I am trying to integrate AdMob into my cocos2d Game and I having some problems. Basically the ad shows up but when I click on it, the banner disappears and the full view doesn't show up. I am using a slight modified version of the code found on google admob page. Here is my code:
-(void) addAdMobBanner{
NSLog(#"adding Admob");
controller = [[RootViewController alloc]init];
CGSize size = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize];
controller.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,size.width,size.height);
// Create a view of the standard size at the bottom of the screen.
bannerView = [[GADBannerView alloc]
initWithFrame:CGRectMake(size.width/2+50,
size.height-GAD_SIZE_468x60.height,
GAD_SIZE_468x60.width,
GAD_SIZE_468x60.height)];
// Specify the ad's "unit identifier." This is your AdMob Publisher ID.
bannerView.adUnitID = #"xxxxxxxxxxxx";
// Let the runtime know which UIViewController to restore after taking
// the user wherever the ad goes and add it to the view hierarchy.
bannerView.rootViewController = controller;
[controller.view addSubview:bannerView];
[[[CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView]addSubview : controller.view];
[bannerView loadRequest:[GADRequest request]];
}
Thanks guys
It doesn't work on a simulator but it works on the device, but if you are using in the landscape mode you have to transform it yourselves.

I've made a game in using cocos2d and have integrated an admob banner in the appdelegate so that it is displayed on all view controllers. Ive implemented a remove ads feature which happens in the "game over" screen. Here is my problem. The remove ads function works but does not take affect immediately. I have to kill the app and restart it for the banner to go away. Is there a way to just reload the appdelegate and the ads are removed instantly instead of having to reload the app? PLEASE HELP This is driving me crazy.
EDITED: HERE IS MY CURRENT CODE. THE BANNER LOADS WHEN THE APP LOADS I AM TRYING TO MAKE THE BANNER GO AWAY WHEN THE USER PURCHASES TO REMOVE IT WITHOUT HAVING TO RESTART THE APP(CLOSE THE APP RESTART)
AppDelegate.h
#import "GADBannerViewDelegate.h"
// Added only for iOS 6 support
#interface MyNavigationController : UINavigationController <CCDirectorDelegate>
#end
#class RootViewController;
#class GADBannerView, GADRequest;
#interface AppController : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate,ADBannerViewDelegate,UIActionSheetDelegate, GKLeaderboardViewControllerDelegate, GameCenterManagerDelegate,ChartboostDelegate,GADBannerViewDelegate>
{
UIWindow *window_;
MyNavigationController *navController_;
CCDirectorIOS *director_;
UIViewController *tempVC; // weak ref
RootViewController *viewController_;
//Admob
GADBannerView *bannerView_;
BOOL isAdPositionAtTop_;
}
AppDelegate.m i use calladmob to start ads if removeads is "no"
-(void)callAdMob{
//Admob ads
CGPoint origin = CGPointMake(0.0,self.window.frame.size.height -CGSizeFromGADAdSize(kGADAdSizeSmartBannerPortrait).height);
bannerView_ = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeSmartBannerPortrait origin:origin];
bannerView_.adUnitID = #"idhere";
bannerView_.delegate = self;
[bannerView_ setRootViewController:tempVC];
CGRect adBannerViewFrame = [bannerView_ frame];
int lSizeValue=0;
if([[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize].width==320)
lSizeValue=50;
else if([[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize].width==768)
lSizeValue=66;
adBannerViewFrame.origin.x = 0;
adBannerViewFrame.origin.y = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize].height-lSizeValue;
[bannerView_ setFrame:adBannerViewFrame];
[[self navController].view addSubview:bannerView_];
[bannerView_ loadRequest:[self createRequest]];}
Why not send a notification from your "remove ads" function?
And then anywhere you have an AdMob banner, you can add an observer that watches for that notification and the method that gets called would do something like:
[bannerView removeFromSuperview] or bannerView.hidden = YES
provided you have your AdMob banner connected to an IBOutlet.
I have developed a game in cocos2dx for iOS.Now i integrated banner view for show admob banner ad.
i write code for admob in appController class like that.
NSLog(#"ADMOB");
CGSize winSize = [[CCDirector sharedDirector]winSize];
bannerView_ = [[GADBannerView alloc]
initWithFrame:CGRectMake(size.width/2-160,
size.height -
GAD_SIZE_320x50.height,
GAD_SIZE_320x50.width,
GAD_SIZE_320x50.height)];
bannerView_.adUnitID =#"a*******";
bannerView_.delegate=self;
[viewController.view bannerView_];
bannerView_.rootViewController = viewController;
[bannerView_ loadRequest:[GADRequest request]];
GADRequest request = [[GADRequest alloc] init];
request.testing = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
GAD_SIMULATOR_ID, nil];
[bannerView_ loadRequest:request];
Now I have to hide or remove admob banner ad from cpp class. So I have to call C++ class to objective. C++ call and then call to appcontroller class. and suppose to de remove banner view like that
[bannerView removeFromSuperview];
[bannerView setDelegate:nil];
[bannerView release];
bannerView = nil;
but banner view not removing from that call.
please help me to getting out from this issues.
any help will be appreciated.
Is your ad getting displayed properly,
since this line does nothing:-
[viewController.view bannerView_];
Shouldn't be this like
[viewController.view addSubview:bannerView_];
I initialize my CCLayer using the following init code:
- (id)init {
if((self=[super init])) {
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.delegate = self;
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
picker.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES;
picker.allowsEditing = NO;
picker.showsCameraControls = NO;
picker.navigationBarHidden = YES;
picker.toolbarHidden = YES;
picker.cameraViewTransform= CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1.3, 1.33);
[[[CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview:picker.view];
CCSprite *gold = [CCSprite sprite];
gold.position = ccp(150, 150);
[self addChild:gold];
}
return self;
}
The CCSprite was above the camera view before the camera shutter opens, but when the shutter opens, the CCSprite is overlapped by the camera.
Can I rearrange the order of these 2 objects / put the camera view to the back ?
Not without some extra work.
To understand this you have to consider that you're adding the camera view to the openGLView by Cocos2D. This makes the camera view a "child" view of the Cocos2D view. This is similar to adding a child node to a CCScene or CCLayer, and then wanting to have that node drawn behind the scene or layer. You can't do this without changing the way the view hierarchy is setup.
So you will have to modify Cocos2D's startup so that the openGLView is not added to the UIWindow directly, but to another UIView.
UIView* dummyView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[window bounds]];
[dummyView autorelease];
[dummyView addSubview:[CCDirector sharedDirector].openGLView];
rootViewController.view = dummyView;
You can then add the camera view to the dummyView (not the openGLView or you'll have the same problem as before) and perform sendSubviewToBack on it so that it is in the background.
You will also have to initialize the OpenGL view of Cocos2D with kEAGLColorFormatRGBA8 pixelFormat in order to provide an alpha channel.
EAGLView* glView = [EAGLView viewWithFrame:[window bounds]
pixelFormat:kEAGLColorFormatRGBA8
depthFormat:0
preserveBackbuffer:NO
sharegroup:nil
multiSampling:NO
numberOfSamples:0];
You also need to make the openGLView transparent:
[CCDirector sharedDirector].openGLView.opaque = NO;
Of course this only works if you don't render anything fullscreen on the cocos2d view. For example, if you provide a fullscreen background image for your Cocos2D view, nothing will show up because the background image is rendered on top of the camera view.
You can find a more detailed explanation in the second edition of my book. You can also download the book's source code from that link and see the examples of chapter 15. Or download Kobold2D and use the provided Cocos2D-With-UIKit-Views template project.
I have a Tabbar control (as the root control).
In the first tab, I have a split view, which I programmatically created like so:
UISplitViewController *split = [[[UISplitViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
split.navigationItem.title = #"All";
MasterSplitViewController *root = [[[MasterSplitViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
root.navigationItem.title = #"Areas";
root.detailViewController = detail;
UINavigationController *nav = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:root] autorelease];
split.tabBarItem = controller.tabBarItem;
split.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: nav, detail, nil];
split.delegate = detail;
Everything works fine, except... If I start the app in Landscape mode, then the layout breaks a bit on the Master view.
If the app starts in Portrait, then I rotate to Landscape, then it is fine.
The only scenario when it breaks is when the app starts in Landscape.
When this happens, I check the console and see this message:
Using two-stage rotation animation. To use the smoother single-stage animation, this application must remove two-stage method implementations. BUT I am not using a two-stage rotation anywhere!!
These 2 functions are overridden:
shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation and willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation
Please see the attached screen shot.

Please help me. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much!!
I had this problem.
Add this code to AppDelegate.m.
self.tabBarController.selectedIndex = 0;
Okay, I've been trying to display the Game Center leaderboards in my Cocos2d iPhone game.
I have progressed and I got this piece of code:
- (void) showLeaderboard {
tempVC=[[UIViewController alloc] init];
GKLeaderboardViewController *leaderboardController = [[GKLeaderboardViewController alloc] init];
if (leaderboardController != nil)
{
leaderboardController.leaderboardDelegate = self;
[[[CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview:tempVC.view];
[tempVC presentModalViewController:leaderboardController animated: YES];
}
}
When I run that in the simulator, I see it becomes portrait mode, so I know something happened. BUT nothing appears. No leaderboards come out. What is wrong?
My application is already linked with the iTunes thingy.
I am authenticated at the beginning of the game sucessfully.
I already submitted scores (with a nice thing called GameKitHelper)
Go to the AppDelegate.m and change:
[window addSubview: viewController.view];
to
window.rootViewController = viewController;
then call it
GameKitHelper* gkHelper = [GameKitHelper sharedGameKitHelper];
[gkHelper showLeaderboard];
This works on cocos2d 1.0.0 RC1
