Hi David,

After I update to version 2016.103 I started having this error message:

Press any key to continue . . .

What could be the solution?

Hello,

That's a Cordova's error, edunt, not an App Builder problem. Certainly I get some similar errors sometimes. Since my computer is not too much fast, sometimes the Java Virtual Machine cannot be initialized, then Cordova raised the appropiate error. I close some big programs and try again and commonly the error dissapear. Sometimes I also restart my computer and this kind of problems also dissapear. Try it by yourself some of these possible ways...

Hi,
Thanks for quick reply. I have done what you said, even to the extent of reinstalling cordova and all same problem remains. This is really frustration when I think I just want to get simple done.

At some point, I thought it was Windows 10 causing it.

Hello,

But this is not an App Builder question, edunt. I can help you if you found some problem in App Builder, but, I can't help you (all the time) if the problem is in Cordova, Ant, Java, Android SDK, etc. I recommend you to start by search in Google about the problem. I am not an expert in these all software.

Hi David,

It is not about YOU ARE HELP ME "(all the time)". I just want to keep you informing you about my findings. So that when other users encounter similar issues we will what is causing it. Without much saying from you, I can read the error message and diagnosed the issues.

I keep getting different error message by just rerunning: Strange indeed.

Hi,

What caused the issue is AdMob plugin.

Hello,

Try with the AdMob plugin home page / documentation, specifically the Installation chapter.

I guess,maybe Admob in App builder plugin is not update version(older from source)...

Hello,

I try right now with the AdMob sample and they works as expected. The problem is related with "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads", then with the Cordova's AdMob plugin. Probably edunt need to assert they have installed the Cordova's AdMob plugin requisites using the Android SDK manager.

@tin: You are right, that is what I assume.

@David: what prerequisite android sdk are you referring to? I have all Extra tools SDK installed.

Hello,

I put a link for the AdMob requisites above:

Hello,

Hi,

Yes, I have gone through it. Another discovery for it not work is because I am using Android 5.xx that is why.

Hello,

Hi,

I test the AdMob sample in my Android 4.4.2 and 5.1.1 devices and works fine edunt.

Hi,
That is strange, although I saw another issue that might caused admob plugin not work at https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-admob-pro/wiki/Difference-of-Plugin-IDs number 4.

Whereas all required tools are installed.

Hello,

If you are sure why not open a new issue in the plugin's project page?

Hi,

Cheers. I have posted the question and and I will get back soon as I get the answer.

Hi David,

Can you update the cordova-plugin-admob (extension) to cordova-plugin-admobpro?

Hello,

Hi David,

Can you update the cordova-plugin-admob (extension) to cordova-plugin-admobpro?

I can't understand... the plugin works for me here. Are you tried with "cordova-plugin-admobpro" and they works? I need to study that because I am not sure right now about the differences between this two plugins. In the meanwhile, if you needed, change the ID by yourself edunt.

Hi David,

Only the solution is use cordova-plugin-admobpro.

Thanks.

Hello,

I am not sure, but, looking at the App Builder's Javascript AdMob plugin they already uses "cordova-plugin-admobpro"...

Hi David,
The issue of Cordova admob not working on my app is because I am still work on old project, yesterday when I created new project based on old project idea, and build the apk, then ran it on real device and everything worked as expected.

Glad to know you got it Ade!
