Prime31 Android Plugins Officially Live!

Hi Prime31, a few questions,
With the mobclix plugin, does it do everything the admobs plugin does and more? If I use admob ads through mobclix do I still get payed by admobs (or do mobclix handle the payment)? And do both plugins play nicely with the OpenFeint plugin in the stickys?
Thanks,
Bug

 

@Bug55, the Mobclix Plugin gives you access to all of Mobclix features and you can also pipe AdMob ads through as well. You cannot access AdMobs interstitial though. That required the standard AdMob plugin all of our plugins are designed to work with each other and play nice. You will always need to manually edit the manifest when using OF so it should work fine.

 

Will the Flurry plugin have support added for the isTimed parameter on the logEvents like there is for the iOS plugin?

 

@bigdaddy, those methods don't exist in the Flurry Android SDK

 

Cheers Prime31, Just one last question. If I use Admob ads via your mobclix plugin, do I get paid for the admob ads by admob or mobclix? Its just I've read it takes a lot longer to get your money off of mobclix. Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this.
Thanks again

 

@Bug, you will still get paid by AdMob for any ads they serve. Mobclix is much, much better about payouts these days. They send checks every month now.

 

Sweet, thanks again, I will be purchasing your mobclix plugin very soon then

 

Hi Prime,
Any chance for a media player plugin to launch Android music player from in app? Just like iOS.

 

@Refined, its on the list but requests for it have been low so it has a few things ahead of it.

 

Hey Prime,

I'm trying to get video playback working on android devices, and I've tried EtceteraAndroid.playMovie to play a video given a URL. Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails with an error code from MediaPlayer of -1004 which I believe is ERROR_IO within MEDIA_ERROR_BASE (found within the stagefright MediaErrors.h). If the file is local, the video plays fine.

I've tested this on a motorola xoom a nexus one, with the same results.

Any ideas for a solution for this issue?

 

@shiva, is it the same file that sometimes works sometimes doesn't? Each Android device has different video formats that they support so you need to make sure you are encoding in a supported format.

 

It is the same file, yes.

 

@shiva, can you share the link (or just email it to me through the contact form on the website)?

 

Done

 

@Prime31

having some issues still w/the IAP Plugin. I just upgraded to the latest/greatest this morning and it all seems to work save the fact I'm not getting any return response (or at least not addressing it properly)... i haven't changed anything from when it was working but now its just not receiving anything. I've tried both Full purchases and Test purchases.. neither hit my purchaseSucceededEvent. I sent a log to your email.

Additionally i see these 2 errors
E/Prime31-SEC(15181): Signature verification failed.
W/Prime31-SEC(15181): signature does not match data.
and i have noted them before but i'm still not 100% sure what causes them? Our process for delivery was this.

Build an APK using keystone A with the proper public key. Upload that to the google site, make it available (apparently thats the only way its working right now).
From there i build another app that is using the same exact keystone and public key. build it. I can connect to the store and the full purchase happens (I even get the cc receipt) but i get that above error and no response on my end.

Where does the disconnect happen at that level?

 

@bpritchard, from the logs it appears the purchase was successfully sent to the Market ("purchase was successfully sent to server" log) but there was no response back from the Market to indicate success/failure which is quite odd. The successful send indicates you have internet access. Did you check all the usual suspects: signing your app with a non-debug keystore, using a test user setup on the Google Checkout page, entering your public ID properly.

 

@prime31,

yeah we're running through some more steps to make sure we're apples to apples across the board. I did think it was odd the whole thing worked up to the response code. We're going to try building an app and uploading that to the site making sure its 1 to 1.

 

@prime31

No dice. I think we got a little closer... but still no dice. I sent u a new log... we're getting the full purchase, see the receipt and everything.

Basically what we did this time was we did the build and uploaded that very same build to the phone and the marketplace. We were able to test it w/o publishing which is good.. but i still don't get a return message. It keeps saying that failed bit... i guess i'm at a loss as to what could be failing.

I have my public key in the player prefs as well as in the actual key variable in the IAB call. So those 2 are the same. and the app is using the same keystone since its the same exact app in both places.

Any other insight maybe? I'm really at a loss...

 

@bpritchard, check your email. I already responded to you.

 

@prime31,

is there anyway to disable the viewport rotation when the webpage is showing when using showWebView? I tried just turning off the auto rotates prior to showing the page but it doesn't seem to activate in time (or the webpage doesn't respect the unity autorotation rules).

 

@bpritchard, there is currently no way to force an orientation on the web view.

 

Our Balliland XL port from iOS to Android will be heavily dependent on prime[31]'s work.

Excellent plugins that work great together. Excellent customer support. Two thumbs up for anyone who is interested in buying them!

 

Prime, does in app billing plugin works together with open feint?

I got crash after I add your in-app billing plugin to project where I am using open feint plugin. OpenFeint stops work and just crash...

May be some steps required to merge something?

Thanks!

 

@Lesha, it works fine. Check your PM's as I already responded to you there. You have to setup your Manifest properly.

 

Update: The Etcetera Android Plugin just got Text to Speech functionality in an update today. Get it while it's hot!

 

Hey, I just integrated the TapJoy plugin and it works great! However, now the app will crash whenever InAppBilling init is called. Logcat isn't telling me anything useful, and i'm not 100% sure what is causing this. =(

 

@CLeyden, can you post the logcat logs around the crash time? Did you remember to generate a new manifest once both plugins were imported?

 

Thanks for the speedy reply!

I have generated a new manifest once both plugins were imported, and the logcat info looks like this at time of crash:

@CLeyden, that looks like a licensing exception. Are you signing the apk with a non-debug keystore?

