Prime31 Android Plugins Officially Live!

[prime31]

Just a quick note for anyone out there struggling with implementing Android plugins. We have officially released our first batch of Android plugins with more to follow in the coming days. Check them out here. The first round includes:

- AdMob
- Flurry
- Mobclix (with AdMob suballocation)
- Facebook

If you have any requests for future plugins feel free to shoot us an email. We pump them out based on the number of requests received for each one so get your vote in!

excellent !!

offtopic: will the existing ios plugins be updated with ios5 features or has development stopped on those? for example there's game center improvements and push changes.

[prime31]

@hippocoder, iOS 5 features will be added for sure once it is released. There are some nice GameCenter additions that I look forward to implementing. As features get added (depending on how long they take to add) the price may change but if you already have the plugin you are totally covered.

Thanks Prime! Firing up the AdMob plugin now - looking forward to getting Diversion on Android. Cheers!

[prime31]

@ezone, superb! I picked it up yesterday and am loving it so far! Do let us know how the plugin integration goes.

Can you please upload an example of the FB plugin?

The options I need from the FB plugin:
Choose login permissions.
dialogs: feed and stream.share.
Get access token.

Thanks

Great job (as usual) - had our adMob ads running on the device within 5 mins. Keep up the awesome work!!

A sturdy and complete Android OpenFient plugin please! (will send an email too :P )

Hopefully, this would include support for:

Challenges
Leader-boards
Achievements
OFX (the DLC component)
Push notifications

If this used a similar api as your game center plugin, it would make it nice and easy to port from iOS to Android and back.

Also, a package price would be nice. So that I could just buy them all for one reduced price

Thanks!

A plugin for Xperia Play control would be nice.

Think its pretty impressive that you are covering android and ios.

One plugin which I think we would all buy outright from you is some form of anti piracy check that works!

if (prime31.pirate) WalkGangplank(); // !!!


This is mostly because all cracking is now done via bots rather than people taking the time to crack an app. Popular apps will be cracked in dedicated fashion, but it will slow down / annoy people sufficiently that submitting an update will require them to do a manual crack again rather than use the bot.

Would this be a simple enough plugin for you to take on?

Check my other thread on piracy, google has some nice info in the vid i link to. But a pluging would perhaps also be nice, but there is more stuff you should do really (if possible which i dont know)

[prime31]

@De-panther, I didn't event know there was a stream.share dialog. I will play around with that today and if all is well I will add it to the plugin. I'll see if I can whip up a quick video as well. The others are covered by the plugin.


@hippo and @Legion, I'll put a piracy check on the list for the Android Etcetera Plugin. It's a bit too lite to stand on it's own.

[legion]

Prime31 great

[De-Panther]

Thanks!

There are even more dialogs:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/
Look at the bottom of the page.
If you'll make something like the "FB.ui" on the FB JavaScript SDK of their, it could be the best. That way if and when they'll add another dialog, we could use it, without your need to update the plugin.

[prime31]

@De-Panther, consider it done. I'll get on this today and get an update out

[bpritchard]

@prime31

Quick question... are you looking to add Twitter connectivity to this suite? We're going to be moving over to android and, of course, love your plugins on the iOS side. Just wanted to see if that was on the radar...

[prime31]

@bpritchard, Twitter will most likely end up in there. With the way Twitter has been man handling developers we are gonna wait until the meeting next week to see what happens. It most definitely won't be an Xauth implementation though so it will require visiting Twitter's website for auth.

[sybixsus2]

I'd definitely like to see a robust implementation of Open Feint, as Duke of Desmo suggested. Something which was broadly feature-compatible with GameCenter on iOS.

I'd also like to see an equivalent to your iOS Storekit plugin, using Android In-App Purchases.

[prime31]

@sybixsus2, Android In App Billing is next on the list. Expect it by the end of the week if all goes well.

As for Open Feint...that is a tough one. They already have an official Unity Android plugin out there. What about their version isn't adequate?
