TWIDT: How to add Leadbolt ads on Andromo or Buzztouch as HTML ads

Screen-Shot-2013-04-15-at-12.04.33-PM.png

This is a quick guide about how to incorporate some of Leadbolt's HTML ads in Andromo or Buzztouch apps or any other app builder that does not currently have Leadbolt SDK.

How to add Leadbolt app wall to Andromo apps:

1)Head over to Leadbolt and sign up for an account:

(You should get a simple one page sign up page)

2) Wait for confirmation email and activate your account.

3) After you login, click on Apps

4) On your Apps page, click on Create New App/Mobile Web.

5) Fill in the details and click Create now.

6)Next click the green + sign next to your app to bring up a window as shown below, CLick on HTML ads on the, Ad type.

7) Go through the menus and customize your ad, and click add now at the end of the setup process.

8) You will get a screen with ad code/url as shown below

9) All apps needs to be approved by Leadbolt before they receive live ads, click on the Green arrow, saying apply app to send the app for approval

10) Now its time to add this to our andromo app.

11) There are two ways to add this to your app

a) Create an activity(Website) on your app, and add your URL from leadbolt for the    website URL

 

b) Create house ad in Admob and use this url to create a House ad to serve this URL.

 

You can try either or both, or so some studies to see what works best.

 

That’s all, now your app is receiving app wall ad from Leadbolt. You can also add a banner ad using the same process. Other ad formats are not available as HTML ads and have to wait till andromo incorporates their SDK.

 

Hope this was helpful, Please feel free to ask if you have any questions in the comments section or in android forum.

My Thoughts: Technology and Evolution

evolution-2.jpg

Evolution says that us humans start losing uses for body parts as we Start using them less and less. The human appendix is a good example of this. With the advancement in technology, we turn to our mobile phones and the web for any information we need these days. While this has made our life immensely easy, where are we heading with this in the decades to come?Here is what I worry about!!

I used to remember most of my friends and family phone numbers until 10 years ago when mobile phones were not that popular. Now that all the numbers are stored in the phone I honestly cannot even remember my work phone number. I used to be able to do simple math in my head with no difficulty. Heck, I used to be able to do even fairly complex math in my head. My nerdiness might have had something to do with that but nonetheless my point is that most people used to be able to do simple math and remember basic things with no problem. I did not need calculator or a computer to be able to calculate what the tax or tip on a certain item would be. Being a chemist, I used to be able to easily calculate molecular weight, do complex multiplications and divisions amongst many other things in my head.Now that I have my phone with me every waking second of my life. Well, it's right next to me when I sleep too, I turn to the calculator app or the web for most of the information and calculation needs.

What will happen to our memory and creativity as we start using them less and less over the decades to come? Now, when we need ideas on how to design our room we go look at sites like pinterest and Houzz... Instead of thinking for a second what color do I really like and what color would go well with my furniture etc.

where are we headed in the coming decades with the advancement in technology with our memory and creative skills. If everything we have learned from evolutions and sayings like practise makes a man perfect is true, it looks to me like we are headed to a future with technology where human innovation and creativity is actually going downhill. We are headed to a future where the start a new segrregation of people who continually continue to develop their mind as they are developing new technology and the technology users who start to loose the basic skills as they get deeper and deeper into the world of technology and forget how to read a dial watch,paper map, or even not knowing how to get their own home without the GPS directions. I believe, It's time to wait and think about where should we draw the line and stop using technology for basically every single thing in our life.

We need to find a balance between nature and technology before we reach the point of no return!!!

Welcome to my page

2012-06-30-14.06.04.jpg

Welcome to my page. My name is Bikul Koirala, I am originally from Nepal and came to the states for schooling in 2003. I lived in Pocatello, Idaho for 5.5 year, then worked in Champaign, Illinois for three years before moving to beautiful Fort Collins, Colorado in 2011. I am a Chemist by training and work as an Analytical Chemist in Biobased chemicals industry. I am passionate about my work and am glad to have an opportunity to play a role in finding alternative fuels and chemicals and create a sustainable environment.

In my free time, which is not much these days with almost 2.5 hrs of commuting everyday, I love developing various kinds of mobile applications( www.kduoapps.com & www.themissinglynx.com) . Whenever, I find more time to spend  on my interest I hope to be able to create scientific and educational applications that will combine education with the modern technology to bring interactive learning to people's phone and tablets.

In this blog, I will be writing about biofuels/ biobased chemicals, mobile apps, education, my personal views on day to day things, and my motherland Nepal.

  • Examination of prehistoric artifacts via fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) techniques using modern environmental stewardship

    • Journal of Archaeological Science
    • June 2009
    Authors: Bikul Koirala, Jeffrey Rosentreter

    Elucidating the specific use and purpose of archaeological specimens such as stone axes and grinding stones can improve the understanding of an area's ecosystem and civilization. Chemical analysis of residues preserved on these tools may provide key information in identifying how the tool was implemented. The arid US Great Basin provides an ideal environment for the preservation of fatty acid...more

  • Influence of hormonal status on behavioral responses to an acute ethanol challenge during ethanol withdrawal in male and female rats

    • Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior
    • October 2008
    Authors: Bikul Koirala, Paul E. Alele, Leslie L. Devaud

    We previously reported significant sex differences in ethanol withdrawal (EW) recovery as well as in sensitivity to GABAA receptor modulators during EW. The aim of the present study was to determine if hormonal status moderated behavioral responses to an acute ethanol challenge in EW animals comparing two different behaviors. An initial set of experiments explored motor-incoordinating effects of...more
