Ok guys, so I've been using this SDK for one day and am so blown away by the results that I had to share them here. It can be found at https://www.revmob.com/ - The person that sent me the e-mail about it actually told me to keep it on the down-low as it is relatively new (they recently hit the 1000 account milestone) , but it's seems selfish not to share it with my fellow buzztouchers :) It's incredible easy to integrate - just one line of code that works perfectly with buzztouch apps. When the user opens the app, a pop-up comes up that says ''Download a free game?'' with the options ''yes'' or ''no''. If a user clicks yes they are taken to one of the numerous "farming" games in the app store (the one's that have $99 in-app-purchases). If the user actually installs and opens this app, you get paid around $2 I've always been hesitant to get involved with ads because I've heard so many people say they don't make any money off of them, but this method seriously works. These big "freemium" game companies are willing to pay you $2 per download because they expect to get much more back from the new user. I used it in my app "One Direction Fan Club". This app was paid at first and was averaging about $20 and 34 downloads a day - honestly those are really good numbers for any app, but I felt like it could do better so I made it free to see if it would climb higher in the rankings. Since then (about 20 days ago) it's been averaging 2,456 downloads a day. Long story short, since the update for my app that includes the SDK was released yesterday I've made $126 in ad-revenue in a 24 hour period. That's from 44 people installing the advertised game. Anyway, I thought you guys might be interested - Even if you have a free app that gets 500 downloads a day theres a good chance you can make $25 a day off of it, so check it out! - and keep it on the down-low ;) BTW this isn't a scam - it's been used by some big money-makers in the app store such as Jump Pack and Ant Smasher

so they are taken to a thing that says FREE GAME, But the games not free?

I didn't think www.revmob.com needed to be kept on 'the low down', it's been around for a while and easily found in the search engines. It's a similar cpa incentivised advertising model to leadbolt, jumptap, tapjoy, smaato and lots of others. It's not a great idea to make hypey posts with referral links in them, without saying they're referral links... Just sayin'

Nice tip mate, signed up and will try it out in my next free app. // J

Can your write a pdf or give us instructions on how to add it to a native buzztouch made app? -Jack

@ceerup: no it is a free game - it's just one of the games such as Farmville that expects users to spend more money within the app @raveyd: It's all about the method used - with leadbolt, tap joy, etc. you're lucky if your eCPM is $10, but revmob basically guarantees an eCPM of at least $25 by advertising a free game right when the app is launched. Plus it's much easier to integrate than most. About the referral link - thanks, I didn't even realize I did that :P (fixed) @ App Master: this tutorial on the website worked flawlessly for me - http://sdk.revmob.com/sdks/ios/docs/index.html - you can ignore step 2 since the system configuration.framework is already a part of buzztouch projects

alrighty ill give it a shot

Is the app name you installed it one "One Direction Fan Club"? I see it in iTunes, but not Android. Have you tried integrating this revmob into an Android app? With your iOS app, are you using it along with iAds, or that alone? Would you use it along with Leadbolt, or is that not really a good idea? What about push notifications? I heard there's some type of website where you can further monetize your app with push notifications, but I can't remember what it's called. Would it work in conjunction with this? Sorry for all the questions, I just use Leadbolt right now, and the user experience seems to be diminished by their system being sort of intrusive. It's sort of a double edged sword - you as a developer can keep the pop-up type ads, piss off users, but get a decent revenue, or you can have the little banner ads, keep users happier because they're not bothered by them, but not get much earnings.

I can't seem to get it to run in my iOS app...

id like a tutorial for us at buzztouch if you can, all this UIViewController and stuff, i dont know where that is, when i did admobs i had to go in xml files and java files to get it workin

I know absolutely nothing about coding, but this is what works for me: 1 -- Open the sample project and then drag and drop ''BCFAds.a'', ''BCFAds.h'', ''BCFAdsDelegate.'' into your project (I check "add to targets" and "copy items into destination group's folder (if needed)" - I don't know if it's necessary, but I do it and it works) 2 -- Check to make sure ''SystemConfiguration.framework'' is in your ''Frameworks'' folder (it should be there already if you downloaded the source code from buzztouch) 3 -- Add this to your apps delegate.h file right under #import ''BT_audioPlayer.h'' #import ''BCFAds.h'' 4 -- Right underneath where you just added #import ''BCFAds.h'', there should be a line that says @interface Your_App_Name_appDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate, etc..... 4.1 --right next to where it says UIApplicationDelegate, add this line BCFAdsDelegate 4.2 -- the whole statement should now look like this @interface Your_App_Name_appDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate, BCFAdsDelegate, BT_downloadFileDelegate, UITabBarControllerDelegate, AVAudioPlayerDelegate, UIAlertViewDelegate>{ 5 -- Find the spot in your apps delegate.m file, right under where it says -(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions{ 5.1 -- Add this line right underneath [BCFAds showPopupWithAppID:@''4f47e9ed5a804002a012f3c'' withDelegate:nil]; the id shown above should be replaced with the one you get when you add your app to the rev mob site HERE'S A SCREENSHOT OF THE DELEGATE.H FILE (THE IMPORTANT CODE IS HIGHLIGHTED) - http://s18.postimage.org/cj28l52rt/Screen_Shot_2012_05_23_at_6_30_24_PM.png HERE'S A SCREENSHOT OF THE DELEGATE.M FILE (THE IMPORTANT CODE IS HIGHLIGHTED) - http://s12.postimage.org/ekevhicn1/Screen_Shot_2012_05_23_at_6_41_23_PM.png That's All...let me know if anybody has luck

@ Daniel: 1st question - Yes it is ''One Direction Fan Club" and no I don't have the app on android, or any apps for that matter. The website indicates that Android is fully supported though 2nd question - I am not using any other ads, pop-ups, banners, etc. I can't say for sure if it would be a good idea or not, but I would personally avoid overwhelming the user with too many ads for the sake of maintaining decent reviews 3rd question - Don't know anything about that

Another great tip @absentia- thanks. This might not be suitable for all apps but I am keen to explore all options to monazite apps so that I can keep developing new ones. So thanks again for the advice. I know that some users find ads and these kind of popups annoying in their apps but developers need to get something back from their creations so that they can keep on creating new ones.

Yeah revmob is nice.. Been testing it for a little over two weeks.. Pretty nice income even for the European non English market which surprises me.. My highest day is about $100 .. Ads can be tricky for the end user but they have an way choice plus the ad is small and can be implemented on different buzztouch screens or by click of a button.. My favorite feature that the just implemented is the pause ad..I could have a paid app that I want to make free for a couple of days and play the ad during that period and not to lose income.. Also I noticed during updates the income obviously is higher. But it's great overall because iAd,leadbolt and air push aren't even close to these numbers!

Thanks absentia, For sharing this with us. Tutorial is working fine. For non-programmers: If you copy and paste the code absentia has given, make sure that you replace every ''(in the code are 2 single quotes used) with " (double quote) otherwise it won't work and you'll get errors. Best Regards, Danny

@Absentia thanks for sharing this new source for generating some income on free apps. I just visited the site downloaded the android sdk and followed the instructions given on this link: http://sdk.revmob.com/sdks/android/docs/index.html but, i have not achieved any success in implementing it successfully. I would appreciate if someone guides me on implementing revmob on android devices.

