Question

I'm trying to integrate the leadbolt "app ad" and "app notification" into my game made with AndEngine.

07-09 11:42:20.715: D/AdController(1262): Exception - null

I added the following code into my main class inside the onLoadEngine method adn tested it in the onLoadComplete method, too.

public Engine onLoadEngine() { / public void onLoadComplete() {
    myController1 = new AdController(getApplicationContext(), "277481637");
    myController1.setAsynchTask(true);
    myController1.loadNotification();
    myController2 = new AdController(getApplicationContext(), "497251530");
    myController2.loadAd();
    //MORE CODE
    return engine;
}

I created a BootReceiver Class (I used the correct packagename):

package <PackageName>;

import com.Leadbolt.AdController;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
        //register the notification on reboot
        AdController mycontroller = new AdController(arg0, "277481637");
        mycontroller.loadNotification();
    }

}

and added this to my manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<receiver android:name=".BootReceiver">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Maybe someone can help me please.

Answer 1

After a review I can see that this line is wrong in your code:

myController2 = new AdController(getApplicationContext(), "497251530");
myController2.loadAd();

Cant pass in application context for Ads, you need to pass in the Activity.

Also in your Manifest file, include this line:

<receiver android:name="com.Leadbolt.AdNotification" />

This line needs to be present in your Manifest file before the tag.

Hope this helps, you can always reach out to us at support@leadbolt.com if you continue to experience issues