 

Yeah, the APK is signed with non-debug.

Edit: Issue resolved! I rolled back to a previous build and reimported the tapjoy plugin and everything is working fine now. Not sure exactly what caused the original issue however, possibly a corrupted import.

 

@CLeyden, glad to hear its resolved! My best guess would have been an AndroidManifest issue but since you are up and running we may never know.

 

Edit: Sorted out, turns out my plugin just needed updating! >.<

 

I just tried out the new Etcetera plugin TTS feature (fun project of the day!). If you want to hear it, this is a free app (just remember to activate TTS in your Settings)

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.technicat.WordsEyeFeature

 

@technicat, that was quick!

 

I bought the AdMob plugin this morning and I'm having a few issues setting it up. When I first imported the package, I added the basic prefabs and it worked fine, but I need a bit more control over the ad placement so I'm now trying to get it working with my scripts.

Code (csharp):

1. AdMobAndroid.init( "xxxx" );
2.  
3. var density = AdMobAndroid.getScreenDensity();
4.  
5. // center the banner.  this is a basic setup with centered banners
6.  
7. AdMobAndroid.createBanner( AdMobAndroidAd.phone320x50, ( Screen.width / 2 ) - 160 * density, 0 );

This is the code I'm calling from OnGUI(), which is copy+pasted from your example scripts. Now every time I start the app it force closes with an exception. Here are the Logcat logs:

I'm not a great programmer, so any suggestions as to where I'm going wrong?

 

@el_chupos, it looks like you may have inadvertently deleted the plugins jar file. If you reimport the plugin it will add it to your project again.

 

Re-imported, still having the same problem.

I'm calling the ad from a Javascript document, is this what could be causing the problems? This is the only C# in my whole project so I'm not entirely sure how to go about implementing it.

I'm also getting this error in Unity:

Code (csharp):

1. ArgumentException: get_platform  can only be called from the main thread.
2. Constructors and field initializers will be executed from the loading thread when loading a scene.
3. Don't use this function in the constructor or field initializers, instead move initialization code to the Awake or Start function.
4. AdMobAndroid.getScreenDensity () (at Assets/Plugins/AdMobAndroid/AdMobAndroid.cs:56)
5. guimenu..ctor () (at Assets/scripts/guimenu.js:17)

 

@El_Chupos, are you certain that you have the AdMobPlugin.jar file in the Assets/Plugin/Android folder? The error indicates that it was not compiled into your project. You may want to try removing the built APK file and rebuilding just to be certain.

 

Well I started from scratch implementing it in my project and I seem to be having more luck this time around. I can get the prefab ad to work, but when I run this code in my GUI function:

Code (csharp):

1. var density = AdMobAndroid.getScreenDensity();
2.  
3. AdMobAndroid.init( "xxxxx" );
4.  
5. AdMobAndroid.createBanner( AdMobAndroidAd.phone320x50, ( Screen.width / 2 ) - 160 * density, Screen.height - 50 * density );
6.    

The game's performance drops substantially and it won't detect any input from the phone. When I looked in the logs the following section was repeating endlessly:

Code (csharp):

1. 11-05 13:31:13.149: I/Prime31(17378): requested adSize enum value: 0
2. 11-05 13:31:13.169: I/Prime31(17378): requested adSize enum value: 0
3. 11-05 13:31:13.251: I/Prime31(17378): requested adSize enum value: 0
4. 11-05 13:31:13.262: I/Prime31(17378): requested adSize enum value: 0
5. 11-05 13:31:13.294: D/Prime31(17378): creating ad banner with leftMargin:topMargin: 160:405

 

@El_Chupos, you only need to call that code one time. It looks like you are calling it multiple times per second. If you put it in Start that is all you need then you can even destroy the GameObject if you want to.

 

Yep, working now. Thanks for all the help, it's a really great plugin.

 

Technicat, I tried your cool WordEye app, but the english text was spoken on my language(which is Italian) so was funny enough !

Forgot to mention, that I do have english TTS voice installed.

Cool app !

Hey prime.. we're seeing (well our customer is) some strangeness with the IAP process on Honeycomb devices. I don't have one to test but I was curious if you've seen any problems w/Honeycomb and google marketplace (IAP)? Basically if the user goes to the pay wall to purchase our product, then to the google store page (via the app) and uses the back button to go bad to the game its automatically unlocked. This appears to only be on devices running honeycomb and when the users are using the on screen back button (the android bar on the screen). have you ever seen anything like this? I'm trying to get a log currently.

 

@bpritchard, I only have one Honeycomb device right now for testing and I have never seen anything like that. A log would be a big help.

 

@prime31

ended up being an unrelated issue. False alarm.

 

hi prime31.i want to buy exctera plugin on android for text to speech(TTS).If i buy have many languages speak.Please send me list of languages

 

@Subbu, you will have to check the Android OS docs for supported languages. It varies by version.

 

@Prime31

Quick question on restore functions when the user has already bought the IAP... currently if the user selects our iap button (which is using the standard purchase process) it takes them to the store where it gives this error...

"Error: Your order is processing, your item will be available in a few minutes"

and then never unlocks. I have a onRestoreSuccessful event but does the standard purchase event not have a handle case for an already purchased item? Do we have to implicitly use the Restore functions to unlock the content on an existing purchase?

 

@bpritchard, I usually recommend always calling restore on the first launch. That will make sure previous purchases are properly credited. Unlike iOS you can call restore without the user needing to enter their info so it is transparent to the user.

 

@Prime31 so the purchase function never properly signals a restore once they've gone to the market? the processes are pretty black and white?