@Absentia, I didn't mean for you to remove the referral link, just make it clear it's a referral link! I guess I'm on too many forums where a post like that would be flamed! @Sandeep, mysps and I looked at this a while ago and it's a 2 minute integration for the most basic set up, I got this working on bt1.5 and 2.0, but I think mysps had some problems with 1.4? @mysps, sorry for not replying, I didn't even know I had those messages! Add jar file to a lib (or libs) folder and built the path. My app uses a button menu for the home page, so I've put the code in the BT_screen_menuButtons.java file, but the same revmob code can go in any screen you like. Add import: import com.bcfg.adsclient.BCFAds; Then I've put the revmob code in the onCreate method below this line: LinearLayout baseView = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.baseView); So it looks like this: LinearLayout baseView = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.baseView); String myApplicationId = "xxxx -id number- xxxxxx"; BCFAds.showPopup(this, myApplicationId); //setup background colors... And I've just added the wifi permission to the manifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/> hope that helps.

@Raveyd Thanks for the tips. Will try implementing it and tell you about the results.

@Raveyd Implementation successful. Piece of cake. Thanks a lot.

Nice one Sandeep!

Thanks reveyd. This one literally took just one minute to get it done.

lol! Damn, it took me 2 minutes!

Lol! Yes, you were the first one to try without any guide. Thats why... ;)

Thanks for the tip/tutorials guys. Nice find. I like this kind of ad concept much better than the banners - so i can see why this is working. If only Push Notifications were as easy!

Interesting Absentia! Has anyone managed to implement the revmob pop-up in other screens or as a menu item in iOS?

I've imported it in other screens with no problem. add to the .h file delegate and then to the screen .m file and you should be good to go.

OK, I know this is a dumb question, but I want to make sure I do it right. The documentation on the Revmob site looks pretty easy to me. So, my question though, is, if I submitted my app to Google Play yesterday, and it's already live, do I need to re-compile the app with all the new stuff in the lib folder, then re-submit the updated APK file to Google Play, basically making a version 2.0 of my app? Or do I just re-compile what I already have? Dumb question, I know.

You need to resubmit.

@Absentina Mind if i ask how the revenue going with the revmob? Still at a good clip? You should have had a few downloads yesterday - I had my wife show this app to her students who are all the target age "One Direction" fans. She said a bunch of them we're racing home to install it....

@atrian, I would love to hear this as well. I'm a little nervous about updating this code, but I think the worst that could happen is I botch something, and then I just upload my original APK file again, right?

@ ATRAIN the revenue has been awesome - so far $900 in the 10 days I've been using it. It definitely jumps around a lot - my lowest day was $52 and my best was $142. Tell your wife I said thanks :P here's a screenshot of the dashboard if anybody is wondering about click through rates, ecpm, etc. - http://s16.postimage.org/aw997py45/Screen_shot_at_2012_06_01_9_21_54_AM.png I expect it to settle at a modest number...eventually everyone will have seen it and conditioned themselves to automatically tap 'no'. What's cool is I recently got an e-mail from revmob saying full-screen ads will be available for iOS any day now (I think they already are for android) so that will be a whole new way to grab peoples attention

Hey, Can I Do this on a already made app in the android store? im interested, cause all i have now is admob on it, and i have 1900 requests and only 50 cents...lol

yes ceerup you can. all you have to do is follow raveyd's tutorial above and recompile your app and submit it to google play store. the store will update your app to new version within few hours of submission. you can literally set up revmob sdk to your app within few minutes or even less than a minute.

i thought his play by play is iOS...isnt it different with eclipse

When you publish a new version, don't forget to change these in AndroidManifest.xml: android:versionCode="2" android:versionName="1.1" versionCode needs to be incremented from the previous version you put out. It can be any number, as long as it's greater than the last. versionname is what the user sees in Google Play. It can be whatever you want. Mark

actually the tutorial which is directed to me is tutorial for android bt 1.5 and 2.0. i have successfully implemented the revmob sdk to my app. GoNorthWest is correct, you just have to increase the version code inorder to get your app approved by google play store. just follow the steps from the tutorial of revyed and also dont forget what GoNorthWest suggested.

im confused, i downloaded the jar file, how to i add it to eclipse? all the tutorials from the original post is taken down and raves instructions are confusing because i dont have a button menu list

You have already added admob successfully to your app. So this would be easy for you. Any how i will explain in short which you will find helpful: 1. create lib folder in your project and copy the jar file in it. 2. right click project file and go to proerties -> java build path -> add the jar file from lib. 3. Now the tricky part. Since your home screen is not button list menue, i assume it is simple menu list. so now open the BT_screen_menuList.java and add import: import com.bcfg.adsclient.BCFAds; 4. Put the revmob code in the onCreate method below this line: LinearLayout baseView = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.baseView); So it looks like this: LinearLayout baseView = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.baseView); String myApplicationId = "xxxx -id number- xxxxxx"; BCFAds.showPopup(this, myApplicationId); //setup background colors... 5. Add the wifi permission to the manifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>

i will try this, and get right back to you

ok i am waiting for you just do it fast. its already 1.30 am here. and yes dont forget to make version related changes in Manifest.xml as suggested by GoNorthWest.

@Sandeep - much obliged for that, it is exactly what I need as well. Still a bit apprehensive but I will do this in about two hours myself.

@Daniel LaRusso i will be happy if you guys do implement this successfully.

I just forgot to mention one more thing. I had an error stating to add deprecation string, all i did was i hovered the mouse pointer and fixed the issue from the pop-up option. And i really thank raveyd for his helpful tutorial.

@Absentia I just happened to see your screenshot. Its really impressive. Congrats for such an achievement and thanks for sharing this new source of income with all of us.

ok 2 things its saying, i put everything in the right place 1) The type BCFAds is deprecated 2) The method showPopup(Activity, String) from the type BCFAds is deprecated

@ceerup yes thats what i doubted. just hover over your mouse pointer. a small pop up will come and in there select first option to fix the issue. (i dont know what exactly it says but it is related to deprecation).

it says just "supress warning" is all it did to the fix...am i on the right track?

yes thats it. and after you are done fixing both the errors give it a try on your emulator. you will soon come to know whether the errors got fixed or not.

[2012-06-01 16:24:03 - gamercalculator] Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1 thats the error thats showing, wont load now

ok. this is what it looks in my project. i just fixed with the pop up option and it added the @SupressWarnings("deprecation") just above the @override. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //activity life-cycle events. //onCreate @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") @Override

i think this has to do with adding the jar files, can you explain how to exactly add it, because i searched Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1 and it has something to do with there might be 2 in the project, i dont know im confused

first of all i wanna clarify you that i am an advocate by profession and not a programmer so, i know less about codes. secondly, have you seen the video tut of raveyd adding admob? it shows how to add jar file in lib folder and then adding jar to libraries by going to java build path. i have already explained it but here it goes. 1. create lib folder in your project and copy the jar file in it (just implement copy paste). 2. right click project file and go to proerties -> java build path -> libraries -> add the jar file from lib folder. Also dont forget to check the checkbox of revmob3.0.0.jar in order and export. this might be the reason that its not working with your app.

