Information for those who monetize the game through the display of advertising AdMob.
From January 23, 2018, support for AdMob SDK versions lower than 7.0.0 is terminated. In other words, your advertisement will NOT work if you have connected it with this well-known instruction.
Details written here:
https://support.google.com/admob/answer ... ?ctx=email
Advertising will continue to work, but you only need to update Android Studio to the latest version and change one line of code.
In clause 4.1 of this manual, here is this line:
compile 'com.google.android.gms: play-services: 6. +'
Change to this one:
compile 'com.google.android.gms: play-services-ads: 17.2.0'
This line instead of the outdated 6th version of Google services, connect the component of the latest version of advertising.
This is all, the rest is also done according to the instructions given.

I don't yet use AdMob, but I really appreciate your efforts! Thank you again for all your help. You are awesome!

Please, help me.
I stucked with
android:value="ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~yyyyyyyyyy"/>
The problem - I can't find that long app ID in AdMob UI at all!
It should be for apps which in Google Play, but I just have only APK from RenPy.
If I go in settings, I find that -
Publisher ID
pub-1479238597726566
AdSense client id
953-431-7740
Google ad ID
571-139-8905
What to do... I don't understand, augh... so difficult T_T
Thank you

You'll get that long code after you added an app inside AdMob
(Login to Admob > Go to "Apps" > "Add app") *Don't worry dude if you still doesn't have your app on the Play store /appstore just go with the process of adding an app you can link them later.
then inside your app id there will be an option on creating an "Ad unit" which where you can get the "ad unit id"
The difference of the two is just the symbol (~ and /):
app id looks like : ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxx
~xxxxxxxxxxxx
ad unit id looks like: ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxx
/xxxxxxxxxxxx

Sorry for double posting.
I just would like to know how to use Interstitial ads instead of banner type ads.
I checked these with some of my testers and the ad works fine no problem but their only complain is that banner type ads are wayyyyy annoying to the players (in their opinion).
Since the admob banner will not go away. It will be there all throughout your gameplay, no close buttons, no skip ad option.
Now Interstitial ads on the other hand takes the whole screen but it comes with a skip ad / close ad option.
Edit: nvm guys thanks , I got the Interstitial ads to work. It's the same process just a different call.

Hi guys! I need your help. I do not understand Java at all, so I'm sorry if the questions are stupid, but I made the game and it only remains to implement advertising. Normal advertising as in this guide is not a problem, but it does not suit me because it can not be closed.
1. How do I embed "Interstitial" ads? According to the official guide
https://developers.google.com/admob/and ... tial?hl=ru nothing happened.
2. I need to make the ad appear once every 4 minutes, I have an idea to do it through a timer in (Java) good examples of them on the Internet are enough. But again, the question arises, how do I make the first ad appear 4 minutes after starting the game, and then appear after it (advertising) closes every 4 minutes?
Thank you in advance to all who will help!)

I have followed every single steps of yours and I still cannot get the banner ad, so what is causing this bug and I have no idea, would it be possible for you guys to help me ?
My androidmanifest.xml(from app folder):
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
android:value="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713" />
My androidmanifest.xml(from renpyandroid folder):
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
And I add those 7 lines to the onCreate() of SDLActivity.java
It would be nice if someone can help me out and I am using the latest renpy on mac

So I followed the steps as best I could, but due to the recent update to API Level 29, the current tutorial posted in 2019 is no longer functional. Gradle will complain about several issues that can't be fixed by rolling back to a previous version of itself.
I'm curious to know if anyone has a workaround or knows how to get Gradle to cooperate with Android 10. As much as I'd like to put more time into researching this, Android Studio isn't my field of expertise.
