Step 4: Under the Waterfall section

  • Press on Add Custom Events
  • Set Label and an eCPM value
800

Step 5: Configure eCPM

You should allocate the Appnext eCPM manually in order for Appnext to show ads in your AdMob SDK.
You can configure the eCPM for the Appnext network in the ‘Mediation’ page and press ‘Save’ after each change:

463
  • In the “Custom Event” details fill the following details:
    • Class name: com.appnext.sdk.adapters.admob.ads.AppnextAdMobCustomEventFullScreenVideo
    • Parameter: Appnext Placement ID
612
  • Finally, press ‘Done’ at the bottom of the page.

  • Choose the ‘Ad unit’ you want to add Appnext’s custom event from the ‘Ad units’ list by pressing its ‘ad sources’ link

596
  • Click the "Save" button on the "Mediation" page to save the newly added ‘Ad Network‘

Step 6: You’re all done!

Your AdMob SDK should start showing Appnext ads immediately. If Appnext ads are not shown, check the eCPM allocation and make sure it’s high enough so it will give Appnext priority.

Configuring the ad unit - Fullscreen

The Appnext SDK provides an option to change the ad unit’s configuration.
By default, the SDK configuration will be loaded from Appnext's server, but you can choose to change it directly by creating a FullscreenConfig object for the FullScreenVideo, and call any of the following setters before loading the ad by the AdMob loadAd interface.

FullscreenConfig config = new FullscreenConfig();
config.setButtonColor("#ffffff");
config.setButtonText("Install");
config.setPostback("Your_Postback_Params");
config.setCategories("Categories");
config.setMute(false);
config.setProgressType(FullScreenVideo.PROGRESS_CLOCK);
config.setProgressColor("#ffffff");
config.setVideoLength(FullScreenVideo.VIDEO_LENGTH_DEFAULT);
config.setOrientation(FullScreenVideo.ORIENTATION_AUTO);

Bundle customEventExtras = new Bundle();
customEventExtras.putSerializable(AppnextAdMobCustomEvent.AppnextConfigurationExtraKey, config);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().addCustomEventExtrasBundle(AppnextAdMobCustomEventFullScreenVideo.class, customEventExtras).build();
mCustomisedCustomEventFullScreen.loadAd(adRequest);