Thanks for taking over Sandeep, great job! I'd just like to add that if you have everything in eclipse up to date, make sure that the folder is called 'libs' and not 'lib'. It seems an irrelevent difference but 'lib' can throw errors in the project.

@raveyd thanks mate again for your worthy advice. @ceerup keep me posted about your progress i am going for sleep now.

I just have to say - y'all have some.good karma coming your way from Alabama for all the help you've been. I'm thankful that folks like the three or four of you sharing your wisdom are here

Hope I'm included, could do with some good karma, just lost my google play account :(

What the heck! How did you lose your Google Play account? Definitely sending double karma to you

Thanks Mate! Really not sure what's happened. I got an app suspended, then another, then another, then the account went. All I get is emails referring me to the TOS. The funny thing is, the exact same apps have been manually approved at Amazon, Getjar, HTC, Samsung and a lot of others. Samsung alone was a 5 step certification process covering everything from performance to copyrights. Accepted with no problems. I'm a bit stumped to be honest! I'm in the process of porting them to Blackberry, then thinking about biting the bullet and going with Apple... Gulp!

That's crazy mate.

These things are sent to test us mate! What can I do? Big G will not, under any circumstances, back down. The only thing to do is move on.

That is crazy. I know we shouldn't take this thread to another topic, but did the apps have a certain topic or something?

I hear you Raveyd, talk about twistin' your melons though.

Nothing out of the ordinary mate. It happened a couple of days ago. I panicked a bit at first, but there's nothing I can do about it. One of the apps has a lot of active members so it'll sustain earnings for a while, while I look at Blackberry and Apple. Not too worried as it can be cross platform. I guess it's made me look at alternative platforms earlier in my learning than I would have liked, but who knows? Maybe that's a good thing? @Macapple - they were seriously twisted there for a while!

Best of luck with that Raveyd - I don't know how it works but hopefully you'll get your account back soon!!!

So many means of distribution now but still smacks. Onwards and upwards.

ok i did everything, im running it on the emulator but nothing shows up (android), will it just show up on a regular phone and not the emulator?

Well - back on topic. I am getting an error that the File is not found when I try to install the RevMob Android SDK (and Apple SDK too). Any ideas?

@DanielSan have you made sure that the folder you put the revmob jar file in is called 'libs' (not 'lib') and is situated in the right place in the project? (Right click your project > New > Folder - name it 'libs' without the quotes). Once you have it added drag your revmob jar file into the folder and follow the prompts, then right click on your project again and select Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries > Add Jars and when the box pops up navigate to the revmob jar file in the libs folder, select it then hit ok and ok again. Once that's done, just add the code posted above and it should be good to go!

No, I mean I can't even download the SDK from the revmob site. It's as if the zip file isn't even there, I keep getting a 404 error

Ahhh lol ok! Weird. Can you try different browsers? Clear your cache, clear cookies etc

Here you go, freshly downloaded in firefox: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56760890/bcfads-ios-sdk-1.0.4.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56760890/revmob-android-sdk-3.0.2.zip

I just got an e-mail that said they are doing a pretty huge website update right now, so that's probably what's causing it

ravey, would i see anything in the emulator?

Can't remember Ceerup, I think you should, it's only a pop up dialogue box. Although since I tried it a few weeks ago there's now that depracation error that pops up for some people and I don't know what they've changed to cause that.

anyone mind checking my project out, admob and revmob isnt working, see if everythings there?

I'll take a look if you like. No promises! paul9qr (at) btinternet (dot) com

thanks ravey, do you want me to send it in a zipped folder?

sent ravey thanks once again

@raveyd... cant believe that your account got suspended. I think it is a huge blow for you. you have always been so helpful and cooperative around the bt community so no doubt you have done a lot of good karma and you definitely will yield good fruits from those karmas. @ceerup i thought i would receive some good news when i wake up. but it seems things didnt work with you. No problem, now raveyd is there to assist in solving your problem. All the best.

hes gonna check tomorrow, wanna check tonight? haha

lol its already morning here. no problem i would be glad to take a look at it if you want me to. you can drop the zip file to my mail address. its sandeepkurne (at) gmail (dot) com.

sent

i received your mail but strangely it doesnt show any attachments. try one more time...

Thanks for the info guys- I'll be trying to implement it into an app- once I think of a popular topic. Clearly the One Direction topic was successful for you, Absentia! // J

OK, this is what I've done, sort of merging what several people have said, because I am using a Menu List Simple. I was able to download the Android SDK from the actual RevMob site (I think they were doing maintenance or something. I unzipped the zip file, and then, I did the steps by Sandeep 1. create lib folder in your project and copy the jar file in it (just implement copy paste - the jar file is called revmob3.0.2.jar). 2. right click project file and go to proerties -> java build path -> libraries -> add the jar file from lib folder. Also dont forget to check the checkbox of revmob3.0.0.jar in order and export. Then, I did this, also suggested by Sandeep: 3. Now the tricky part. Since your home screen is not button list menue, i assume it is simple menu list. so now open the BT_screen_menuList.java and add import: import com.bcfg.adsclient.BCFAds; -----> for this part, does it matter WHERE I put this? <--------- 4. Put the revmob code in the onCreate method below this line: LinearLayout baseView = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.baseView); So it looks like this: LinearLayout baseView = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.baseView); String myApplicationId = "xxxx -id number- xxxxxx"; BCFAds.showPopup(this, myApplicationId); //setup background colors... 5. Add the wifi permission to the manifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/> I compiled and didn't get any errors, but I'm not seeing any popup ads or anything in the emulator. Should I be seeing that?? Any ideas on where I went wrong, with this very limited info? (and great, after I get this fixed, I get to compile an Android app in XCode - whoohooo)

@Daniel LaRusso i just finished compiling app for ceerup and implemented revmob successfully. When i tested my app (sometime in last two weeks before), i tested it directly on my device. but today i tested ceerups app on emulator first and i did not see any ads. later i tested it on my device and now the ads show up. so try testing it on a device and see the results.

OK, I'll give that a shot, Sandeep. Thank you!

yes mate i am waiting here for your reply.

Well holy moly - it looks like it worked! What happened is that when the splash screen opened up the main menu, there was a small popup that says "Download a FREE game" (Yes Sure) (No Thanks) Looks like I did it right, yes? So, now, to submit it to Android again, I need to make a revision number and build a new exportable apk, right?

congrats yes, thats it. you have implemented it successfully. go through what GoNorthWest instructed earlier and sign your app with your keystore, then its ready to be submitted.

@Daniel. Remember, its libs. With an s. Lol. Everybody does it. So what make this whole revmob thing better than admob? Sevens

Is it the price we get for our ad placements?

Yeah, I made a libs folder, put it there, no problem. I can see that "do you want to download a game" when I install it on my device, so I assume it worked. It was as easy as heck to do this, if it ends up working.

OK, now that I got that done - do any of you do this in iOS? How different is it in XCode?

@Daniel LaRusso in order to confirm your decive is running revmob you can just login to your revmob account and check the impression counts. it gets updated instantly. and for iOS implementation just check the post of Absentia for iOS tutorual in this thread.

