Microsoft Advertising SDK running on Unity without store plugins
!!!! Microsoft Advertising SDK is now unavailable !!!!
1. Download Microsoft Advertising SDK here.
2. Open Visual Studio and create a new Windows Runtime Component (UWP) project called WindowsAdsComponent.
3. Add a Microsoft Advertising SDK reference to your project as below.
​
4. Set your solution configuration to Release and platform to x64.
5. Copy the following code into your WindowsAds.cs file. (Copy the code from the Word link.)
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
// Don't forget to add this 3 namespaces !
using Microsoft.Advertising.WinRT.UI;
using Windows.ApplicationModel.Core;
using Windows.UI.Core;
​
namespace WindowsAdsComponent
{
public enum ShowResult
{
Ready,
Error,
Completed,
Cancelled
}
​
public sealed class WindowsAds
{
private bool mAdsInit = false;
private bool mExceptionGenerate = false;
private string myAppId = "d25517cb-12d4-4699-8bdc-52040c712cab"; //Test spot ads string;
private string myAdUnitId = "test";
private ShowResult mShowResult;
private InterstitialAd myInterstitialAd = null;
​
// Events
public event EventHandler<ShowResult> videoShow;
​
// Properties
public bool AdsInit
{
get { return mAdsInit; }
set { mAdsInit = value; }
}
public bool ExceptionGenerate
{
get { return mExceptionGenerate; }
set { mExceptionGenerate = value; }
}
public string AppId
{
get { return myAppId; }
set { myAppId = value; }
}
public string AdUnitId
{
get { return myAdUnitId; }
set { myAdUnitId = value; }
}
private ShowResult showResult
{
get { return mShowResult; }
set
{
mShowResult = value;
EventHandler<ShowResult> handler = videoShow;
if (handler != null)
{
handler(this, mShowResult);
}
}
}
​
// constructor
public WindowsAds()
{
var t = CoreApplication.MainView.CoreWindow.Dispatcher.RunAsync(
CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () => {
try
{
myInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd();
myInterstitialAd.AdReady += MyInterstitialAd_AdReady;
myInterstitialAd.ErrorOccurred += MyInterstitialAd_ErrorOccurred;
myInterstitialAd.Completed += MyInterstitialAd_Completed;
myInterstitialAd.Cancelled += MyInterstitialAd_Cancelled;
mAdsInit = true;
mExceptionGenerate = false;
}
catch
{
mExceptionGenerate = true;
}
});
}
​
// request and show a video
public void ShowVideo()
{
if (!mExceptionGenerate && mAdsInit)
{
var t = CoreApplication.MainView.CoreWindow.Dispatcher.RunAsync(
CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
{
try
{
myInterstitialAd.RequestAd(AdType.Video, myAppId, myAdUnitId);
mExceptionGenerate = false;
}
catch
{
mExceptionGenerate = true;
}
});
}
}
​
private void MyInterstitialAd_AdReady(object sender, object e)
{
showResult = ShowResult.Ready;
var t = CoreApplication.MainView.CoreWindow.Dispatcher.RunAsync(
CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () => {
try
{
myInterstitialAd.Show();
mExceptionGenerate = false;
}
catch
{
mExceptionGenerate = true;
}
});
}
​
private void MyInterstitialAd_ErrorOccurred(object sender, AdErrorEventArgs e)
{
showResult = ShowResult.Error;
}
private void MyInterstitialAd_Completed(object sender, object e)
{
showResult = ShowResult.Completed;
}
private void MyInterstitialAd_Cancelled(object sender, object e)
{
showResult = ShowResult.Cancelled;
}
}
}
6. Build the solution.
7. copy the WindowsAdsComponent.winmd file from ...\WindowsAds\WindowsAdsComponent\bin\x64\Release directory to your Asset\Plugins\WSA Unity project directory.
8. In your Unity game project, create a C# script called "AdsScript", and copy the following code.
​
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
​
#if WINDOWS_UWP
using WindowsAdsComponent;
#endif
​
public class AdsScript : MonoBehaviour
{
#if WINDOWS_UWP
private WindowsAds mWindowsAds;
private bool mbUnityThread = false; //used to send the event to Unity main thread.
private ShowResult showResult;
public delegate void VideoShow(WindowsAdsComponent.ShowResult showResult);
public event VideoShow onVideoShow;
#endif
​
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
#if WINDOWS_UWP
mWindowsAds = new WindowsAds();
//mWindowsAds.AppId = fill with your store App ID string here
//mWindowsAds.AdUnitId = fill with your store Ads Unit ID string here
mWindowsAds.videoShow += OnVideoShow;
#endif
}
​
public void ShowRewardedVideo()
{
#if (UNITY_IOS || UNITY_ANDROID)
#endif
#if WINDOWS_UWP
mWindowsAds.ShowVideo();
#endif
}
​
#if WINDOWS_UWP
private void OnVideoShow(object sender, ShowResult e)
{
mbUnityThread = true;
showResult = e;
}
​
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if (onVideoShow != null && mbUnityThread)
{
mbUnityThread = false;
onVideoShow(showResult);
}
}
#endif
}
9. Now you can use the following code anywhere in a C# script associated to a gameobject item like gem or anything else.
​
​
AdsScrip ads = FindObjectOfType<AdsScript>();
ads.onVideoShow += ads_onVideoShow;
//Make a request to show a video ad.
ads.ShowRewardedVideo();
//Events from Microsoft ads server
#if WINDOWS_UWP
private void mAds_onVideoShow(WindowsAdsComponent.ShowResult showResult)
{
if (showResult == WindowsAdsComponent.ShowResult.Completed)
{
//the ad was fully viewed
}
if (showResult == WindowsAdsComponent.ShowResult.Cancelled)
{
//the ad was cancelled by the player
}
if (showResult == WindowsAdsComponent.ShowResult.Ready)
{
//the ad is ready to be shown
}
if (showResult == WindowsAdsComponent.ShowResult.Error)
{
//an errors has occured
}
}
#endif
​
10. Export your project to UWP.
10. !!THE MOST IMPORTANT!!
Open your UWP project with Visual Studio and add a Microsoft advertising SDK reference.
