I am quite new into Java and Android Apps, so , while this may be cake for others it gives me some headache .
The app should load , play a sound file , and close . And it works fine without the AdMob .
With the AdMob it starts , vibrates once ( it doesnt in the normal version ) , runs normally , and then gets stuck , vibrates 3 times , and closes throwing a " Sorry! The application NAME ( process PROCESS.NAME ) has stopped unexpectedly . Please try again " .
I`m on my second app , and my first AdMob integration.
The SDK instructions I followed : http://www.admob.com/docs/AdMob_Android_SDK_Instructions.pdf
What I did :
- Registered
- Got the SDK
- Added the .jar
- Added the pub ID , AdMobActivity definition and Track Market Installs code from the SDK Instructions at the end of AndroidManifest.xml and edited the pub ID
- Added the internet permission
- Added "ADMOB_ALLOW_LOCATION_FOR_ADS" too
- Added "AdMob AdView Attributes" to attrs.xml ( I use Eclipse , so I first tried to add this to res/values/strings.xml , then made a new xml and added the code to it )
If full code is needed I will edit this post. Any help is appreciated .
Thank you in advance
Chris
(LogCat throws two small errors without the AdMob files ( I //-ed the import and AdView ) )
