How to use Chartboost extension

There is an example in the MMF/Examples folder on your hard drive.
This won't run as it uses an old version of Android dialog but maybe it will give you a clue.
I'll see if Fernando can make a new example without that.

Also I see from the help in the object itself it ask for some permissions on Android.
Make sure you have those turned on. (It must not be this if you got impressions recorded)

Hi,

i have two question:

is the example working for you?

If you are running in a true development, did you start the campaign in the dashboard setting using "campaigns", "add campaign", "publish to network" and "more apps" tabs?

If this is your case:

In a real apps, you need to register your campaign before to use. This is done in the dashboard, "campaigns" "add campaign", "publis to network", i have notice that the chartboost campaigns sometimes fails to deliver a view but they record the impressions.

If you are starting you can not use "more apps" features until you create one,

1.- To add "More apps" page you have to go to "Edit your app", then click "More apps page" tab and type the name of your campaign in the input field, which is showing on the right.

I was a bit confused by this way of adding "More apps" and "Campaign" pages, because it isn't clear at all.

let me know anything you need and first of all that the example is working when you build.

EDIT: please also take a look of the help

Fernando wrote up an excellent document about using this extension.

Did you add your device id?, but do something post your example with you appid and appsign in an apk to test it, I found that chart boost does not show correctly in the developer device, so is good to ask a friend or have a extra device

Quote from Astronio

Yes I added the device id and I also tried it on another device but still no luck...
I also sent an email to Chartboost just in case something is wrong with my chartboost settings.

I will like to make a suggestion, when you are doing your implementation of Chartboost in your game/application please use the example appid and appsignature, theses number always bring an interstitial or more apps, so after you are happy with the functionality of them, change to the ones you get from them.

Also i have to mention thats sometime chartboost does not deliver ads, so it is a good idea to post your game/application link from google play store so other can test the ads are really showed, i still don´t know if until you don´t deliver a proof of tax them a re not showed.

Hi Fernando, It looks like the chartboost example shows ad only one time. Every next try do anything. I tried it on 3 devices - galaxy s 1,2,3. I also add chartboost to my game - Slender Bones of Children Please login to see this link. on my devices ad shows max. 2 times later no results... ;//

i will download and see.

that is what i also get from them two to 7 impressions daily and that set, but you get all the impressions in their server

About the example yes, it show a real ad only one or two times a day, but you always get landscape or portrait frame as example. not the case of more apps that always show a list.

Yup, list with more apps shows every time... The biggest issue for me is why full screen ads (paid ads) doesn't show often? Is it chartboost limitation or just bug in chartboost implementation?
Btw. example shows test ad, so it should works all times.

Krolik you have answer yourself, here is something with chartboost, you see if you use the examples appid and appsignature they work alll the times, you put yours it show only sometimes, that is happening to me too, but the implementation is correct since works with their values as you say before.

Happy ending!

They seems to send only few ads to each devices daily when they have ads available, also you need a lot downloads (users) to get real money with them. Good luck!

About the image, send us a image of it, they have only two type interstitial and "more apps", Interstitial and "more apps" have landscape and portrait mode, (see that in your app dashboard, they ask you, about the orientation).

you should see them like this. in landscape mode and portrait:

what you can do is to download the chartboost frames template almost 56 MB so you may do you own templates of the interstitials, in favor of your application.

Exactly Fernando, is the difference between interstitial and "more apps?

Koji,

the ones above are only interstitial in landscape and portrait mode.

Take also opportunity, since Krolik ask about revenues and here are how they looks like, but not income in my case.

Here see that i have 2 campaign; one for interstitial and one for more apps, (this is done in the campaign set in default as no interstitial)

Please login to see this attachment.

and here yesterday analytics, as you see even few persons play my game only got one impressions, chartboost deal is when user download and click over your ads and when you have a big amount of user.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO DELIVER THE TAX INFORMATION.

Good Luck!

Fernando, already complete since day before yesterday all my details including my form W8 of tax and I received the message of Charboost that was all OK.

Now, the menu Color machine (my Android App) put these two instructions:

-Cache More Apps
-Show More Apps

When you run the app, it shows the Loading screen and the box is an icon of the app that is being promoted, normally a Bingo.

Now in another screen I put the following:

-Cache Interstitial with location ""
-Show Interstitial with location ""

This sometimes is shows "loading" bar, but does not display any advertising.

What I'm doing wrong?

And as last question, I see in the picture that you generate two campaigns, one for Interstitial and for More Apps, where you distinguished them in Cahrtboost?

Koji,

here the picture to set the more apps advertisement

Does more apps allow make money by displays some other apps or it is only to show my apps I want to promote?
