How to make money from Android App Tutorial

Building Android Apps is fun, morethan that it is highly useful for earning something from it.
Through google adsense linked admob world wide ads website, we can monetize our apps & earn some bucks from it.

How it works ?
As the user install your app from google play or any other famous methods, you are not going to get paid.But when the user open your app and click on the ads appeared on it, the ads redirect to websites or their apps on google play with your id registered with admob, and so you get paid for it. Remember that you won't get 1$ for a single click, rather it depends on from where the user click and what type of ad it was.

NOTE: Don't try yourself to click on the ads to earn, it may take out your Adsense account for the lifetime.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
    ...

    dependencies {

    }
    

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
    ...

    dependencies {
        compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.6.1'
    }
    

Add google banner in activity_main.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"  
   xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"  
   android:id="@+id/activity_main"  
   android:layout_width="match_parent"  
   android:layout_height="match_parent"  
   android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"  
   android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"  
   android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"  
   android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"  
   tools:context="com.sabithpkcmnr.sampleadsapp.MainActivity">  
   <TextView  
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
     android:text="Hello World!" />  
   <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView  
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
     android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"  
     android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"  
     ads:adSize="BANNER"  
     ads:adUnitId="@string/banner_id"  
     android:id="@+id/adView" />  
 </RelativeLayout>  

we have added the google banner ad at the button of window


MainActivity

 com.sabithpkcmnr.admobsample;  
   
 import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;  
 import android.os.Bundle;  
 import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;  
 import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView;  
 public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {  
   private AdView mAdView;  
   @Override  
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
     setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
     mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);  
     AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()  
         .build();  
     mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);  
   }  
 }  

we had shown the ads programmatically in MainActivity

Strings

   <string name="banner_id">ca-app-pub-9985211134479428/9045934992</string>  

In the strings I have my banner ad id like this ca-app-pub-9985211134479428/9045934992
you can find your own from admob website after creating a ad (see the first part video on above)


finally add the app Permission to use internet in Android Manifiest


AndroidManifiest

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
 <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   package="com.sabithpkcmnr.admobsample">  
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />  
   <application  
     android:allowBackup="true"  
     android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"  
     android:label="@string/app_name"  
     android:supportsRtl="true"  
     android:theme="@style/AppTheme">  
     <activity android:name=".MainActivity">  
       <intent-filter>  
         <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />  
         <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />  
       </intent-filter>  
     </activity>  
   </application>  
 </manifest>  

That's it.

Finally we have ads on our app. Now share it maximum to the world and earn for each click.

Thanks for your time
