Please follow these instructions for adding Smaato to AdMob and DFP as a secondary ad network.

  1. First, import the Soma SDK and the AdMob/DFP SDK to the project.
  2. Then, copy/paste the desired adapter classes to your project. The SDK ZIP file contains three adapters for AdMob/DFP under the “Mediation Adapter” directory:
    • AdMobMediationAdapter.java for banner ads
    • InterstitialAdMobMediationAdapter.java for interstitial ads
    • VideoAdMobMediationAdapter.java for video interstitial ads
  2. This guide assumes the adapters are placed in the package com.smaato.soma.MediationAdapter.
  1. Log in to your Admob account.
  2. For your ad unit, click on X ad source in the Mediation column.
  3. Click on New Ad Network.
  4. Click on Custom Event in the header row of the Available ad networks form.
  5. As Class Name enter the fully qualified name of your adapter class (e.g., com.smaato.soma.MediationAdapter.AdMobMediationAdapter)
  6. As Parameter enter your Smaato publisher ID and SPX Adspace ID in the form of publisher=<yourPublisherID>&adspace=<yourAdSpaceID>
  7. Choose a label.
  8. Click Save.

Integrating Unity With the AdMob Mediation Adapter

Prerequisites:

  • The AdMob SDK is integrated into your Unity project

    3. Make all the needed modification in the mediation adapter (e.g., choose the ad dimension)
    4. Copy and paste the generated .jar file from the /bin folder to /Asset/Plugins/Android in your unity project
    5. Run the Unity project.
