Manual Integration

Step 1: Get SDK files

Download the ZIP file containing the included AAR files listed below:

• Appnext
  • AppnextAndroidSDKCore.aar - SDK core
  • AppnextAndroidSDKAds.aar - Interstitial and fullscreen/rewarded ad units
  • AppnextAndroidSDKBanners.aar - Banners ad unit
  • AppnextAndroidSDKNativeAds.aar - Native ads ad unit
• Admob
  • AppnextAndroidAdmobAdapterAds.aar- Interstitial ad unit via Admob adapter
  • AppnextAndroidAdmobAdapterBanners.aar- Banners ad unit via Admob adapter
• MAX
  • AppnextAndroidMaxAdapterAds.aar- Interstitial, Banners and Fullscreen ad unit via MAX adapter

Step 2: Add 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)

Step 3: Add the relevant AAR files to your project

• Add the AAR files according to your relevant ad unit integration
• All AAR files must be from the same version (download the latest ZIP file to be sure)

dependencies {
  implementation name:'AppnextAndroidSDKAds.aar', ext:'aar'
  implementation name:'AppnextAndroidSDKBanners.aar', ext:'aar'
  implementation name:'AppnextAndroidSDKNativeAds.aar', ext:'aar'
  implementation name:'AppnextAndroidSDKActions.aar', ext:'aar'
  implementation name:'AppnextAndroidAdmobAdapterAds.aar', ext:'aar'
  implementation name:'AppnextAndroidAdmobAdapterBanners.aar', ext:'aar'
  implementation name:'AppnextAndroidMaxAdapterAds.aar', ext:'aar'
  implementation name:'AppnextAndroidSDKCore.aar', ext:'aar' // Mandatory
}

example

adding the Interstitial and fullscreen/rewarded will be implemented in the following way:

dependencies {
  implementation name:'AppnextAndroidSDKAds.aar', ext:'aar' // Interstitial and fullscreen/rewarded
  implementation name:'AppnextAndroidSDKCore.aar', ext:'aar' // Mandatory
}

Step 4: Google Play Services

Add the following mandatory dependency to the dependencies section:

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:18.0.1' // Mandatory
}

Step 5: Work Manager

Add the following mandatory dependency to the dependencies section:

dependencies {
  implementation 'androidx.annotation:annotation:1.3.0' // Mandatory
  implementation "androidx.work:work-runtime:2.7.1"  // Mandatory
}

Step 6: Glide Implementation

Add the following mandatory dependency to the dependencies section:

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.12.0' // Mandatory
  annotationProcessor 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.12.0' // Mandatory
}

Step 7: App Permissions and Services

Add the following app permissions to your Android manifest file:

{
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
}

Step 8: Update the ProGuard Configuration

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

Done !

Now when you integrated AppNext SDK with your app,
Go ahead and implement an ad unit !
