Android app ads possible with buzztouch?

I'm looking to add in ads for my android buzztouch app, and was wondering if there's a way to go about doing that yet? I did a search but all I could find is stuff on iAds which is for iphone if I'm not mistaken. Thanks!

AdMob should be available once 1.5 is officially released (or at least that is what I've gathered from the various posts around the forum). You could also try implementing the SDK of one of the major ad companies.

Hi There has already been a discussion on this elsewhere & one of the forum members has figured out putting AdMob ads onto buzztouch v1.4 android, he also made a post on his blog with the 'how-to' here: http://tipstricksandhacks.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-add-admob-ads-to-your-buzztouch.html Just in the process of implementing this myself :-) - but also eagerly awaiting the release of v1.5 for android

Also if you decide you want the ads on the bottom as a footer just put this code at bottom after linear layout in act_home.xml <com.google.ads.AdView android:layout_height=wrap_content android:id=@+id/adView android:layout_width=wrap_content ads:adUnitId=YOUR_ADMOB_ID_HERE ads:adSize=BANNER ads:loadAdOnCreate=true android:layout_alignParentBottom=true> </com.google.ads.AdView> instead of on the top like this tutorial tells you to do.

Because BuzzTouch does not allow HTML in its forums that code is missing quotation marks after every = sign and the end of each line for example ad:loadAdOnCreate=put quotation mark true another quotation mark
