Getting started

This page shows you how to download, import, and configure the Bidapp SDK.

Gradle (Recommended)

Open the build.gradle file of your app module (app-level build.gradle) in the root of your project.

In the dependencies section, add the following line:

Groovy

dependencies {
    implementation 'io.bidapp:bidapp-sdk:+'
    ⋮
}

Kotlin

Save the build.gradle file

Now, the Bidapp SDK is integrated into your Android project using Gradle.

Minimum supported version Android 7.0 (API level 24) or above

Integrate Networks SDK Adapters

Bidapp SDK contains implementations of adapters to other Networks SDKs.

To install them:

1. Open the build.gradle file of your app module (app-level build.gradle) in the root of your project.

2. In the dependencies section, add the following line or any combination of them:

Groovy

dependencies {
    implementation 'io.bidapp.networks:applovin:+'
    implementation 'io.bidapp.networks:applovinmax:+'
    implementation 'io.bidapp.networks:unity:+'
    implementation 'io.bidapp.networks:liftoff:+'
    implementation 'io.bidapp.networks:admob:+'
    implementation 'io.bidapp.networks:chartboost:+'
    implementation 'io.bidapp.networks:startIo:+'
    implementation 'io.bidapp.networks:facebook:+'
    implementation 'io.bidapp.networks:digitalturbine:+'
    ⋮
}

Kotlin

1. Save the build.gradle file

Before adding Admob adapter, it's crucial to add the Admob APPLICATION_ID as a meta-data in your AndroidManifest.xml file. This is mandatory for adapter to function correctly.

Before adding Applovin\Applovin MAX adapters, it's crucial to add the Applovin SDK KEY as a meta-data in your AndroidManifest.xml file. This is mandatory for adapters to function correctly.

Permissions

Make sure to add the next permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml to ensure the SDK functions as intended:

• For accessing the Google Advertising ID.

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID" />

This is required by the Android Advertising ID (AAID) module - com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier

• For analytics.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

• For the SDK to operate correctly.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Initialize the SDK

Initialize the SDK in your app onCreate() method of your launch Activity

Ad assets that are fully cached result in a better user experience. Therefore, always initialize the Bidapp SDK on startup to give mediated networks the maximum amount of time to cache ads. This is especially important with video ads.

Java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements   	BIDFullscreenLoadDelegate {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        BIDConfiguration bidConfig = new BIDConfiguration();
        
        // Comment out those ad formats that you don't use:
        bidConfig.enableInterstitialAds();
        bidConfig.enableRewardedAds();
        bidConfig.enableBannerAds_320x50();
        bidConfig.enableBannerAds_300x250();

        // TODO: replace this pubid with your personal one obtained from bidapp
        String pubid = "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx";

        BidappAds.start(pubid, bidConfig, this);
    }
}

Kotlin

Pay attention to the pubid string obtained earlier at Get the pubid string of this instruction.
