Admob Interstitial ad - LÖVE-Android
Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2015 2:15 pm
Hello.
Lots of people asked for Ads in LÖVE-Android, but we only were able to display banner ads. (https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/love- ... structions)
In these days I worked on interstitial ads and I found a way to show them using LÖVE!.
Probably this is not the best way to do it, but if you want you can try.
We need to add 2 functions: "love.system.isInterstitialLoaded()" and "love.system.showInterstitial()"
Prerequisites:
•Have an Admob account
•Have added google-play-services_lib to your android project
Step 1: Edit JNI files
•Edit jni\love\src\modules\system\wrap_System.h
Add
•Edit jni\love\src\modules\system\wrap_System.cpp
Add
And edit "static const luaL_Reg functions[]" like this:
•Edit jni\love\src\modules\system\System.h
Add
•Edit jni\love\src\modules\system\System.cpp
Add
•Edit jni\love\src\common\Android.h
Add
•Edit jni\love\src\common\Android.cpp
Add
Step 2: add Interstitial ad to your GameActivity.java
•Import AdMob and Interstitial ads into your GameActivity (Read https://developers.google.com/admob/and ... terstitial)
•Edit src\org\love2d\android\GameActivity.java
Now we have done!
(Of course now you have to re-run "ndk-build")
And here is an example:
game.love>main.lua
Tested on LÖVE-Android 0.9.2a
Warning: this is not 100% stable, you should test your app on several devices and several times.
There might be some hidden bugs there, and if anyone wants to improve it, there are absolutly no problems. (Sorry for English!)
