BlackBerry Advertising Service

[fgoyti]

I recently found out that the ADs API is not supported on the Playbook with WebWorks.  That's too bad and I hope they are working on it. 

In the meantime, has anyone had any experience with an Ad network that would be suitable for use with WebWorks? I tried one yesterday which gave me a javascript code, but as expected, it doesn't launch the browser.  Instead, it *replaces* my app with the target Ad.  (since clicking a link in a WebWorks app changes your app's page, not opens in a browser)

Looking for advice here.  If anyknow knows when the WebWorks API code will be released, that would be very much appreciated as well

Thanks

Me too, I'm looking for Ads model business over Playbook and BB10?

Any help here? Thanks before/

I gave up trying after I used an html ad and ran into the problem of clicking. It opens the ad in the same screen as the webworks app instead of a new window/browser. So the app is replaced by the ad with no way to get back

Have you tried LeadBolt? http://www.leadbolt.com/

You will need to know the URL the ads are being served from so you can white-list approproately.

gbeukeboom: can you give us some info on how to capture the banner click and direct it to a browser instance?

instead of it taking over the webview as mentioned earlier in the tread

You can use target=”_blank” in the <a>, this should open the link in the browser currently.

Find whatever part of your ad services javascript file that opens the link, and replace it with something like this: 

var args = new blackberry.invoke.BrowserArguments(obj.href);
    blackberry.invoke.invoke(blackberry.invoke.APP_BROWSER, args);

 with obj.href beink the link to open.

Hello, I tried with leadbolt.
I downloaded the script and when I launch the app, the banner is displayed for 5 seconds and then disappears.
How do I hook it to the htm page?
If you want to place the code to be more clear ...
