismissScreen='+name);
    },
    adViewWillLeaveApplication: function(name) {
        self.showText('adViewWillLeaveApplication='+name);
    },
    reward: function(name, currency, amount) {
        self.totalAmount = self.totalAmount + amount;
        self.showText('reward='+name+' '+currency+' '+amount);
        self.showText('totalAmount='+self.totalAmount);
    }
});
plugin.init();


// just for test
if ("undefined" != typeof(plugin.deviceid) && plugin.deviceid.length > 0) {
    console.log(">>>>{0}".format(plugin.deviceid));

There is a bug in current js binding class, you want to replace your’s with following one, and we’ll release an fixed version soon.

As I am using Creator and command line sdkbox import I dont see the reward function in the JS bindings. I have copied the code and the libs over from example to my project for iOS and I have rewards & callbacks working. However I am getting nothing on Android. What do I need to copy from example into my creator project for Android?

nite · April 5, 2017, 10:29am

The code from the sample should be enough, do you see any error logs from android? for example “failed to load reward video”

PJamaLabs · April 5, 2017, 10:31am

No it does nothing. iOS is fine but android when I call out I get no log or anything

Faust24 · April 5, 2017, 4:05pm

My app can’t load rewarded video.
Language: C++
Platform: Android
Even when I use sample I get this:
“ReceiveAdWithError name=rewarded”

yinjimmy · April 6, 2017, 6:11am

Try to add some mediation, such as adcolony and chartboost.

nite · April 7, 2017, 12:16am

Can you also double check if you turn on test ads?

Faust24 · April 11, 2017, 3:43pm

Tested it with both, but still not works.

yinjimmy · April 12, 2017, 1:49am

you can test with our admob sample https://github.com/sdkbox/sdkbox-sample-admob

I have some question buildToolsVersion on Android studio.
I use android studio 2.3.1, buildToolsVersion ‘25.0.2’ and use SDKBOX admob plugin.
When i implement showing rewarded video ads, not working.
Just return isAvailable(“rewarded”) false.
Any problem on android studio 2.3.1, buildToolsVersion 25.0.2?

Update

I know why not show ads.
I have to add third party mediations…

serpri · April 13, 2017, 7:16pm

I use Win-7, building on it C++ Cocos projects for Android.
Thanks for the rewarded video support start, but…

Update-2: succeed!

I’ve created new empty project with my current Cocos 3.14.1; so I’ve get full-screen (and portrait; and app doesn’t crashes after playing several landscape videos).

One my problem - my sintax error in Resources\sdkbox_config.json (missed or extra comma).

Another Resources\sdkbox_config.json problem - seems it’s not working without describing all 3 types of advertising (banner, interstitial and rewarded video) - may be because admob::init() automatically tries to load all 3 types of Ad one by another, so i had to use fake interstitial.

Looks like even reward() of the rewarded video works ok.

Thanks for your job, developers of the Cocos!

Faust24 · April 15, 2017, 3:22am

Can you please upload your project on github or something? I can not make rewarded videos work even on sample project…

Hello,

I see that you’ve updated SDKBOX to version 2.3.13.2 and added the Facebook functionality for sending gifts, but the functions for requesting and sending differ in parameters:

/**
         * Ask friends for a gift
         */
        static void requestGift(const std::vector<std::string>& invite_ids, const std::string& object_id, const std::string& message);

        /**
         * Send friend a gift
         */
        static void sendGift(const std::vector<std::string>& friend_ids, const std::string& object_id, const std::string& title, const std::string& message, const std::string& additional_data = "");

Could you add the title and additional_data parameters from the sendGift function to the requestGift function in the next patch for version 2.3.13 ?
