adsAutoSwitcher – Appcelerator Titanium script to rotate Admob and iAds on iOS applications

Ads-auto-switcher-for-Titanium

adsAutoSwitcher.js is a (commonJS) script that allow you to use both iAds and Admob at the same place within a ©Titanium iOS project. It works with ti.admob module(1.3) : With this script, per default, Admob is always shown, while iAds is shown (on top of admob) and hidden during some seconds.  I made it to simplify my life when i need to manage ads within my applications Wink The script manages to move and/or to resize an UI object when ads are visible. Be carefull with admob when closing a window. The module ti.admob is not really good to stop a refreshing admob..Thinking

adsAutoSwitcher.js is freely available on gitbub

[updated 2012/25/11] New major version !  adsAutoSwitcher V2. The updated V2 changelog is :

  • Rewrite and simplification for ads.js, renammed as adsAutoSwitcher
  • Compatible with Ti SDK > 2
  • commonJS archi
  • And really so much easier to use now!! Smile

How To use :

This adsAutoSwitcher prints the ads on top of a tableview object by moving it down The ads are delayed of 2sec
Before : tableview top = 0, height = 200
After : top = 50, height = 200

  1.  
  2. var myAds = require ('modules/adsAutoSwither');
  3. var ads = new myAds();
  4. ads.setAdmobPublisherId('myAdmobKey');
  5. ads.setIadsShowHide('iAdsShowHide.Window');
  6. ads.setGlobalDelayStart(2000);
  7. ads.showAdvert(tableView,'move','top');

Same as before, but now, the tableview is resized from its top
Before : tableview top = 0, height = 200
After : top = 50, height = 150

  1. [...]
  2. ads.showAdvert(tableView,'resize','top');

Same as before, but now, the tableview is resized from its bottom
Before : tableview top = 0, height = 200.
After : top = 0, height = 150, so bottom is now 150

  1. [...]
  2. ads.showAdvert(tableView,'resize','bottom');

Fixed banner at top = 120. No UI object resized or moved

  1. [...]
  2. ads.setAdsTopInit(120);
  3. ads.showAdvert(tableView,'','');

    Hi Dave,
    sorry for the delay.. i saw your comment, but forgot itThinking
    Well i don’t know what to say about your problem.
    I guess I need more information to help you.
    I’m using my script with tableview too, and have no pb. (Look at iAdditifs or myQRCode on the AppStore).

    Hey. Thanks for posting this script. I’m hoping to get it working. I am getting a WARNING when I test it however.

    “Invalid dimension value (nan) requested. Making the dimension undefined instead.”

    Here is my code:

    var myAds = require (‘adsAutoSwither’);
    var ads = new myAds();
    ads.setAdmobPublisherId(‘a1511dcf5c9a343′);
    ads.setIadsShowHide(‘iAdsShowHide.Window’);
    ads.setGlobalDelayStart(2000);
    ads.showAdvert(searchTable,’resize’,’top’);

    Im finding its moving the table down about 25px vs 50 with an empty gap above and below (centered in window) Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Hi,

    to put the ads at the bottom of the screen, simply init the object with those values :
    ads.iadsTopInit = 490; // to hide the ads below the bottom
    ads.admobTopInit = 490;
    ads.topPos = 430; // to show the ads at the bottom (430px + 50px of the ads = 480)

    bsoft
