... Ok, it's 3 minutes 14 seconds - 3 minutes sounds better... This is a guide to adding a Leadbolt content locker to a Custom HTML screen. It should work in any activity, but some adjustments MIGHT need to be made. Adding ''Supports screens" to the manifest MIGHT cause issues with some screens. Check your app thoroughly afterwards. This guide is for apps with NO modifications done to them. Other SDK's, code modification etc may, or may not, have an adverse effect. Download Cheat Sheet: ... Watch Video: ... Copy. Attention!

You are awesome!! Thanks a LOT :) All I got were errors.. Android gives me the biggest headaches lol. ps. Nice music :)

What is Leadbolt content Locker (PS is this where you store your head like Wurzel gummage when you change to melon (very UK) content)

no problem! everything about android gives me a headache! Have you tried it yet? There shouldn't be any problems (haha!) but post back if you have any.

lol! you make me grin.. Leadbolt is the best paying mobile ad network. Bit tricky to set up using their guide, but worth it.

I haven't tried it yet, I'm watching the video again along with Eclipse. I'll post back

ok, glad you like the music :)

damn these double posts! Note to self: STOP REFRESHING!

All was fine up until I compiled and cleaned.. I get an error here: final Activity act = this; Not sure why, I followed everything. Hmm I set it up exactly the same, exact lines and everything. I'm using BT 1.5. ibuprofen needed :)

i've checked the leadbolt manual as well. However, I dont' understand why I have an error: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3222229/Screen%20shot%202012-03-15%20at%207.00.55%20PM.png

That's ok. you're just missing an Activity import. Hover over the red squiggle and it'll state something like: ''Import 'Activity' (android app)'', or just copy this into the imports: import android.app.Activity; Pretty sure that was already in my app, it's not leadbolt code.. Then again, maybe not, it is Java after all... Perhaps you've cleaned out unused imports previously?

Leadbolt implementation tutorial for IOS sucks big time. Making a grown man cry kind of ;) But I wont give up BR/Stefan

Wow that took a while! Thanks for the suggestions, I did finally import the Activity and later had more errors. I found the solution via Stackoverflow. I had to remove all of the jars from the javapath and fix via properties.. I wonder if it clashed with the Airpush SDK? Who knows, but thanks again :) @Stefan -- Yeah, the documentation is not very straightforward, even after a few beers

Can you replicate the errors you had after importing the activity and post them? Interested, that's all. Doesn't matter if you can't. I've had airpush, leadbolt and admob running in the same apps with no problems. I guess all bets are off when a number of different 3rd party sdk's are being used in the same app. Anything might happen!

Yes, I will do it tomorrow. I'll report back as I'll be adding it to all of my android apps.

Excellent!

Back again! I was able to recreate the problem. It seems that I needed to import the activity code. I'm using a mac, if that matters. But I'm happy to report that I have received clicks! I added it without looking at the video! Thanks again

Weird about the activity code. Every one of my apps has that import by default. Never mind, was an easy fix. Great you've got some clicks already! Onwards and upwards!

Hey, The Putlocker site states that the video file is no longer available. Is it available at any other location? Trying to work this out to integrate into my app, thanks!

Duplicate post, sorry, can't see how to delete

Yeah, I'm getting the same message, hope raveyd can get it up soon.

Yeah, I'm getting the same message, hope raveyd can get it up soon.

My apologies for the video. I think it's probably been removed from lack of views. Back up video? Nope... The cheat sheet should be enough to get it integrated as it's all commented. Post on here if you have any problems. I'll try and get some screen shots up.

hey, i signed up for leadbolt, i added "new app" wheres the sdk? i looked all over the leadbolt site.

Hey ceerup, go to the "Help/FAQ's" tab, then the "App Developer SDK and FAQs" tab, then the "How to add LeadBolt SDK to your Android app" link, then the "Click here to download the latest Leadbolt Android SDK" link.

thank you ravey!

No problem mate. Sorry the video in this thread is gone. Can't believe I didn't make a backup. Doh!

its okay, one more question, where can i find my leadbolt locker id? is it the thing at the top where it says Welcome [email protected] (ID: 8 DIGITS)

No. When you create an ad, when you save it you'll get the locker id then.

ohhh ok

can i just use the html ads? and paste it in my html docs?

Yeah, they have that option, I think they call it an App Banner.

that might be the easiest option lol

Easiest isn't always best! Know what you mean though, leadbolt's not an easy integration.

well i figure i already have admob in there at the top of the screens, so i put leadbolt html at the bottom...its not showing up though..so im not sure what to do yet..and why its not showing in the html doc

hmmm... don't know, never used the html option. I expect there's javascript in the code, calling up an external library, so that might be an issue? Have you tried it using the custom url plugin and linking to an online webpage? Might have something to do with http? Have you got the correct mobile meta data in the head of the document?

i think maybe cause i didnt activate it yet, it says app pending approval?

Right. It will take a while for first approval, maybe an hour or so, but it's usually within 20 minutes for subsequent ads. You'll get an email confirmation.

thanks ravey ill keep you up to date

I did the html banner, it is easy to do. It is just a script tag. Problem is when someone clicks the ad, it can't open.

Here's the specific html code you're supposed to put in your HTML pages: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ad.leadboltads.net/show_app_ad.js?section_id=*********"></script> The stars are your specific ad number from after your app gets approved. It's a unique number for each app. The error message that happens when someone clicks an ad is this (I tested from my wife's phone to see how it would work): Something's not right Error loading screen? The application had trouble understanding what to display I'm wondering if it's an issue with the script type = text/javascript Any suggestions?

Daniel, howd you enter it, you just put the script like that into an html doc? custom html screen? Hopefully i can help

Yes, just like above in a HTML doc page. I found this that may help me as well: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=FE05BB5CCB664537CBA430D&command=isSearching&currentPage=1&topicTitle=Leadbolt&createdBy=&repliedBy=&minViews=-1&maxViews=-1&minReplies=-1&maxReplies=-1&forumCategory=
