[pcamargo75]

Hi everyone.

I ve already use Monaca for a long time. Is there a way to integrate my app with admob?
Is Yes, How can I do this?

Thank you

@pcamargo75 To utilize admob, you need this plugin: https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-admob-pro

Then all you do is add this Javascript:

// This is a JavaScript file
var admobid = {};
if( /(android)/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) { 
    admobid = { // for Android
        banner: 'ca-app-pub-XXXXXXX',
       // interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-XXXXXXX'
    };
} else if(/(ipod|iphone|ipad)/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
    admobid = { // for iOS
        banner: 'ca-app-pub-XXXXXXX',
       // interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-XXXXXXX'
    };
} else {
    admobid = { // for Windows Phone
        banner: 'ca-app-pub-XXXXXXX',
        // interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-XXXXXXX'
    };
}

if(( /(ipad|iphone|ipod|android|windows phone)/i.test(navigator.userAgent) )) {
    document.addEventListener('deviceready', initApp, false);
} else {
    initApp();
}

function initApp() {
    if (! AdMob ) { alert( 'admob plugin not ready' ); return; }

    AdMob.createBanner( {
        adId: admobid.banner, 
        isTesting: false,
        overlap: false, 
        offsetTopBar: false, 
        position: AdMob.AD_POSITION.BOTTOM_CENTER,
        bgColor: 'black'
    } );
    /*
    AdMob.prepareInterstitial({
        adId: admobid.interstitial,
        autoShow: true
    });
*/
}

This is just for displaying a banner ad at the bottom. Check out the plugin docs for more information as you can do all sorts of stuff. Don’t forget you must register with AdMob and input your account ID.

You can also set isTesting: true; so you can do test ads.

Thanks, but how I can install this plugin?

@pcamargo75 What platform are you using? Monaca Cloud, CLI, Visual Studio?

[pcamargo75]

Monaca Cloud

[munsterlander]

@pcamargo75 Free version or paid developer version?

[pcamargo75]

Free Version

[munsterlander]

@pcamargo75 You won’t be able to. Only paid versions can do custom cordova plugins. If you upgrade, here is how you do it:
