Doubleclick for Publishers (DFP) module for Titanium Mobile

DFP Module

Description

This is a Titanium Mobile module for displaying DFP ads in your app. Jason Priebe started with Appcelerator's admob module, followed a few things that Wienke Giezeman did to add DFP support, updated to the latest Google Mobile Ads SDK and Google Play Services, and then brought the APIs for iOS and android into sync.

Quick Start

Android: add this to your tiapp.xml (otherwise the app won't start)

<manifest>
    <application>
        <!-- Sample AdMob app ID: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713 -->
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
            android:value="ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~yyyyyyyyyy"/>
    </application>
</manifest>

Installation

• Download ZIP from https://github.com/m1ga/ti.dfp/releases/
• place it inside your app root folder
• add <module>ti.dfp</module> to tiapp.xml
• compile your app

ti.dfp's Issues

Old Google SDK

An update would be great :-)

Google:HTML You are currently using version 6.12.2 of the SDK, which doesn't officially support iOS 8. Please consider updating your SDK to the most recent sdk version, 7.1.0, to get iOS 8 support, including a fix for smart banner rendering in landscape mode. The latest SDK can be downloaded from http://goo.gl/iGzfsP. A full list of release notes is available at https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/ios/rel-notes.

Richmedia ads

Hi, do you plan to support richmedia (Video and HTML5 ads) and new ad sizes in future releases?

Is 300x250 ad size currently supported on the current release of this module?

Thanks in advance
Pablo

Support for FLUID adSizes

Would be nice if this could be implemented:

Android: https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/dfp/android/native-styles
iOS: https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/dfp/ios/native-styles

[iOS] banner from DFP not aligned correctly

When serving a banner directly from DFP, all banners are aligned incorrectly. There's a padding on the left and top.

In both cases the banner view is positioned fixed, bottom 0, left 0, right 0. Please mail me for a test ad-unit that demonstrates the issue.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

Hi,

I got this exception when using calling ti.dfp's createView() on Android

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/android/gms/ads/doubleclick/PublisherAdView

I assume this is because we are meant to include the native DFP SDK's jar ourselves? If so, which directory should put the jar? I can't find anything in ti.dfp doc/readme.

Thanks

Hi. I am trying to compile and I get the following errors (1st for device, 2nd for simulator).

New build for SDK 6+

Would be appreciated :-)

New build for SDK 7+

Would be nice, thanks!

Expandable ads

Hi,

We are having an issue whereby when clicking an expandable ad, instead of getting maximized to take up the full screen, it's instead getting maximized within a small view (see screenshot below).

A couple of questions:

1. Has anyone encountered a similar issue?
2. Do you know if this is caused by this module or caused by other things (e.g. the native DFP SDK used by the module)?

Thanks

Interstitial example?

Can you provide an interstitial example? I tried using "dfp.createInterstitialView" with no luck.
Thanks

Can't compile source module

For some reason I get this error when I try to build to module:

Cannot get it to work

I'm trying to add the example you give in this module to my application, however I'm getting the following exception:

Can you please guide me to a solution?

No support for Multiple Adsizes

Unfortunately not supported by this module, but seems to be a great feature (and yet not difficult to implement)

More info: https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/dfp/ios/banner#multiple_ad_sizes

NSCalendarsUsageDescription and NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription

Got following from Apple:

Missing Info.plist key - This app attempts to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSCalendarsUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.

bannerview in a listView

Hi Jason, we're trying to implement a bannerview in a listView. Do you think this is possible?

We've tried to add it to the header/footerview, but this view won't accept Ti.UI.SIZE for example. Best scenario would be if we could add it between the listView items, on position X.

Any ideas are welcome :-)

Create View is causing app to crash

Hi,

I am using your app.js example and when I call createView I am getting the following error:

"Could not find class 'com.google.android.gms.ads.doubleclick.PublisherAdView', referenced from method ti.dfp.View.createView"

Can I get some help, please?

Here is a more complete log:

can't build v1.1.4 due to incorrect path in module.xconfig

You forgot to update the path from

FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS=$(SRCROOT)/../../modules/iphone/ti.dfp/1.1.3/platform

to

FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS=$(SRCROOT)/../../modules/iphone/ti.dfp/1.1.4/platform

So building the app fails...

Android : Crashes in listview

Adding the module in a listview crashes the app.

Alloy.js:
DFP = require('ti.dfp');

listview.xml:
<View ns="DFP" id="dfp"/>

Putting it outside a listview works fine.
