Hello I have just downloaded the Ad SDK from blackberry. Followed all the rules to get the .jar files to my project and also loaded the .cod file to my simulator.

I provided this code in the constructor which I wanted my ad to display and everytime I try and open the app. I wont open. Says its an uncaught error.  I also put a try, catch statement around this piece of code.

Here is the code:

import net.rim.blackberry.api.advertising.app******.Banner;


Banner bannerAd = new Banner(******, null);
bannerAd.setMMASize(Banner.MMA_SIZE_EXTRA_LARGE);
add(bannerAd);

What am I doing wrong?

Please Help

Thanks

I just learned that BAS does not work in the simluator. However it works with the device...

So I would need to run this on a device?  That pretty poor that BlackBerry has a whole tutorial set up for how to run it on a simulator.

Thanks

I have this code (It's the same as BAS docs)

private static final int PLACEMENT_ID = XXXXXX;	
	
public AdDemoScreen() {
   Banner bannerAd = new Banner(PLACEMENT_ID, null);
   bannerAd.setMMASize(Banner.MMA_SIZE_EXTRA_LARGE);
		
   add(new LabelField("Up the banner"));
   add(new SeparatorField());
   add(bannerAd);
   add(new SeparatorField());
   add(new LabelField("Down the banner"));
}

And in the simulator does not show any add. I ask technical support and learned that BAS does not work with simulator (simulator cannot show Live Campaigns.) You have to ask for switching to test mode.

Ok thank you very much.

Any ideas why my app keeps throwing an error everytime I try to open it?

It sounds like you guys can get your app open but theres just no ads.

Thank you very very much for this help.

@Scientific

were you able to run the demo on simulator or on device?

I am also seeing noclassdef error when I launch my app

Thanks
