Hello,

Im a using AGK2(Tier 1). I am close to finishing the gameplay of my first game for iOS and Android and I had some questions.

I am aware that AppGameKit supports AdMob for ads and I was wondering if it supports AdMob video ads, I didn't see any thread regarding video ads and I would like to know if its possible.

Also, I would like to know, if there is an easy way to have a share button that will display all available options(email, facebook, twitter, etc.) to the user to share their score.

Thanks

AGK2 supports direct Twitter, Facebook, GameCenter and App Push Notifications, and I'm sure you could add support for email and others via website functionality. I.E. send an http command to your website, which would either send an email or whatever else you wanted. (You would have to create this functionality yourself.)

Thanks for your response!
That's what I though, I will have to do it manually for every service.
What about the video ads from AdMob, does AppGameKit support them?

Twitter is quite easy to post to using the open browser command.

Please share!

I thought OpenBrowser did just that - it opened a browser.
How would you post to twitter using that?

And can you also retrieve feedback to the App as to whether or not it was successful? That would be very useful!

Thanks

What about using TwitterMessage()?
(http://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/Reference/Extras/TwitterMessage.htm)
This looks like easiest way.

Anyone knows about video ads with AdMob?

It would be the easiest way if it existed but if you read the info that you have linked to you will see this line:
This command is not currently supported on any platform.

Oh you are right...
why would they list it?

It looks like this works:
https://twitter.com/intent/tweet
and this with default text:
https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Hello%20world%22

Sorry for the delay, I was sure I'd already posted this somewhere on the forum but couldn't find it to link it. (That and I forgot to tick the "receive email" box on this thread :/ lol)

This is the function I use to post to twitter. There is no way of telling if it was successful or not tho I am afraid.

What about including a variable in the text? For example letting the users post their scores. Is it possible?

Are you sure that's correct Prof?
For me that opens a browser for Twitter with the tweet$ in it (good so far) but also opens a second browser that's trying (and failing) to do something independent with the hastag.

@Kozak
The tweet$ variable is just that - a variable. So you could put whatever you want in it. Assuming you can get it to work properly of course

I still get exactly the same result if I do this:


So I tried dropping it down to this:

And then it only opened one browser but with no hashtag.

Hi all, again, apologies for the delay.

I tested my code and it works fine on my Windows and Android test devices, compiled using the newest AppGameKit 2. I copied the function straight from my Ninja Name Generator app (which is live on the play store if anyone wanted to download it and see it in action... >link<)

Tweet$ should be your tweet, hashtags should be without the # and separated by commas.

Hope that helps...

>Edit<

I found the original post where I was discussing the same thing... >link<
