SDK Manager

In the Android SDK Manager window，select Extras> Google Repository, and click on Install Packages start to download after accepting the license agreement。If the Install Packages button cannot be used，don't worry. It means you have the latest version already. You don't need to take any action in SDK Manger.

Add dependencies dependency (usually defined in app/build.gradle), more details in app/build.gradle

   -keep class * extends java.util.ListResourceBundle {
       protected java.lang.Object[][] getContents();
   }
   
   # Keep SafeParcelable value, needed for reflection. This is required to support backwards
   # compatibility of some classes.
   -keep public class com.google.android.gms.common.internal.safeparcel.SafeParcelable {
       public static final *** NULL;
   }
   
   # Keep the names of classes/members we need for client functionality.
   -keep @interface com.google.android.gms.common.annotation.KeepName

   -keep public class com.google.android.gms.flags.impl.FlagProviderImpl {
     public <fields>; public <methods>;
   }
   

During development, it is recommended to utilize test ads to avoid generating false impressions. To enable test ads, add the HASH_ID before loading an ad:

AdRequest request =
    AdRequest.newBuilder().testDeviceId("YOUR_HASH_ID").put("YOUR_PUB").build();

YOUR_HASH_ID is printed to the logcat when you first make a request to load an ad. Example:

Once you load an ad with test device id, you should see something like this:

• Banner

  

• Interstitial

  

• Follow our guide on Initialize SDK to start sdk integration.