Oh,cool, I got it Sandeep! I guess that's why some of the delegate.h and stuff were in what @Absentia put in - applies to XCode. I'm seeing the impressions increase a little bit, hopefully I'll start to see some revenue. Now it's off to dust of the cobwebs of how to compile in XCode. Thank you all for your help!

congrats on successful implemention.

Nice one again Sandeep! I was just about to start on ceerups project, glad I checked emails first!

@raveyd thank you mate. but nothing could be done without your help. all credit goes to you. :)

Ok. Call me crazy, but my 1.4 is still doing well and I would like to place the revmob along with admob. But I think I need to increase API level to use this or something. I'm no genius but I think I counted every bracket to make sure I had good syntax and still no cigar. I think I am having the same fantom issue as @daniel l but I'm not sure if its me or the fact that you have to test on a real device. (My two devices) would not load the app even though there were no errors. So: 1. Do I need to use one or the other? Or can I use both simultaneously? 2. What level target and min API are you building for that made these revmobs work? 3. Anyone using full screen ads? ...I need to hit my customers with videos for the pain I'm going through for their free info! Laugh out loud ...still sleepy from watching the posts to self-correct lastnight (no luck yet)

I'm getting close I can smell it. Maybe I need a translation to BT_1.4 raveyd.

Well shoot. I got the popup when I emailed myself the apk, but after I uploaded the new apk to google play, ads don't show up for anyone. Any ideas?

@daniel. I'm having trouble with everyone's advice. Revmob tutorial not helping either.

lol. you guys are blowing up my email account with this thread. awesome. shows how popular this stuff is. awesome to hear this is workign out so well, great help here in this thread too. thanks for the tipoff on this Absentia! Larusso if one of the freebies linked to you is some kinda Cobra Kai karate game! You have to buy that!

@daniel. I'm having trouble with everyone's advice. Revmob tutorial not helping either. Sorry tablet forces a reload/ repost on refresh button.

Ok, Sandeep got my Revmob to work, but admob doesnt work. And Im not sure what to keep. Admob will probably make less money Revmob will annoy the app user (it pops up even after you click no, numerous times in 1 session)

@ ceerup That must be an android thing...on iOS it only pops up once when the app is opened - it usually doesn't pop up again until the app is completely exited and re-opened (i.e. not still running in the multi-task bar)

yea definitely just an android thing i guess...i wonder why admob wont work now

Seems like admob won't play nice. Revmob is not on their mediation list. Things that make you go hmmm.

Any thoughts on why revmob would work with the apk I email myself but not when installed from google play?

Is there a test only setting in the jar? Im looking for info on dev console about restricting certain ad servers. Long shot but I'm stuck. I'm testing a 2.0 apk to see if it works at all.

i got admob to work with revmob, i was missing the config.java thats why it didnt work Just annoyed that it pops up every 60 seconds it seems like...even if you click yes or no...i wonder if theres a code to execute it so it doesnt popup til next time the app starts

So are you seeing revenue for the few clicks yet?

no, because i think you have to download the game... so im not seeing money, just impressions and clicks

yeah, people actually have to install the game for you to get paid. I think what you get paid depends on which game the link directs the user to. So far I've been averaging $2.93 per install

not bad at all

@ceerup where did u put the config.Java file? Where did u get it from?

config.java is for admob. you get a notepad and paste the code in raveys guide into a notepad, save it as config.java and put it in your src folder.

Oh. Grrrrrr. Still looking for a solution to ad revmob to 1.4 app. Deleting project again to start from scratch....

Anyone know a code to make it stop popping up on android when someone says no (revmob)

also for revmob since i go through the screen_menulist.java the popup is going to keep coming on when you go to a menulist screen therefore where else can i put the string so the popup just comes one time?

@ mysps - thanks for the heads up - added the code to other screens in xcode project and worked fine. I'll probably try putting into bt 1.4 app next (ios and android), although I think raveyd said you were having problems with 1.4 android and revmob...

Hi guys, I'm CEO of RevMob and the BuzzTouch user Intrege was kind enough to let me know some of you are discussing RevMob integration. He asked us for help and here I am. I want to offer you full technical support at [email protected] and I'd also be happy to address any specific business questions you guys might have -- my personal e-mail is [email protected] We're currently delivering KILLER eCPMs, by far the highest out there, and we're always baking new SDKs that pretty much always double current eCPMs. May I advise you all to run the Full-Screens (new best ad unit) and popups (if Full-Screens are not available yet) during boot-up. Yes, showing the ads when the app opens converts best and assures highest eCPM. Also, stay tuned for our new Full-Screen ad unit (ETA for iOS Obj-C: tomorrow) that should really nail it. Full-Screens are already available for Android Java. Welcome aboard my friends! By the way, we are really impressed with the tips you guys have written. We really learned a lot from your posts. @Absentia -- thanks for creating this topic and for all your contributions. Thanks, Gui

GUI, Looks like you take a personal interest in your product. I definitely appreciate that. Also as stated above, it seems like there is conflict between admob and full screen revmob on android buzztouch 1.4 projects. Is there a known solution for the benefit of everyone in this forum? Thanks in advance, Sevens

@Sevens - would you be kind enough to send me error logs and if possible detail what happens when you try to run both, so I can have my technical team find the answer? I'm a programmer myself so it'd be interesting to solve this issue. Also, can you confirm you're using the latest version of our Android SDK, 3.0.2? Guys, I am also a developer, and I made Ant Smasher which has 25 million downloads on Android and 15 million downloads on iOS. It's one of the top 10 most downloaded games of Android's history. I used AdMob in Ant Smasher for a long time, and that was the primary reason I created RevMob in the first place -- their eCPM is just SO LOW and I as a developer needed way more revenue!!! So for those of you that like me are tired of their low eCPMs at AdMob, we have POPUPs, FULL-SCREENs (for Android only -- iOS arriving tomorrow) and BANNERS (for Android only -- iOS coming in 2-4 weeks) so if you want you can replace AdMob completely. And of course, if you want to run both, we'll do our best to make this happen! It seems AdMob excluded us from their Mediation support -- I wonder why... Just because we're not owned by Google or because we're not Google's friend?! Sorry, Google, our eCPM is way higher than yours (like 25 times) and developers have the right to have a choice. On our end, we certainly allow developers to run every ad network they want and I'm here to make sure you can. Thanks, Gui

@gui - merci beaucoup! I have an Android app that I am going to migrate over to revmob. I am going to be using the guide that absentia and others did, but I might could use some hand holding the first time. I may be sending you an email later. What time zone are you on?

Thanks GUI for coming aboard. Welcome to Buzztouch.

@Daniel LaRusso -- my time zone is GMT-3 which currently is PST+4 and EST+1 ! I answer e-mails almost 24h a day :) @Intrege -- thanks! Thanks again for letting us know about BuzzTouch!

@Daniel LaRusso -- my time zone is GMT-3 which currently is PST+4 and EST+1 ! I answer e-mails almost 24h a day :) @Intrege -- thanks! Thanks again for letting us know about BuzzTouch!

@Gui. Currently placing scripts back in project to recreate previous error log. (Sorry I got frustrated and trashed old projects) Will send.

