Implementing AdMob into my iOS libgdx game? - ios

Question

It is to my understanding that the way to do what I am describing above is to add the following lines of code into the gradle
project(":ios") {
apply plugin: "java"
apply plugin: "robovm"
dependencies {
compile project(":core")
//...
compile "org.robovm:robopods-google-mobile-ads-ios:1.6.0"
}
}
However after doing this, Im lost as to what the next step is.. Im expecting something similar to what I have done to make it work with the android devices. However I cant seem to find the right information for this, any help would be very much appreciated on what the next step for me should be

After you add that line, right click your iOS project and Gradle>Refresh all.
You now have the robopods jar in your grade dependencies.
For your iOSLauncher.java:
package com.YOURPACKAGENAME;//TODO
import org.robovm.apple.coregraphics.CGRect;
import org.robovm.apple.coregraphics.CGSize;
import org.robovm.apple.foundation.Foundation;
import org.robovm.apple.foundation.NSAutoreleasePool;
import org.robovm.apple.uikit.UIApplication;
import org.robovm.apple.uikit.UIApplicationLaunchOptions;
import org.robovm.apple.uikit.UIScreen;
import org.robovm.pods.google.mobileads.GADAdSize;
import org.robovm.pods.google.mobileads.GADBannerView;
import org.robovm.pods.google.mobileads.GADRequest;
import com.badlogic.gdx.backends.iosrobovm.IOSApplication;
import com.badlogic.gdx.backends.iosrobovm.IOSApplicationConfiguration;
import com.YOURPACKAGENAME.GAMECLASS;//TODO
import com.badlogic.gdx.Application;
import com.badlogic.gdx.utils.Logger;
import org.robovm.pods.google.mobileads.GADBannerViewDelegateAdapter;
import org.robovm.pods.google.mobileads.GADRequestError;
public class IOSLauncher extends IOSApplication.Delegate {
private static CGSize AD_SIZE;
private static final Logger log = new Logger(IOSLauncher.class.getName(), Application.LOG_DEBUG);
private GADBannerView adview;
private boolean adsInitialized = false;
private IOSApplication iosApplication;
#Override
protected IOSApplication createApplication() {
GAMECLASS app = new GAMECLASS();//TODO
IOSApplicationConfiguration config = new IOSApplicationConfiguration();
config.orientationLandscape = false;
config.orientationPortrait = true;
iosApplication = new IOSApplication(app, config);
return iosApplication;
}
public static void main(String[] argv) {
NSAutoreleasePool pool = new NSAutoreleasePool();
UIApplication.main(argv, null, IOSLauncher.class);
pool.close();
}
// Ads
public void showAd() {
initializeAds();
//Portrait bottom screen
final CGSize screenSize = UIScreen.getMainScreen().getBounds().getSize();
double screenWidth = screenSize.getWidth();
AD_SIZE = adview.getBounds().getSize();
double adWidth = AD_SIZE.getWidth();
double adHeight = AD_SIZE.getHeight();
float bannerWidth = (float) screenWidth;
float bannerHeight = (float) (bannerWidth / adWidth * adHeight);
double screenHeight = screenSize.getHeight();
double adX = (screenWidth / 2) - (adWidth / 2);
double adY = screenHeight - bannerHeight;
//Landscape top screen
//<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
//<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
/*
double adWidth = adSize.getWidth();
double adHeight = adSize.getHeight();
double screenHeight = screenSize.getHeight();
double screenWidth = screenSize.getWidth();
float bannerWidth = (float) screenWidth/2;
float bannerHeight = (float) ((float) screenHeight/10.0);
double adX = (screenWidth / 2) - (adWidth / 2);
double adY = 0;
*/
adview.setFrame(new CGRect(adX, adY, bannerWidth, bannerHeight));
}
#Override
public boolean didFinishLaunching (UIApplication application, UIApplicationLaunchOptions launchOptions) {
boolean didFinish = super.didFinishLaunching(application, launchOptions);
this.showAd();
return didFinish;
}
public void initializeAds() {
if (!adsInitialized) {
Foundation.log("Initalizing ads...");
adsInitialized = true;
adview = new GADBannerView(GADAdSize.SmartBannerPortrait());
adview.setAdUnitID("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"); //put your secret key here TODO
adview.setRootViewController(iosApplication.getUIViewController());
iosApplication.getUIViewController().getView().addSubview(adview);
final GADRequest request = new GADRequest();
adview.setDelegate(new GADBannerViewDelegateAdapter() {
#Override
public void didReceiveAd(GADBannerView view) {
super.didReceiveAd(view);
log.debug("didReceiveAd");
}
#Override
public void didFailToReceiveAd(GADBannerView view,
GADRequestError error) {
super.didFailToReceiveAd(view, error);
//log.debug("didFailToReceiveAd:" + error);
Foundation.log("ERROR at didFailToReceiveAd: " + error);
}
});
adview.loadRequest(request);
Foundation.log("Initalizing ads complete.");
}
}
}
Should work for iOS 9.
Also if you have any problems running that, make sure you clean the roboVM cache after the latest updates.
