I am getting the following error on line 12 of my test.monkey file
chartboost = New Chartboost

Monkey Runtime Error : Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()

        this.cb.onStart(this);
        
        // notify the beginning of the user session. must not be dependent on user action or any prior network requests
        this.cb.startSession();

        if (this.cb.onBackPressed())
            return;
        else
            super.onBackPressed();
    }
    
    public void ShowAd() {
        // Show an interstitial
        this.cb.showInterstitial();
    }
}

I searched around and found some talk of a runOnUiThread function. Does anyone understand how to use this function?

Thanks

Getting closer I think....still no ad

Chartboost.android.java

// import the Chartboost SDK
import com.chartboost.sdk.*;

//class chartboost extends Activity {
class BBChartboost implements Runnable {
    
    static BBChartboost _chartboost;
    
    static Activity _activity;
    static Chartboost cb;
    
    static public BBChartboost GetChartboost(){
		if( _chartboost==null ) _chartboost=new BBChartboost();
		return _chartboost;
	}
	
	static public void startSession(){
		_activity = BBAndroidGame.AndroidGame().GetActivity();
		
        // Configure Chartboost
        //this.cb = Chartboost.sharedChartboost();
        final String appId = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
        final String appSignature = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
        //this.cb.onCreate(_activity, appId, appSignature, null);
        
        //cb = Chartboost.sharedChartboost();
        try
        {
            _activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    // Configure Chartboost
                    cb = Chartboost.sharedChartboost();
                    cb.onCreate(_activity, appId, appSignature, null);
                    cb.startSession();
                    cb.showInterstitial(); // i would rather call this in a separate function
                }
            });
        }
        catch (Exception ex) {}
	}
    
    public void ShowAd() {
        // Show an interstitial
        //cb.showInterstitial();
    }
    
    public void run(){
	}

After implementing the ChartboostDelegate, it looks like shouldDisplayInterstitial and didShowInterstitial are not getting hit for some reason.

Any help??

didFailToLoadInterstitial is getting hit and the error is "NO_AD_LOADED". Yelp

Chartboost seems to be a hit and miss with Monkey. Yesterday I tried an old sample I did (which didn't show anything besides test ads) and it suddenly started working, showing ads and all... a couple of seconds later, no ads whatsoever again.

I gave up on them :P

Alex	(Posted 2014) [#6]

Have you tried to set Test Mode - Enabled in the chartboost dashboard?
Sometimes there's just no ad for your region ;)

Alex	(Posted 2014) [#7]

Guys, have anyone tried to use this module with newest chartboost sdk?

3.1.5 doesn't work I assume. For me at least. Maybe I do something wrong?
No error, build is okay, however the ads don't show at all in test mode or not.

Tested on emulator and Android 4.4.2. Monkey v. 77f

Try with Bluestack emulator or with a real device. On Android default emulator usually ads (not only from Chartboost) won't show up.

Alex	(Posted 2014) [#9]

Nothing on real device (

Will try this:
