So i’ve been trying to get ads in ue4 for a long time and it has not been working. this video does not help me at all. https://www…com/watch?v=NWjnPNIWX1s
Im not trying to get interstital ads im trying to get banner ads to work and they’re not working. I filled out all the information and I can only think of two things that i may have messedup/overlooked. Where do I put in my admob game ID because nowhere in documentation does it say anything about the admob app ID, and thats seems like an important part of it. And 2nd what exactly is that games app ID in the project settings-> android Im not sure what the format is supposed to look like because in the Developer console its like xxxxxxxxx, but I doubt myself cause What if it’s the admob game ID. I dont know so help would be obliged. thank you.
PS. Im using a blueprint project.
**"UPDATE" READ THIS INSTEAD.** This has been fixed and I hope this can help you as it is most likely why your stuff isn't working. Read the entire answer I posted :)
The Games App ID is an ID obtained from the Play Developer Console, so you’ll see it within your Play Developer Console area once you’ve logged in to manage your app.
The Ad Mob Unit ID is an ID that you’ve obtained for Ad Mob to add into your game.
Make sure you’ve added your ‘Extra Permissions’ in, cause you’ll need to add com.android.vending.BILLING and set it up to show the ad banner in blueprints.
I’ve done all that and I thinkI’ve found the problem after getting the idea to check the log I found this error
Unable to load module ‘AndroidAdvertising’ because the file ‘F:/NonSteamGames/new folder/Epic Games/4.12/Engine/Binaries/Win64/’ was not found
So How can I fix that cause I am almost 100% certain that this HAS to be the problem .Thank you!
I deleted this line of code I added from Admob Interstitial Unreal Engine 4 - summed up
[Advertising]
DefaultProviderName=AndroidAdvertising
Now the error I see is.
LogAdvertising:Warning: GetAdvertisingProvider called with a module name of None.
LogAdvertising:Warning: GetAdvertisingProvider called with a module name of None.
Everytime I press play on the editor it gives that and its still not finding win64. and not finding androidAdvertising. The folder is clearly there and i’v deleted it and nothing has worked yet.
I re-verifyed my engine twice, and I have create a sample project and the error is the same
“LogModuleManager:Warning: No filename provided for module AndroidAdvertising
LogModuleManager:Warning: ModuleManager: Unable to load module ‘AndroidAdvertising’ because the file ‘F:/NonSteamGames/new folder/Epic Games/4.12/Engine/Binaries/Win64/’ was not found.
LogAdvertising:Warning: Failed to find Advertising provider named AndroidAdvertising”
And my android SDK is set up correctly.
I’ve done the re-directors and the saving all/recompiling and nothing worked.
Will this picture help at all? maybe I’m missing a file or something?
Have you tried opening your Build.cs file and adding the line for OnlineSubsystem module (“OnlineSubsystemGooglePlay”) and also including: PrivateDependencyModuleNames.Add(“AndroidAdvertising”);?

I’ve tried it and it hasn’t worked either. The error is
“ogModuleManager:Warning: ModuleManager: Unable to load module ‘AndroidAdvertising’ because the file ‘F:/NonSteamGames/new folder/Epic Games/4.12/Engine/Binaries/Win64/’ was not found.
LogAdvertising:Warning: Failed to find Advertising provider named AndroidAdvertising.”
Why cant it find Win64? could that be the root of the problem?
PS. Also in the C++ files it cant acces the androidAdvertising.H
Thank you so much for all the help; I finally have figured it out.
For all the people having trouble this most likely will fix it.
In your (XXxxGAMExxXX).build.cs file in Unreal Engine Projects\MobileGame1 4.12\Source(XXxxGAMExxXX.
All you have to do is double click it, you need VS 2015 I use community, and then you coopy and paste this into the main code brackets
That basically says if you are in android then load android advertising module and use the play system. This should also fix Any problems with leaderboards and other things.
However in the editor I still get the error of cant find android advertising, probobly because I am not on android on the computer, and I couldn’t test it for ads for some reason either I didn’t do it right, or it wont work cause ADS ONLY SHOWED UP when I actually UPLOADED THE GAME. Now I can finally focus my time on other projects and I hope this solved anyones issues.
PS FOR THE DEVELOPERSS/STAFF Can you please fix this because it took me a long time to figure this out and If it were in the engine by default or in the documentation or when you click a button for play suppport it ads the code then I think your engine would be incredibly more well designed, cause this can just discourage creators from making mobile games on your engine. Thank You!