@Gui http://sevensco.com/Package_explorer_Capture.JPG Verifies 3.0.2 Error log coming soon

Hi guischv, does Revmob allow soft incent?

@gui - would it be possible for you to build a dummy app, or use an existing one, and show me a screenshot of where you put the following code, so I can see exactly where to put it and how it should show up in my Eclipse project? Daniel-san say - teacher teach, student do. Paint fence - up, down, paint house - side-side, wash car - big circle package com.revmob.sample.developer; import android.app.Activity; import com.revmob.RevMobDevs; public class Main extends Activity { // Just replace the ID below with your appID. private static String APPLICATION_ID = "4f56aa6e3dc441000e005a20"; public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); RevMobDevs.showFullscreenAd(this, APPLICATION_ID); } }

Ok guys, some of us have been facing problem with the pop up ad specially in the Simple Menu List Screen, which keeps poping up every time we return to Simple Menu List Screen. I've got a solution to fix that problem. Implementing this solution gives the pop up ad only one chance when the app is launched to show up. Instead of implementing the code either in BT_screen_menuButtons.java file or BT_screen_menuListSimple.java we got to put that code in BT_activity_root_tabs.java. Put the code in onCreate method as under (code is on the last two lines). The rest of the steps remain same as discussed above. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //activity life-cycle events. //onCreate @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); BT_debugger.showIt(activityName + ":onCreate"); String myApplicationId = "Your_Revmob_App_ID"; BCFAds.showPopup(this, myApplicationId);

@Sandeep you are about to be my new hero Can the first stepa to get to where you are be dumbed down any more for me? I have the parts where you add the jar to the libs folder you have to create, but does your step happen immediately after that now? Oh, and isn't there a step after where you change the revision number on the.mainfest.xml ?

@raveyd -- we don't support any form of incentivization, our advertisers don't like that, and Apple doesn't seem to like that either. And honestly we see eCPMs way higher than networks like tapjoy or flurry. @Daniel LaRusso -- thanks for sharing your code, I asked our Fullscreen expert to create an account at BuzzTouch and help you guys out. @Sandeep -- that's a very interesting approach. Actually the popups and fullscreens work BEST on application launch. The eCPM is highest on boot-up and the most impressive results come from apps shown when the application launches. I advise you guys to go for this because this is the way to best monetize your apps. Of course, if you can show the popups in other areas of the game, it'd be even better.

ok, thanks mate.

@gui - thank you SO much for doing that! I'd LOVE to see a video that takes from a new, clean app to the point where you implement a full screen ad - totally dumbed down, basically. I'm really looking forward to implementing it!

@Daniel LaRusso -- deal! I'll get you one until the end of the week!

@Daniel LaRusso sorry for late reply but i was tired last night and went directly off to bed after my last post. here are all the steps you will require to set revmob and submit ur new app to play store. 1. create lib folder in your project and copy the jar file in it (just implement copy paste - the jar file is called revmob3.0.2.jar). 2. right click project file and go to proerties -> java build path -> libraries -> add the jar file from lib folder. Also dont forget to check the checkbox of revmob3.0.2.jar in order and export. 3. Open the BT_activity_root_tabs.java and add import: import com.bcfg.adsclient.BCFAds; 4. In BT_activity_root_tabs.java. Put the code in onCreate method as under (code is on the last two lines). ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //activity life-cycle events. //onCreate @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); BT_debugger.showIt(activityName + ":onCreate"); String myApplicationId = "Your_Revmob_App_ID"; BCFAds.showPopup(this, myApplicationId); 5. Add the wifi permission to the manifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/> 6. Change the version number and version name in manifest xml. More info on it can be found on the following link. http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/versioning.html 7. Export signed application package by right clicking your project file and choose your earlier keystore for the purpose of signing the app. then you are done to submit your app for play store.

@guischv I totally agree with you. The pop ups used to show each and every time so even i used to get annoyed while testing the app. i can only imagine how the end users might be feeling seeing the pop up every now and then. i have plans to implement banner ads on other parts of the app and tried to implement it on BT_screen_customHTML.java and BT_screen_htmlDoc.java file. So far i have no errors on eclipse but when i try to do monkey device test, the app gets crashed with forceclose error. we all here at BT would appreciate if you help us with a step by step video or pdf tutorial in respect of full screen ads and banner ads. lot of members here on BT are not programmers or developers including me so a tutorial would be really helpful to all of us. BTW i found that you developed the Ant Smasher game... I really like that game and kudos to you on developing such a wonderful game.

@Sandeep -- thanks a lot for your compliments! I really think developing a video would be a great idea and I promised to @Daniel LaRusso I would deliver a video until Friday. We'll also try to learn how to use BT so to better explain everything to you guys. If you could email me the error logs @ [email protected] maybe that can help us find the solution more quickly. Really appreciate your help in here and the step-by-step solution you just showed above will definitely help us understand how to best explain everything.

@guischv thats a great news. the vid tuts would really be helpful. i am trying many things right now so the error log of the error i got earlier cannot be sent coz i am working on the same file. but will send you logs of any other errors i get henceforth. Thanks very much that you appreciate my work i am glad that could be of some assistance to my fellow members on bt coz bt has given me a lot in return.

@raveyd -- actually it seems incentivized installs are OK on Android. We are adding incentivized support to our pipeline, so thanks a lot for your suggestion. Thanks for bringing this up mate.

I just want to inform you all that the steps i provided above works only if your app is having a tabbed layout. it dosent work on non-tabbed layout.

hi guys, there is a new documentation on revmob site: sdk.revmob.com; as @guischv said, soon we'll have a vd tutorial to help you. @LaRusso - it seems everything you're doing is correct, please check if you has given "uses-permission" properly in your AndroidManifest.xml file. The "uses-permission" we need are (copy and paste): <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/> In your eclipse, right click in your project and go to Build Path > Configure Build Path - In "Libraries", click in "add jar..." and locate to the revmob jar (usually we put this downloaded jar in a lib folder in the project) - In "Order and Export", check the revmob jar Create a class with this content: package fullscreen.sample; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import com.revmob.RevMobDevs; public class FullscreenActivity extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ private static String APPLICATION_ID = "PUT HERE YOUR APP ID"; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); RevMobDevs.showFullscreenAd(this, APPLICATION_ID); } } change the APPLICATION_ID with your App ID (go to www.revmob.com to see your App ID) In the AndroidManifest.xml, add this activity: <activity android:name=".FullscreenActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> This should work, let me know if you got this working.

@ricardo - thank you! I'm going to try to do this in just a few minutes. Can you put in a link to the documentation that you've updates at revmob.com? I'm just seeing the documentation that was there before. Crossing fingers and hoping this will work out!

i have my revmob working, i just wish i knew how to execute it right after the they click yes or no. because since its in the menulist.java everytime you start it up it goes (which is good) but i also have submenus, so when they go to submenus it pops up everytime they go to it. i need help with that

I agree ceerup

Gui - Thanks for coming here to help us out! Love your take on the eCPM's and trying to fly independent of the Google mothership. Those numbers catch my eye and I'm workign on integrating revmob into an iOS app myself. Excited to hear about those new features! Great idea on creating a dummy app. This will give you guys a better understanding of how BT works. It's not like standard app maker software - it's BETTER because the BT JSON approach allows more dynamic content to be delivered without APP Store Updates. I've loked at flying outside BT with APPS but that feature can't be beat. The BT folks have mined gold here in this area. Let us know if you need help getting that BT app running. An honor to make your acquantince as the inventor of Ant Smasher - my kid has been playing it since age 2! Thanks for being here to help. The Scringo folks did the same and lots of us are having fun with it. Support is key.

