[OUTDATED][Free] Admob Extension - Add different types of AdMob ads in your application

I am getting this error:

A required meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not exist. You must have the following declaration within the <application> element:

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

Did I miss something? I have followed the steps.

[oseamiya]

Did you added AdmobSdk extension ? AdmobSdk extension fulfill the requirement of this manifest. See :

@oseamiya

Get Started :

You should first integrate the necessary libraries required to display ad in your application. I've added all the libraries required in AdmobSdk Extension. So, to integrate any of the ad-type, you should first download this extension and add in your application & initialize sdk in the application. As well as, now you can change Child-directed setting, Users under the age of consent & Ad content filtering from this extension.

Download Latest Version Of AdmobSdk Extension From Github

Also, This extension doesn't work with companion as companion app don't have required manifest. You should compile the application to see the result.

Thanks oseamiya. Actually I tried with the companion. I compiled and it is working perfectly. Very nice job! Thanks a lot!

[Meulencv]

Very nice extension!

I tried adding a banner ad using this extension, but it doesn't work with an error. How can I make good use of this extension? Please let me know along with the aia file.

Warning phrase : Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.view.ViewParent com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView.getParent()' on a null object reference
Note: You will not see another error reported for 5 seconds.

[oseamiya]

Please look over to the documentation properly.
I checked your aia and I found :

1. You have not followed this step. You should create a new extension so that you can add meta-datas in your manifest. Please follow this step.

@oseamiya

Adding Admob Ad Id in androidmanifest.xml

2. Also, You were trying to show the banner ad without loading. You should load a banner ad first, If loading is success then only you can show the ad to view like this.

If you have got any other confusions then you can reply here

@oseamiya I tried the way you said, but this error pops up.

A required meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not exist. You must have the following declaration within the <application> element:
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
Note: You will not see another error reported for 5 seconds.

What's the problem?

• TagForChildDirectedTreatment

Now you can change tag for child directed treatment from the extension. You can find more about this from here . It aceept integer value and value can either be 0,1 or -1. For true it should be 1, for false it should be 0 & for unspecified it should be -1.

• TagForUnderAgeOfConsent

Now you can change tag for under age of consent from the extension. You can find more about this from here . For true, it should be 1, for false it should be 0 & for unspecified it should be -1.

• MaxAdContentRating

G represents that content are suitable for general audiences, including families. MA represents that content are suitable for only matured audiences. PG represents that content are are suitable for most audiences with parental guidance & T represents content are suitable for teen and older audiences.

hi @oseamiya , do these tags need to be changed before or after initializing sdk?

[oseamiya]

You can set it according to the need. For example, A app for children may require ChildDirectTreatment. So, you can set TagForChildDirectedTreatment to 1.

You can find more about this here

---

You can set it after AdmobSdk Initialized successfully.
