Hi,

Is AdMob (google ads) support integrated in SDL2?  
I cannot find it on my latest clone but I see some references on the net.  
SDL\_android.h should have these functions:

extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL\_ANDROID\_GetAdvertisementParams(int \*  
visible, SDL\_Rect \* position);  
extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL\_ANDROID\_SetAdvertisementParams(int  
visible, int left, int top);

If its not official yet, can you please check/integrate it, it would help  
a lot of us.

thanks,  
Giorgos

Huh, is that really within the scope of SDL? Shouldn’t it be handled separately?

What I don’t know though is if SDL allows external Android functions  
like that to be linked in. If not, then SDL should probably provide  
some support for such a thing (which would be useful for way more than  
just this, of course).

Um, patches welcome I guess?  
Oh don’t forget iAd integration too…

ok seriously, I find it quite outside the scope of SDL
