Integrating Ad Formats

In this section, we will cover the ad format set up for the MoPub and Smaato as secondary.

Banner Ads

Requirements:

• The latest Smaato SDK
• The latest MoPub SDK
• From version 6.0.0 onwards, the Smaato adapter implemented support for onBannerClicked() MoPub custom event. This addition also added support for onBannerLoaded(View) and onBannerFailed(MoPubErrorCode)

First, add the following permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

Then declare the following MoPub and Smaato activities:

<!--Mopub -->
<activity android:name="com.mopub.mobileads.MoPubActivity"
 android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"/>
<activity android:name="com.mopub.mobileads.MraidActivity"
 android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"/>
<activity android:name="com.mopub.common.MoPubBrowser"
 android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"/>
<activity android:name="com.mopub.mobileads.MraidVideoPlayerActivity"
 android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"/>
 
<!--Smaato-->
<activity android:name="com.smaato.soma.interstitial.InterstitialActivity" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize">
</activity>
<activity android:name="com.smaato.soma.ExpandedBannerActivity" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize">
</activity>

Next, in your “Activity,” add the following lines of code to your onCreate method:

MoPubView mAdView = (MoPubView) findViewById(R.id.adview);
mAdView.setAdUnitId("your_mo_pub_ad_unit_id"); // Enter your Ad Unit ID from www.mopub.com
mAdView.loadAd();

Then declare your view in your layout.xml by adding the following lines:

<com.mopub.mobileads.MoPubView
android:id="@+id/adview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp" />

Now add the SomaMopubAdapter.java class to the com.smaato.soma.mopubcustomevent package (i.e. copy paste the class included in the SDK download).

The following MoPub custom events are supported by Smaato’s Banner Adapter:

• onBannerLoaded(View)
• onBannerFailed(MoPubErrorCode)
• onBannerClicked()

Native Ads

MoPub native ads can now be mediated to show Smaato ads by using custom event settings along with Smaato Adapters on the MoPub dashboard.

The following MoPub Custom Events are supported by Smaato’s Native Adapter:

• notifyAdClicked
• notifyAdImpressed
• preCacheImages

Native Ads in the MoPub Dashboard

1. Set up a MoPub native ad unit.
2. Create a Custom Native Network on MoPub dashboard (or use your existing one from the previous steps).
3. Enter com.smaato.soma.mopubcustomevent.SomaMopubNativeCustomEvent in the field CUSTOM EVENT CLASS. You can place or rename the adapter file as you wish in your project. Therefore you need to consider the new name or location when you setup the CUSTOM EVENT CLASS in MoPub dashboard.
4. Enter {"publisherId": "0","adSpaceId": "3075"} in the CUSTOM EVENT CLASS DATA field. This will show a demo native ad from Smaato. So, please update it according to your publisher id and adspace id.

Native Ad Android App Setup – MoPub

1. Add the Mopub SDK and display a native ad unit (according to Mopub’s setup instructions).
2. Add the Smaato Android SDK into the project.
3. Add the SomaMopubNativeCustomEvent file and place it inside the package com.smaato.soma.mopubcustomevent in your app.
4. Edit the SomaMopubNativeCustomEvent class if you need any customization.

Interstitial Ad Customization in MoPub

If you need any customization to decide on when to show the ad, update the listener methods as needed.

For example, if you would like to show SmaatoAd, only when calling MoPubInterstitial.show(), update the onReadyToShow() method as per the following code:

@Overridepublic void onReadyToShow() {
 
   new CrashReportTemplate<Void>() {
      @Override
      public Void process() throws Exception {
 
         mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
               customEventInterstitialListener.onInterstitialLoaded();
            }
         });
 
         return null;
      }
   }.execute();
 
}
