Mediator SDK integration - adiant/android-sdk-example GitHub Wiki

This page describes how to display Adblade's ads using a third-party SDK. If you wish to use Adblade's SDK to render Adblade's ads, then please read our Getting started guide.

MoPub

Add the Adblade SDK to your build

See our Getting started guide for instructions on including the Adblade SDK in your build.

Add Adblade's custom event files to your code

If you wish to integrate Banner or Interstitial ads, create a com.mopub.mobileads package in your project. Then, copy to this package AdbladeBanner.java for banner ads or AdbladeInterstitial.java for interstitial ads.

If you wish to integrate Native ads, create a com.mopub.nativeads package in your project. Then, copy to this package AdbladeNative.java.

For MoPub 3.x: You should copy AdbladeNative-v3.java instead, and rename the file to AdbladeNative.java.

You can integrate all three types of ads, a combination of them, or a single ad type.

Enable custom events on the MoPub web interface

On the MoPub web interface, create a network with the Custom Native Network type. Copy the value from the table below into the Custom Event Class field for the type of Adblade ads you want to display.

Ad Type	Custom Event Class
Banner	com.mopub.mobileads.AdbladeBanner
Interstitial	com.mopub.mobileads.AdbladeInterstitial
Native	com.mopub.nativeads.AdbladeNative

Additionally, you must specify your Adblade container's ID in the Custom Event Class Data field. The contents of the field must be valid JSON. For example, if your container's ID is 12345-0001112220, then you would enter this into the field:

{"container_id": "12345-0001112220"}

Add the Adblade activity to your manifest

This is required only to display Adblade's interstitial ads.

To display interstitial ads, you must add Adblade's AdActivity to your AndroidManifest.xml. Please see the Interstitial ads guide for instructions.

Render the native ad's display name

This is required only to display Adblade's native ads.

Adblade's native ads contain a "display name" field that is not directly supported by MoPub. It describes the advertiser, and it might ordinarily be prefixed with "Sponsored by." It has a maximum length of 25 characters.

To display this field, you will need to edit your native ad's layout XML to add a new TextView. Or, you can re-use an existing field in your native ad's layout XML.

Then, you must add an extra field when you create your ViewBinder. If the ID of the view that will display the "display name" is textViewDisplayName, then you would add this function call:

addExtra(com.mopub.nativeads.AdbladeNative.EXTRA_DISPLAY_NAME, R.id.textViewDisplayName)

Afterward, your complete ViewBinder creation might look like this:

ViewBinder binder = new ViewBinder.Builder(R.layout.list_item_native_ad)
    .mainImageId(R.id.imageView)
    .titleId(R.id.textViewTitle)
    .textId(R.id.textViewDescription)
    .addExtra(com.mopub.nativeads.AdbladeNative.EXTRA_DISPLAY_NAME, R.id.textViewDisplayName)
    .privacyInformationIconImageId(R.id.native_ad_daa_icon_image)
    .build();

Display ads as usual

No other changes are required to your code. Use the MoPub dashboard to set up the corresponding network campaigns and target the proper ad units.

Admob

Add the Adblade SDK to your build

See our Getting started guide for instructions on including the Adblade SDK in your build.

Add Adblade's custom event files to your code

If you wish to integrate Banner or Interstitial ads, create a com.adiant.android.ads.admob package in your project. Then, copy to this package AdbladeBanner.java for banner ads or AdbladeInterstitial.java for interstitial ads.

You can integrate both of the ad types or a single ad type.

Enable custom events on the Admob web interface

On the Admob web interface, find your app on Monetize tab. Click on the "ad sources" link in the Ad Units table. Click on the New Network button, then click the Custom Event button. You will be prompted for information about the custom event. Copy the value from the table below into the Class Name field for the type of Adblade ads you want to display.

Ad Type	Class Name
Banner	com.adiant.android.ads.admob.AdbladeBanner
Interstitial	com.adiant.android.ads.admob.AdbladeInterstitial

Additionally, you must specify your Adblade container's ID in the Parameter field. While this field is listed as optional, it is required to display Adblade ads.

Also, you must enter a label. This value will not affect the way your ads are displayed.

Add the Adblade activity to your manifest

This is required only to display Adblade's interstitial ads.

To display interstitial ads, you must add Adblade's AdActivity to your AndroidManifest.xml. Please see the Interstitial ads guide for instructions.

Display ads as usual

No other changes are required to your code.

Amazon

Amazon's Ads SDK does not support mediation. However, you can use Adblade's SDK as a fallback for Amazon's SDK. Amazon provides an example of how this can be done. The example can be adapted to use Adblade. While this example is for banners, interstitial ads will work as well.

public class ExampleAdActivity extends Activity implements com.amazon.device.ads.AdListener
    private ViewGroup adViewContainer;
    private com.amazon.device.ads.AdLayout amazonAdView;
    private com.adiant.android.ads.AdView adbladeAdView;
    private boolean amazonAdEnabled;

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        // register your ID with the Amazon SDK
        com.amazon.device.ads.AdRegistration.setAppKey(APP_ID);

        // initialize the Amazon ad view
        amazonAdView = new com.amazon.device.ads.AdLayout(this, com.amazon.device.ads.AdSize.SIZE_320x50);
        amazonAdView.setListener(this);
        
        // initialize the Adblade ad view
        adbladeAdView = new com.adiant.android.ads.AdView(this);      
        adbladeAdView.setAdSize(com.adiant.android.ads.AdSize.AD_320_50);
        adbladeAdView.setAdUnitId(MY_AD_UNIT_ID);

        // initialize view container
        adViewContainer = (ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.ad_view);
        amazonAdEnabled = true;
        adViewContainer.addView(amazonAdView);

        // load an ad
        amazonAdView.loadAd(new com.amazon.device.ads.AdTargetingOptions());
    }

    @Override
    public void onAdLoaded(com.amazon.device.ads.AdLayout view, AdProperties adProperties) {
        // Amazon ad was loaded
        // if necessary, replace Adblade view with Amazon view
        if (!amazonAdEnabled) {
            amazonAdEnabled = true;
            adViewContainer.removeView(adbladeAdView);
            adViewContainer.addView(amazonAdView);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onAdFailedToLoad(com.amazon.device.ads.AdLayout view, AdError error) {
        // Amazon could not load an ad
        // if necessary, replace Amazon view with Adblade view
        if (amazonAdEnabled) {
            amazonAdEnabled = false;
            adViewContainer.removeView(amazonAdView);
            adViewContainer.addView(adbladeAdView);
        }

        // call Adblade SDK for backfill
        adbladeAdView.loadAd();
    }
}
