About this course
So you've created an app using LibGDX's cross-platform development tool and now you also want to earn some money with it.
Integrating an ad service might just be the way for you.
The most popular way to monetize apps is using ad services and the most dominant mobile ad platform - adopted by 2/3th fo the developers that use ad services - is Google's AdMob.
One problem though is that Google's documentation is not well adjusted to integrating AdMob in LibGDX and even with LibGDX's documentation it could take you hours if not days of work to figure out how everything works and get a good understanding of how to integrate Banner and Interstitial ads in your app.
In this course I'll help you quickly understand how to use & integrate AdMob in your app.
I will take you step by step through the proces of how to:
- set up and integrate AdMob within your own app.
- how to display interstitial and banner ads
- make sure you're app doesn't freeze on a device without network connection