Support is key indeed! Is this now the longest thread in forum? 'Make money.....' gets the attention of all it seems.

@ gui Is fullscreen ad support officially available for iOS? I noticed it is now mentioned in the documentation. Also, maybe a dumb question, but should I be using both pop-ups and fullscreen ads or just the fullscreen ads?

hi guys @absentia - yes, ios fullscreen ad is officially available now. You can use popup and/or fullscreen in your app.

@ATRAIN - LOVE the idea of them building a dummy app in Buzztouch, and doing a video or full walkthrough, especially using the fullscreen ad. This whole thing is a great match - glad you came around here gui!

@Absentia -- Fullscreens monetize better than Popups! But if you want you can call both (and create one different App ID for each) and pause/run at http://revmob.com the one that brings in the most revenue! @ATRAIN53 -- Thanks for your help, we'll do our best to get a BT app up and running ASAP. Glad your kid had some fun with Ant Smasher! It's really important for us to get honest and high-quality feedback like yours. @MacApple -- Please let me know if I or Ricardo can help. @Daniel LaRusso -- Ricardo created a BT app sample that should make everything crystal clear to you guys. He'll soon be posting the GitHub link for everyone to be able to download the BT sample app and checkout how the RevMob integration is supposed to work.

Hi guys, we have submitted a very very simple BT project to github with fullscreen ad working. We'll make improves on it soon, but it's a good start to integrate with revmob. github link: https://github.com/revmob-sdk/revmob_buzztouch let me know if you got this working!!

Monetisation aside, it should be good for BT to have a presence in Github. Great that Revmob allow incents too! Thanks guys.

wait, what does that mean that revmob allows incentives ravey? sorry im kind of slow when it comes certain things

@ Gui Awesome thanks a lot for the response! I'm looking forward to checking out the fullscreen ads. One more question if you don't mind - it would appear that my revenue for the day was completely reset this morning. I checked one of my apps this morning and it was at $50 - a couple hours later is was reset to $0. Any explanation for the loss in revenue?

Yes Absentia, same here..i got an email that said this... In order to provide all these features, you guys will lose reporting for today for a brief period. It'll will be back until midnight and it's only an interface issue. These updates will allow us to boost your revenue server-side by implementing better algorithms. For those of you who have global traffic, I'm happy to inform that Fullscreens will be 100% localized to all languages available on iOS and Android. ETA for 100% localization: tomorrow. This is server-side so don't worry about SDKs. All the old SDKs will keep working. Finally, in addition to the increase in eCPM in the SDKs, there should be huge eCPM increases server-side.

@Absentia -- correct, as @ceerup said it'll all be back tomorrow morning. @ceerup, @raveyd -- you can do incents on Android, however there's no SDK support right now so right now you can only incentivize clicks instead of installs, which may increase eCPM. And we'll offer SDK support for this on Android very soon. We'll let you guys know when we do!

@Ceerup - Incentives are when you offer something to your user in exchange for them completing an offer or clicking a banner. For example, a user completes an offer and gets access to premium content on your app. I think they call it 'Freemium' nowadays! Used to be called soft incent. Hard incent is offering cash in exchange for completing an offer. Not many networks offer hard incent anymore, but soft incent is getting more and more popular, especially on Android, where nobody will pay for an app.

Ok now I'm having trouble figuring out how to implement full screen ads in iOS - anybody else have luck?

@Absentia -- If you're implementing it in the delegate, change "self" by the viewController as in: [RevMobAds showFullscreenAdWithAppID:@"4f47e9ed5a804002a012f3c" withViewController:viewController]; Maybe that's what's wrong?

awesome, thanks gang. incentives sound great! so who does incentives? i dont think leadbolt or admob does? revmob?

@ceerup tapjoy is the famous incent network -- however they were banned from Apple a while ago: http://venturebeat.com/2011/05/31/tapjoy-says-apples-ban-on-promos-is-killing-mobile-game-profits/ and their eCPM is LOW too :/ We'll bring SAFE incentivization to RevMob in about a month though.

Guischv are you head of Revmob? I am asking because yesterday it said i had 154 impressions and $1.50 and 1 install, and today it says 0 dollars and 114 impressions 0 installs I emailed them and got an email back saying install reports: $0.00

@ceerup -- yep, as per the email we sent we updated our interface, in a few hours it'll all be back!

Awesome! Congrats on Revmob! its a great tool and helps everyone out!

There are a lot of screens in that github site - which specific ones have the code inserted for RevMob? Again, thank you very much for doing this for us! And I don't know if this is possible, but could you highlight the code that you inserted that's specific to RevMob so it stands out? I'm really excited about this!! One other thing - in this earlier GREAT post by ricardo, you said to create a class with this content (content pasted below). How do you create a class? I'm thinking you just right click on the project, and go New -> Java Class. But are there any specifics that I need to know about source index, package, and name at the very beginning? (I think I'm really, really close to having this done!!!): Create a class with this content: package fullscreen.sample; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import com.revmob.RevMobDevs; public class FullscreenActivity extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ private static String APPLICATION_ID = "PUT HERE YOUR APP ID"; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); RevMobDevs.showFullscreenAd(this, APPLICATION_ID); } }

@LaRusso - you're right!! there are many things in github. The RevMob code are two lines only, located in BT_activity_base.java. The url is https://github.com/revmob-sdk/revmob_buzztouch/blob/master/src/com/revmobdemo/BT_activity_base.java Look for lines with "RevMob"! There are comments to help!

@ricardo - MUCH OBLIGED!!! I got that part with the BT_activity_base.java, and I got the manifest.xml part. I think that the one missing piece is this (from a little earlier post): You said to create a class with the content pasted below. How do you create a class? I'm thinking you just right click on the project, and go New -> Java Class. But are there any specifics that I need to know about source index, package, and name at the very beginning? (I think I'm really, really close to having this done!!!): Create a class with this content: package fullscreen.sample; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import com.revmob.RevMobDevs; public class FullscreenActivity extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ private static String APPLICATION_ID = "PUT HERE YOUR APP ID"; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); RevMobDevs.showFullscreenAd(this, APPLICATION_ID); } }

@ gui Well there are really a number of things that I'm lost on - I, like many other buzztouch users, am very inexperienced with coding. I get confused easily without very direct instructions - For instance the tutorial on your site contains this line - "In UIViewController header file (.h files) of your choice or class that have a reference to the UIViewController, add an import statement for "RevMobAds.h" and import the library." - lines like that are hard for me to interpret because they aren't completely specific about the exact place to add "RevMobAds.h" I don't expect you to type up an idiots guide or anything :P I'm sure your documentation works fine for the majority of people. I fully expect somebody else on here will figure it out eventually and post a buzztouch tutorial

