Android Insert a BANNER AD with AdMob...

[ArtCode]

Hello to everyone,
I'm creating a little free videogame for Android, but also I want to add Ads.
I created a Google AdMob account and all necessary.
I created an AD with his ID, now I'm following this Official Guide but it doesn't works.

Here is my code:
To do this I created 2 empty Objects and insert them to the room.

obj_LoadAds
GAME START Event

GoogleMobileAds_Init(ca-app-pub-7345505760380035/6302105897);
GoogleMobileAds_LoadInterstitial();

obj_BannerAd
GAME START Event

GoogleMobileAds_AddBannerAt("ca-app-pub-7345505760380035/6302105897", GoogleMobileAds_Banner, 0, 0);

This are only few lines of code but still I have some problems...
The error message is:

Variable obj_LoadAds.banner(100003, -2147483648) not set before reading it.
at gml_Object_obj_LoadAds_StartGameEvent_1 (line 3) - GoogleMobileAds_Init(banner);

The messagge is saying that the Object is NOT set in the room, but he is present....

Remember to put ads on TEST MODE or you will be banned from adMob.

The error you are having in this line

GoogleMobileAds_Init(ca-app-pub-7345505760380035/6302105897);

it should be in this way

GoogleMobileAds_Init("ca-app-pub-7345505760380035/6302105897");

that thing is a STRING not a variable inside game maker so must be inside "


also you are loading a intirtistial but you want to show a banner

you should not cast
GoogleMobileAds_LoadInterstitial();

Thanks a lot for your answer!!! Its very clear!
Another little question, how I put the ad on TEST MODE? I need to set this from the AdMob's website?

 

[klys]

For set adMob in test mode you first need to execute your game from Game Maker Studio compiling the apk, a Console will pop up and it will say something like "For testing device use ....." you have to copy only the CODE, then in Game Maker Studio set the code with this line

GoogleMobileAds_UseTestAds(true, "CODE_GOES_HERE");

that is it!

Your wellcome!
