Does this work with the menu with image because I cannot get it to swipe or don't see an ad like you did? LA

Hi @LA, It does seem to be working with the Menu with Image plugin on my end. @jvalley, Are the ads set to show in your Scringo control panel? Maybe they just aren't refreshing in your app yet? wait a bit and see if they appear like iAds? I plan on putting together some formal Webinars with the heads of Scringo so we can all learn and benefit together. Scringo is a great bunch and eager to help us Buzztouchers! cheers! ian

PS: did you enable the ads on the dev zone (https://dev.scringo.com)? Go to your app in the dev zone, click the "Manage Ads" tab and check the settings there...

Well, after working with LA on an email thread, I found out there was a space in the end of the app ID in the scringo.properties... Besides that, this tutorial Ian so kindly uploaded, works nicely with apps that have tabs. For those who don't, you can do the exact same thing for the BT_activity_base instead of BT_activity_root_tabs and it should work. @Ian, maybe you can update the original post? Thanks, Ofer

Hi, I updated the Scringo Android tutorial. It's the exact same steps except you will add the code to the BT_activity_base.java file for NON-Tabbed Layouts. I included sample code. I tested this with the Menu with Image plugin and it's working fine. Let me know how it goes! ian

Hey guys I'm mobile so I'll have to teamview later. @mysps, because u are using tabs the original Android tutorial works fine. If an app is using a NON-Tabbed layout the Scringo activation will happen in the BT_activity_base.java file. I updated the tutorial for Tabbed vs. Non tabbed Scringo integration

Update: After a late night with ian @buzztouch working on his end and then us coming together with teamviewer, we finally got Scringo to work for me! I had to put the code in the BT_activity_base, with no tabs and a menu with image and a simple menu. We had to start over and do a fresh download of my bt package and Scringo package. I did not delete a few things in my workplace so it was picking up the same files even though I deleted them from my desktop and Eclipse. In sum, make sure you delete every file, including corresponding files in your workplace, if you didn't get Scringo to work the first time. Thank you for your help Ian! LA
