Cordova AdMob plugin

It simply works :)

Monetize your Cordova/Phonegap/XDK HTML5 hybrid apps and games with AdMob ads, using latest Google AdMob SDK.

• Now available with Ionic Native too
• Supports banner, interstitials and rewarded
• Optional Tappx backfill

With this Cordova/Phonegap/XDK plugin you can show AdMob ads as easy as:

    admob.createBannerView({publisherId: "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/BBBBBBBBBB"});

Plugin update (phonegap/cordova cli)

cordova-admob~4.1.15 and later are now updated to Firebase SDK (ios 7.13.1 and later, android managed by gradle)

To update the plugin you should remove the plugin and add it again:

$ cordova plugin rm cordova-admob
$ npm cache clear
$ cordova plugin add cordova-admob

Sometimes removing the plugin causes an error (it's been reported to cordova https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12083). If that happens, remove first cordova-libgoogleadmobads manually:

$ rm plugins/cordova-libgoogleadmobads/ -rf
$ cordova plugin rm cordova-admob
$ npm cache clear
$ cordova plugin add cordova-admob

Platform SDK supported

• iOS, using AdMob SDK for iOS, v7.13.1
• Android, using latest Google Play Services for Android (managed by gradle)

Quick start

To install this plugin, follow the Command-line Interface Guide. You can use one of the following command lines:

• cordova plugin add cordova-admob
• cordova plugin add https://github.com/appit-online/appit-cordova-admob.git

To use in Phonegap Build, place the following tag in your config.xml file:

<gap:plugin name="phonegap-admob" source="npm"/>

To start showing ads, place the following code in your onDeviceReady callback. Replace corresponding id's with yours:

Note: ensure you have a proper AdMob and tappx accounts and get your publisher id's.

    
    function onDeviceReady() {
      document.removeEventListener('deviceready', onDeviceReady, false);
      
      // Set AdMobAds options:
      admob.setOptions({
        publisherId:           "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/BBBBBBBBBB",  // Required
        interstitialAdId:      "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/IIIIIIIIII",  // Optional
        autoShowBanner:        true,                                      // Optional
        autoShowRInterstitial: false,                                     // Optional
        autoShowRewarded:      false,                                     // Optional
        tappxIdiOS:            "/XXXXXXXXX/Pub-XXXX-iOS-IIII",            // Optional
        tappxIdAndroid:        "/XXXXXXXXX/Pub-XXXX-Android-AAAA",        // Optional
        tappxShare:            0.5                                        // Optional
      });
      
      // Start showing banners (atomatic when autoShowBanner is set to true)
      admob.createBannerView();
      
      // Request interstitial ad (will present automatically when autoShowInterstitial is set to true)
      admob.requestInterstitialAd();

      // Request rewarded ad (will present automatically when autoShowRewarded is set to true)
      admob.requestRewardedAd();
    }
    
    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

:warning: Be sure to start ads on "deviceready" event otherwise, the plugin would not work.

Complete example code

Note that the admob ads are configured inside onDeviceReady(). This is because only after device ready the AdMob Cordova plugin will be working.

    var isAppForeground = true;
    
    function initAds() {
      if (admob) {
        var adPublisherIds = {
          ios : {
            banner : "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/BBBBBBBBBB",
            interstitial : "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/IIIIIIIIII"
          },
          android : {
            banner : "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/BBBBBBBBBB",
            interstitial : "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/IIIIIIIIII"
          }
        };
    	  
        var admobid = (/(android)/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) ? adPublisherIds.android : adPublisherIds.ios;
            
        admob.setOptions({
          publisherId:          admobid.banner,
          interstitialAdId:     admobid.interstitial,
          autoShowBanner:       true,
          autoShowInterstitial: false,
          autoShowRewarded:     false,
          tappxIdiOS:           "/XXXXXXXXX/Pub-XXXX-iOS-IIII",
          tappxIdAndroid:       "/XXXXXXXXX/Pub-XXXX-Android-AAAA",
          tappxShare:           0.5,
        });

        registerAdEvents();
        
      } else {
        alert('AdMobAds plugin not ready');
      }
    }
    
    function onAdLoaded(e) {
      if (isAppForeground) {
        if (e.adType === admob.AD_TYPE.AD_TYPE_BANNER) {
          console.log("New banner received");
        } else if (e.adType === admob.INTERSTITIAL) {
          console.log("An interstitial has been loaded and autoshown. If you want to automatically show the interstitial ad, set 'autoShowInterstitial: true' in admob.setOptions() or remove it");
          admob.showInterstitialAd();
        } else if (e.adType === admob.AD_TYPE_REWARDED) {
          console.log("New rewarded ad received");
          admob.showRewardedAd();
        }
      }
    }
    
    function onPause() {
      if (isAppForeground) {
        admob.destroyBannerView();
        isAppForeground = false;
      }
    }
    
    function onResume() {
      if (!isAppForeground) {
        setTimeout(admob.createBannerView, 1);
        setTimeout(admob.requestInterstitialAd, 1);
        isAppForeground = true;
      }
    }
    
    // optional, in case respond to events
    function registerAdEvents() {
      document.addEventListener(admob.events.onAdLoaded, onAdLoaded);
      document.addEventListener(admob.events.onAdFailedToLoad, function (e) {});
      document.addEventListener(admob.events.onAdOpened, function (e) {});
      document.addEventListener(admob.events.onAdClosed, function (e) {});
      document.addEventListener(admob.events.onAdLeftApplication, function (e) {});
      
      document.addEventListener("pause", onPause, false);
      document.addEventListener("resume", onResume, false);
    }
        
    function onDeviceReady() {
      document.removeEventListener('deviceready', onDeviceReady, false);
      initAds();

      // display a banner at startup
      admob.createBannerView();
        
      // request an interstitial ad
      admob.requestInterstitialAd();

      // request a rewarded ad
      admob.requestRewardedAd();
    }
    
    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
