Admob Adapter Installation

Requirements

• The Appnext AdMob Adapter supports Android API 26+ when building for Android
• The Appnext AdMob Adapter requires internet access to pull ads information for your app

Adapter Integration

Latest version: 2.6.7.473 (released on Sep 12, 2022)

Using Gradle

Before updating a new SDK version, it is recommended to clear the Gradle cache and recompile the project.

Step 1: Define the root level gradle of the project

You need to paste it into the project gradle (Project integration App)

allprojects {
  repositories {
  maven { url "http://dl.appnext.com/" }
 }
}

Step 2: Define in the module build.gradle

You need to paste to the module gradle (Module App)

You're done! Go ahead and choose an ad unit to integrate with the adapter!

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.appnext.sdk.adapters:admob-ads:2.+' // Mandatory for interstitial and fullscreen/rewarded video ad units
  implementation 'com.appnext.sdk.adapters:admob-banners:2.+' // Mandatory for banners ad unit
  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:21.1.0' // Mandatory
}

Manual Integration (Not Recommended)

Step 1: Download the ZIP file with the SDK and adapter AAR files

Download the AAR files from here
The ZIP file includes the following AAR files;

• AppnextAndroidSDKCore.aar - The SDK core
• AppnextAndroidSDKAds.aar - For the interstitial and fullscreen/rewarded ad units
• AppnextAndroidSDKBanners.aar - For the banners ad unit
• AppnextAndroidSDKNativeAds.aar - For the native ads ad unit
• AppnextAndroidSDKActions.aar - For the actions ad unit
• AppnextAndroidAdmobAdapterAds.aar - The interstitial and fullscreen/rewarded ad units Admob adapter
• AppnextAndroidAdmobAdapterBanners.aar - The banners ad unit Admob adapter

Step 2: Add the AAR files to Your Project

Extract the ZIP file and add the relevant AAR files to your "libs" folder in your project;

• You must add the AppnextAndroidSDKCore.aar file (make sure to add it only once)
• Add other AAR files according to your relevant ad unit integration
• Add the relevant Mopub adapter AAR file accordingly
• All AAR files must be from the same version (download the latest ZIP file to be sure)

Ad the following code to the project's build.gradle

allprojects {
   repositories {
      jcenter()
      flatDir {
        dirs 'libs'
      }
   }
}

Step 3: Add the following code to the module's build.gradle

For example, adding the Ads AAR with the adapter AAR file:

dependencies {
  implementation name:'AppnextAndroidSDKCore.aar', ext:'aar' // Mandatory
  implementation name:'AppnextAndroidSDKAds.aar', ext:'aar'
  implementation name:'AppnextAndroidAdmobAdapterAds.aar', ext:'aar'
  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:21.1.0' // Mandatory
}

Step 4: ProGuard

Exclude Appnext from your proguard by using the line:

-keep class com.appnext.** { *; }
-dontwarn com.appnext.**

You're done! Go ahead and choose an ad unit to integrate with the adapter!
