Admob test before publishing

Make sure you run “GenerateProjectFiles.bat” to create the project files and UE4.sln
Open UE4.sln in Visual Studio 2013
Select “Development” from the solution configurations
Select “Android” or “Tegra-Android” from the solution platforms
Open up Engine and right click on UE4 and select Rebuild

That should do it. If you want to confirm, check in Engine/Binaries/Android and see the timestamp on
UE4Game-armv7-es2.so; it should be new. Now you can use this for launching or packaging.

Okay, I can’t even find “GenerateProjectFiles.bat” on my computer. I’ve searched the Engine Directory, my project folders, and even my entire C: drive. Can I download this file from Github?

Here is the steps in the docs:

The GenerateProjectFiles.bat should be in the directory above Engine.

Okay so I built UE4.9 on Win64, but couldn’t open my project (which was created on UE4.8 non-source code version). I then tried to build the UE4.sln for Android, and received two errors:

Error 1 error : UE4Editor does not support the Android platform. C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UnrealEngine-release\Engine\Intermediate\ProjectFiles\EXEC UE4

Error 2 error MSB3075: The command “…\Build\BatchFiles\Rebuild.bat UE4Editor Android Development” exited with code 5. Please verify that you have sufficient rights to run this command. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\Microsoft.MakeFile.Targets 43 5 UE4

NDKROOT environment variable needs to be defined.

Okay I was finally able to successfully build UE4.9 with Development Android config. My “UE4Game-armv7-es2.so” file has the correct timestamp. Now do I need to start a new debug instance of the UE4.9 solution file in VS, and carry out the android packaging from that instance of UE4?

No, updating the .so is all you need, not a new editor. Just package your project with the new .so.

As of 2024, you can use these admob ids for testing.

have you done this successfully? I cant get banner or anything to show with these test ids. i have the correct index. I have done backflips with admob. ive gone as far as watching videos that have my adding implementations to build.gradle and adding things to android.manifest.

my understanding is that showing test ads should be really easy. setup admob, add test IDs, add blueprint. All of my google play support fields are filled in correctly in project settings. i have checked and rechecked. my admob account is verified, connected to adsense and firebase. my app-ads,txt is setup. im not even trying to show live ads. i just wanna see a test ad pop up using test ids. any support here is appreciated!
