Usage & Implementation

Prerequisites

• Minimum SDK - 16
• Internet permission
• Multidex enabled

Initilization

Place the following in one of your Activities. It's recommended that you initilize AppBid as soon as possible, so a Splash Activity will be most suitable for this, but you can initilize the SDK in your main Activity as well.

AppBid.initialize(activity, "YOUR_API_KEY")

Loading & Showing Ads

The easiest way to load&show ads is using the following method -

AppBid.loadWithAutoShow();

This, as the signature suggests, loads an ad and show it as soon as it's ready.

Alternatively, you may load an ad and then show it when you see fit -

AppBid.load();

And -

AppBid.showLoadedAd();

It's worth mentioning that if you call AppBid.load() followed by AppBid.showLoadedAd(), when the ad isn't ready yet, then the SDK will show the ad once it's loaded.

Listener

Implement the following interface to listen to AppBid events -

public interface AdListener {
    void onAdLoaded();
    
    void onAdFailed();
    
    void onAdOpened();
    
    void onAdClicked();
    
    void onAdClosed();
}

Use it as such -

AppBid.setAdListener(...);

One useful usecase for using the listener is loading an ad and showing it when it's ready -

AppBid.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
    @Override
    public void onAdLoaded() {
        AppBid.showLoadedAd();
    }

    @Override
    public void onAdFailed() {

    }

    @Override
    public void onAdOpened() {

    }

    @Override
    public void onAdClicked() {

    }

    @Override
    public void onAdClosed() {

    }
});

AppBid.load();
