AdResult adInitialize(

const AdInitParams* theInitParams,

AdInterfacePtr * theInterfaceOut );

Return Value

This function returns AdResult_NO_ERROR upon success. Otherwise a valid AdResult error condition is returned. (see remarks)

Parameters

theInitParams

[in] Structure with SDK runtime settings

theInterfaceOut

[out] AdInterfacePtr to be initialized

Remarks

This function will initialize an AdInterfacePtr which may then be passed to the Ad SDK interface functions.

The AdInitParams parameter is a structure of SDK runtime options. Please see the developer guide documentation for a description of each field.

Example

	AdInterfacePtr anInterface  = NULL;
	AdResult       aResult      = AdResult_NO_ERROR;

		// Set run-time parameters
		AdInitParams anInitParams;
		memset(&anInitParams;, 0, sizeof(AdInitParams));
		anInitParams.mGameId = GAME_ID;
anInitParams.mOfflineFilePath = "ad";
		
		printf("Initializing the Ad SDK\r\n");
		aResult = adInitialize(&anInitParams;, &anInterface;);
		if (aResult != AdResult_NO_ERROR)
		{
			printf("adInitialize failed (%d)\r\n", aResult);
			return 0;
		}