Hi any chance some one can put together an idiots guide to integrating RevMob Ads into both iOS and Android apps, as I just don't understand the process that many of you guy's have added to this post and I'm just stuck and don't get it, especially on iOS. Any help will be appreciated.

wow. thanks for the github and efforts ricardo and gui! great to see some sample code, that is the best way to really learn how to tweek the code. see it working in action then play with it. can't wait to get my app done so i can put revmob in it and see some eCPM's. designing and scheming currently.... Ant Smasher has saved many an outing. iphone/ipods work great for toddlers. the touch screen interface is a winner. this is why PC games never took off. Reader Rabbit on the PC was hard - but Reader Rabbit on the ipad my kid is excelling at it. whats the chance you guys would one up us here and talk a little bit about animation and what SDK's you use to build games like Ant Smasher. I've been studying Gamesalad a bit and looking to do some basic animation of a single image. say a corporate logo for instance..... so many tools/tutorials to look at. any tips in the right direction, stuff you guys like and would recommend would be great. thanks!

@LaRusso - We are learning how BT works and actually, i haven't created any class in the sample app. When you create a BT project, you can download a project with a BIG scaffold and you must identify where you put the RevMob code, depending of your project. So, when i downloaded the project, the BT_activity_base.java was in the scaffold and i just added the RevMob code there. I belive you must identify where you want to put ads in your BT project e look for the correct part of the scaffold to load the ads.

@ Gui I'm using bt 1.5 for iOS with revmob fullscreen Like Absentia, I had no problem implementing the pop up ads but have had problems with the full screen. Followed your advice: -- If you're implementing it in the delegate, change "self" by the viewController as in: -- [RevMobAds showFullscreenAdWithAppID:@"4f47e9ed5a804002a012f3c" withViewController:viewController]; But still doesn't work. Think it has something to do with this self.viewController stuff which wasn't in the original pop up instructions, but just removing the .self didn't work: ---// self.viewController must be initialized [RevMobAds showFullscreenAdWithAppID:@"4f47e9ed5a804002a012f3c" withViewController:self.viewController]; ---} ---- (void)dealloc { if (self.viewController) [self.viewController release]; [super dealloc]; ---} Could we get a step-by-step on this for buzztouch? Thanks

Guys OK I'll get Paulo to create a BT iOS project!!! @Absentia -- you're totally right, actually we found a much simpler way to do this. just insert everything on your UIDelegate (we updated the documentation yesterday to reflect this). and pass a viewController, as in: [RevMobAds showFullscreenAdWithAppID:@"4f47e9ed5a804002a012f3c" withViewController:viewController]; In any case, make sure you download the new SDK we released yesterday because it contains better examples! We'll post a new SDK soon with even better and more simple examples and better explanations. @Dragon007 -- same holds true, please download the newest iOS SDK because the documentation is better and it is better explained. We're preparing a new SDK with even simpler documentation, should be out by tomorrow. @ATRAIN53 -- Ant Smasher was built using the native Android and iOS tools! I didn't graduate a programmer. I learned programming by myself, it's not that hard and I like it... So I don't really know much about engines like GameSalad. I did it all by myself. @AppOneBeta -- same goes, try to download newest SDK. I'll get Paulo to create a BT iOS project!

That would be awesome I feel like I'm getting closer - these are the steps I go through: 1. I add #import "RevMobAds.h" to my appDelegate.h 2. I add "RevMobAdsDelegate" right next to "UIApplicationDelegate" in the @interface line in my appDelegate.h 3. I add the line "@property (strong, nonatomic) UIViewController *viewController;" to my appDelegate.h 4. I add the line "[RevMobAds showFullscreenAdWithAppID:@"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"withViewController:self.viewController];" to my appDelegate.m inside the "didfinishlaunchingwithoptions" method The app compiles succesfully, but crashes immediately upon launch - anybody notice something I am doing wrong?

@Absentia, i'm getting the same. Probably due to getting errors in 'h' beforehand: Property 'viewController' requires method 'setViewController:' to be defined - use @synthesize, @dynamic or provide a method... And a similar error for 'viewcontroller'

@Absentia -- you're definitely almost there. Problem is you don't need to do step 3, you actually need to skip step 3. the viewController in step 4 should be already in the delegate. Can you take a look and see if there's any viewControllers already there and use that one? If there's no view controllers there, then do: UIViewController *vc = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] rootViewController]; [RevMobAds showFullscreenAdWithAppID:@"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" withViewController:vc];

Is there anyone here who has successfully implemented the full page revmob ad into their android app?

@Gui Just followed your last piece of advice to @Absentia. Definite improvement. Xcode 'All Output' now shows: "2012-06-07 03:21:26.784 walkingdead[5973:207] [RevMob] Showing Fullscreen Ad" Yet, for some reason I can't see the ad in the fullscreen? Any ideas why anyone? (note: PopUps do show)

Maybe the following means revmob ads are working but needs to be tested on a real device to be seen - not in the simulator?? Tried revmob fullscreen ad at app startup and doesn't show on screen but xcode shows the following: 2012-06-07 03:38:28.399 appname[6361:207] [RevMob] Succeeded!

@gui I could not find any view controllers to use so I used the example you gave The app launches fine - the output box even says "Showing Fullscreen Ad", but no advertisement appears :( So basically I'm getting the exact same results as AppOne - I am testing this ON my device by the way

@AppOneBeta, @Absentia -- we found the issue. This is happening on BT apps only because the rootViewController trick doesn't work on BT. I think in about 4 hours we'll have the solution! Thanks a lot for your help!

@guischv Thats a wonderful news for all of us on BT. We all have been looking for Revmob Fullscreen ads and Banner ads to work on our apps. Gui i really appreciate your interest in solving this puzzle and for such a wonderful support. I have seen many other sites who dont even care to address the developers problems. You guys at Revmob are really an exception to it. Kudos to you guys.

@AppOneBeta, @Absentia -- WE FOUND THE SOLUTION. UIViewController *parentViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; [self.window addSubview:parentViewController.view]; [RevMobAds showFullscreenAdWithAppID:@"4f340cc09dcb890003003a6a" withViewController:parentViewController]; Don't forget to change the App ID for the one you guys have. @Sandeep -- actually we realize publishers are the most important element in our business model. So we treat them like we love them. :)

OK. Add these where?

@Sevens -- Updating the step-by-step guide Absentia was kind enough to create: 1. I add #import "RevMobAds.h" to my appDelegate.h 2. I add "RevMobAdsDelegate" right next to "UIApplicationDelegate" in the @interface line in my appDelegate.h 3. Add inside the - (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application method the following code: UIViewController *parentViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; [self.window addSubview:parentViewController.view]; [RevMobAds showFullscreenAdWithAppID:@"4f340cc09dcb890003003a6a" withViewController:parentViewController];

what about android? i dont see any of that

I'm with you ceerup. With all the back and forth between Android and iPhone, I'd love to see a full Android walkthrough. Sorry if I'm seeming redundant and dumb here, but I see a lot of potential for Android as well, and would really like to use RevMob @raveyd gave this GREAT tutorial at the beginning of the thread which works for the popups: Add jar file to a lib (or libs) folder and built the path. My app uses a button menu for the home page, so I've put the code in the BT_screen_menuButtons.java file, but the same revmob code can go in any screen you like. Add import: import com.bcfg.adsclient.BCFAds; Then I've put the revmob code in the onCreate method below this line: LinearLayout baseView = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.baseView); So it looks like this: LinearLayout baseView = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.baseView); String myApplicationId = "xxxx -id number- xxxxxx"; BCFAds.showPopup(this, myApplicationId); //setup background colors... And I've just added the wifi permission to the manifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/> But I'm unclear on how to do the full page ad.

