Getting "Admob plugin not ready"

[chinyart]

Hi, i am getting this alert from the plugin, that the plugin is not ready AndriodManifest.xml: ` <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

`

index.js:

    initAd()
showBannerFunc()
function initAd(){
    if ( window.plugins && window.plugins.AdMob ) {
        var ad_units = {
            ios : {
                banner: 'ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx',       //PUT ADMOB ADCODE HERE
                interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx'  //PUT ADMOB ADCODE HERE
            },
            android : {
                banner: 'ca-app-pub-4671871274849807/8704622113',       //PUT ADMOB ADCODE HERE
                interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx'  //PUT ADMOB ADCODE HERE
            }
        };
        var admobid = ( /(android)/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) ? ad_units.android : ad_units.ios;

        window.plugins.AdMob.setOptions( {
            publisherId: admobid.banner,
            interstitialAdId: admobid.interstitial,
            adSize: window.plugins.AdMob.AD_SIZE.SMART_BANNER,  //use SMART_BANNER, BANNER, LARGE_BANNER, IAB_MRECT, IAB_BANNER, IAB_LEADERBOARD
            bannerAtTop: false, // set to true, to put banner at top
            overlap: true, // banner will overlap webview
            offsetTopBar: false, // set to true to avoid ios7 status bar overlap
            isTesting: false, // receiving test ad
            autoShow: true // auto show interstitial ad when loaded
        });

        registerAdEvents();
    } else {
        alert( 'admob plugin not ready' );
    }
}
//functions to allow you to know when ads are shown, etc.
function registerAdEvents() {
    document.addEventListener('onReceiveAd', function(){});
    document.addEventListener('onFailedToReceiveAd', function(data){});
    document.addEventListener('onPresentAd', function(){});
    document.addEventListener('onDismissAd', function(){ });
    document.addEventListener('onLeaveToAd', function(){ });
    document.addEventListener('onReceiveInterstitialAd', function(){ });
    document.addEventListener('onPresentInterstitialAd', function(){ });
    document.addEventListener('onDismissInterstitialAd', function(){ });
}

//display the banner
function showBannerFunc(){
    window.plugins.AdMob.createBannerView();
}
//display the interstitial
function showInterstitialFunc(){
    window.plugins.AdMob.createInterstitialView();  //get the interstitials ready to be shown and show when it's loaded.
    window.plugins.AdMob.requestInterstitialAd();
}

I would appreciate any assistance or idea on how to tackle this issue

I would try put an interstitial add id in there as well.

[chinyart]

okay.....let me give that a try....thanks

[chinyart]

i have added the interstitial id to the app i am still getting the message "Admob plugin is not ready"

below is a screenshot: https://nedumstudios.com/vghdhfufdygifydgkh_images/admob.png

is there something i am missing? This app is not yet on google play though, could that be the reason for the message?

Where is initAd() being called? You have to call it after the cordovaready event.

[chinyart]

Below are snapshots of my html and js code:

this one is the arrangement of my libraries cordova.js is above a file custom.js where i kept the function and called initAd() https://nedumstudios.com/vghdhfufdygifydgkh_images/bug4.PNG

this one is the image of the function calling the banner ads https://nedumstudios.com/vghdhfufdygifydgkh_images/bug5.PNG

while this one is the image of the custom.js file where i call the initAd() https://nedumstudios.com/vghdhfufdygifydgkh_images/custom.PNG

[sunnycupertino]

Initad() needs to be called when the document is ready, and not before. That is why it's failing.

[chinyart]

Hi @sunnycupertino i called the initAd() after document is ready not before below is the link with the updated screenshot

i would appreciate if you would help resolve this issue.

I'm sorry it's not up to us to debug your code. But at a glance it looks odd what you have done. You have multiple document ready calls, and even functions defined within functions, all if this is out of the ordinary and I have no idea how this kind of thing will behave.

yeah i noticed that too, got that fixed though i opened a new issue, that is the latest bug/issue i am facing, i got everything in place

checked if the app recognizes the plugin, it does but no ads displaying at all

here is the link to the newly opened issue https://github.com/sunnycupertino/cordova-plugin-admob-simple/issues/50