@ceerup, @Daniel LaRusso -- for Android, please see BT app Ricardo was kind enough to create: https://github.com/revmob-sdk/revmob_buzztouch let us know if you have any questions.

@guischv - I did look at that, and it's about as clear as mud. Earlier, ricardo also said that you only have to modify two lines of code, which are here (this is what Ricardo said earlier) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- @LaRusso - you're right!! there are many things in github. The RevMob code are two lines only, located in BT_activity_base.java. The url is https://github.com/revmob-sdk/revmob_buzztouch/blob/master/src/com/revmobdemo/BT_activity_base.java Look for lines with "RevMob"! There are comments to help! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The thing is, there's got to be more to it than that. I know that it probably took Ricardo just a few minutes to get this inserted in his app,and it probably took him longer to learn how to do Buzztouch, but he's likely 1) a programmer, 2) full time with RevMob, or a combination of both, so it comes naturally to him. I know that you're bending over backwards for us, but I think maybe people like me and ceerup and others could use a dumbed down, only what we need guide, with screenshots, if that's at all possible. Even just a step chart, like: 1 2 3 4 Sort of like you already have at RevMob, would help me tremendously. My end goal, and probably ceerup's (on your recommendation) is to serve up full page ads. Edited to add: even on those github screenshots, the folder is called "lib", and we've been told time and time again to name it "libs" It's just confusing with all this back and forth. If anyone can build a basic,dummy app with one screen, then do a video or screenshots of implementing RevMob, that would likely do the trick. If I can ever get this figured out, I'll do it! :)

if the 2 lines of code is just in the activity_base.java the ones im looking at, then its easy. let me do that now and see what happens

They have videos of all kinds of speed implementation of sdk's. That would be incredibly helpful here. @GUI trust me sir, we would have given up long time ago if we weren't truly interested in ACTUALLY using your service. So be encouraged that you will have great fans and users after all this trouble.

@Daniel LaRusso, @ceerup, @Sevens -- sorry guys we'll build a video for Android and iOS!

one question Gui, how long does it take for the data to refresh and to see how much you have in earnings? im using the older sdk at the moment

My hat's off to you, gui. You are very much stepping up and accommodating us over here. Here's to the return for us all being substantial! :)

@ceerup -- maximum 5 minutes!

and how exactly does it work, the user has to install the game and play it or something for me to get money? because there was 252 requests, and only 1 install. just wondering how exactly do you get paid

@ceerup -- you get paid on the # of installs. user only has to install and open the game (doesn't need to do anything after that)

Ohh, Someone i was playing a game with on my Xbox downloaded my app, and asked what the popup was, i said it was advertising but the games are really free though, and he said hes gonna try a free game, and said he installed it, but i guess he lied because im still at only 1 install instead of 2

Hi guys, we've posted in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SF7OIIFRwE a video showing a basic integration with RevMob on Android Platform. Soon we'll post a video for IOS too.

@All -- Video was just posted by Ricardo in the above comment. Sorry it took us so long and the iOS video will be ready on Monday!

HOLY SMOKES!! Ricardo and guischv - BRAVO!!! I've got it working, no problem at all. The full screen ad looks great, and doesn't take away from the app at all. The only thing is, it only shows for about a half a second. I couldn't even read the full content of the ad. Someone who wanted to download a game wouldn't have time to click on it to download it. Is there a way to make it on a 3 second delay or something? Or would you advise putting the pop-up ads on the main screen as well? All in all - that YouTube video did the trick. I can't believe how much more complicated I was trying to make this!! Are banner ads this easy to do, because I'll be totally switching over to RevMob if I can do that!

@ gui First of all thank you for all of the assistance so far...it is extremely appreciated. Unfortunately though, your latest iOS solution has produced the same result - the app launches and I get the message "Showing Fullscreen Ad" in the output box, but nothing shows up on my device. I made sure that I used the correct app id and that the ads were running. I've included these screenshots of my project with the rev mob code highlighted - do you see anything that I am missing? The screenshots show the placeholder app id, but I tested it with my own Here is a screenshot of my delegate.h with the RevMob code highlighted - http://s13.postimage.org/haq02l22f/Screen_Shot_2012_06_07_at_4_29_29_PM.png Here is a screenshot of my delegate.m with the RevMob code highlighted - http://s15.postimage.org/6cx43b9kr/Screen_Shot_2012_06_07_at_4_30_09_PM.png

AHA I got it working - I just added this line - UIViewController *parentViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; [self.window addSubview:parentViewController.view]; [RevMobAds showFullscreenAdWithAppID:@"4f340cc09dcb890003003a6a" withViewController:parentViewController]; to the BOTTOM of the DidFinishLaunchingWithOptions method, right before the line "return TRUE" - here's a screenshot if anybody needs it http://s15.postimage.org/671sj6tyz/Screen_Shot_2012_06_07_at_4_48_33_PM.png thanks again for all the help gui! I wish I could fast-forward a week and see the update results

very easy android tutorial..wow that was easy..Awesome Thanks guys!

ok 1 question how do i get it to work on an app that has menu lists, the last 1 i tried was a tabbed layout. nothing showing up hmm

Dudes - I can't believe how easy it was to integrate RevMob. I was WAY overcomplicating things, and that video totally showed me that. Implementing RevMob took, literally, about 2 minutes. I guess that's because I'm really familiar now with those libs folders, and the build and stuff, but it's SO easy to install the full screen ads. And they look great. I will likely get some negative comments on the app, but I don't really care. I've lately realized that the people who are prone to review and app are those who will do a negative review. I'll get some positive ones because of the app, but I'm ok with the negative reviews if they come. I did go and just unpublish my old app because I wanted to change the package name also, but it was easy. Unfortunately, it won't be totally live for another couple of hours, but that's ok. If this works out like I hope it will, I'm ditching Leadbolt totally, which is having some problems now anyway. Thanks for all the great support, gui and Ricardo! Good on ya!

@ Gui believe it or not I've encountered another problem :P After implementing the code as was mentioned in my above post, the app compiles fine and the fullscreen ads do show up. Only after closing the ad, my menu buttons are completely unresponsive - any ideas? I am definitely look forward to the iOS video

@Daniel LaRusso -- banner ads are as easy as fullscreens! you should definitely give them a try! @Absentia -- I know what's going on. Try replacing your code for this: UIViewController *vc = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; self.window.rootViewController = vc; [RevMobAds showFullscreenWithAppID:@"appid goes here" withViewController:vc]; @ceerup -- you just need to find a place where inserting the code works. can you give it a try?
