Yandex Integration

Yandex Ads Integration

Overview

The admanagekit-yandex module provides Yandex Ads SDK providers for the multi-provider waterfall system. It supports all five ad types: interstitial, banner, native, app open, and rewarded.

Installation

1. Add Dependency

dependencies {
    implementation "com.github.i2hammad.AdManageKit:ad-manage-kit:v4.4.1"
    implementation "com.github.i2hammad.AdManageKit:ad-manage-kit-core:v4.4.1"
    implementation "com.github.i2hammad.AdManageKit:ad-manage-kit-yandex:v4.4.1"
}

The Yandex Mobile Ads SDK (com.yandex.android:mobileads) is included transitively.

2. Initialize

In your Application.onCreate():

import com.i2hammad.admanagekit.yandex.YandexProviderRegistration
import com.i2hammad.admanagekit.admob.provider.AdMobProviderRegistration
import com.i2hammad.admanagekit.core.ad.AdProviderConfig
import com.i2hammad.admanagekit.core.ad.AdUnitMapping

class MyApp : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()

        // ... existing AdManageKitConfig setup ...

        // Initialize Yandex SDK
        YandexProviderRegistration.initialize(this)

        // Create providers
        val admob = AdMobProviderRegistration.create()
        val yandex = YandexProviderRegistration.create()

        // Map your AdMob IDs to Yandex equivalents
        AdUnitMapping.register("ca-app-pub-xxx/your-interstitial", mapOf(
            "yandex" to "R-M-XXXXXX-Y"
        ))
        AdUnitMapping.register("ca-app-pub-xxx/your-native", mapOf(
            "yandex" to "R-M-XXXXXX-Y"
        ))
        // ... register all ad units ...

        // Set provider chains (AdMob primary, Yandex fallback)
        AdProviderConfig.setInterstitialChain(listOf(admob.interstitialProvider, yandex.interstitialProvider))
        AdProviderConfig.setBannerChain(listOf(admob.bannerProvider, yandex.bannerProvider))
        AdProviderConfig.setNativeChain(listOf(admob.nativeProvider, yandex.nativeProvider))
        AdProviderConfig.setAppOpenChain(listOf(admob.appOpenProvider, yandex.appOpenProvider))
        AdProviderConfig.setRewardedChain(listOf(admob.rewardedProvider, yandex.rewardedProvider))
    }
}

3. Done

No other code changes needed. All existing ad loading calls will automatically fall through to Yandex when AdMob fails.

Yandex Provider Classes

Ad Type	Provider Class	Description
Interstitial	YandexInterstitialProvider	Full-screen interstitial ads
Banner	YandexBannerProvider	Adaptive banner ads
Native	YandexNativeProvider	Size-aware native ads (small/medium/large)
App Open	YandexAppOpenProvider	App open ads on resume
Rewarded	YandexRewardedProvider	Rewarded video ads with reward callbacks

Native Ad Sizes

YandexNativeProvider renders different layouts based on the NativeAdSize hint from the consumer view:

SMALL (NativeBannerSmall)

Compact single-row layout:

[Icon] [Title + Domain] [CTA Button] [i]

• Icon (40dp) + title (single line) + CTA button
• Domain text below title
• Feedback icon inline

MEDIUM (NativeBannerMedium)

Vertical layout without media:

[Icon] [Title        ]
       [Domain       ]
[Body text...        ]
[    CTA Button      ]
[i] [Warning] [Sponsored]

• Header row: icon (48dp) + title + domain
• Body text (up to 3 lines)
• Full-width CTA button
• Required Yandex views: feedback, warning, sponsored

LARGE (NativeLarge / NativeTemplateView)

Full NativeBannerView template from Yandex SDK:

• Automatically renders all ad assets including media
• Uses Yandex's built-in template layout
• No custom view binding needed

Test Ad Unit IDs (Yandex Demo)

Ad Type	Test ID
Interstitial	demo-interstitial-yandex
Banner	demo-banner-yandex
Native	demo-native-content-yandex
App Open	demo-appopenad-yandex
Rewarded	demo-rewarded-yandex

Revenue Tracking

All Yandex providers automatically report paid events via the waterfall callback system. Revenue data from Yandex's ImpressionData is converted to AdKitAdValue and logged to Firebase Analytics as ad_paid_event, matching the existing AdMob revenue tracking format.

Yandex SDK Requirements

• Min SDK: 21+
• Yandex SDK Version: 7.18.1+ (included transitively)
• Kotlin: 1.7.10+
• Hardware acceleration: Required for video ads

Troubleshooting

"No ad unit ID for Yandex Ads, skipping"

Your ad unit ID is not registered in AdUnitMapping. Register the Yandex equivalent:

AdUnitMapping.register("your-admob-ad-unit-id", mapOf(
    "yandex" to "your-yandex-ad-unit-id"
))

"Failed to parse server's response"

This is a Yandex server-side issue with demo/test ad units. Ensure you have AdMob as a fallback in your chain:

AdProviderConfig.setInterstitialChain(listOf(
    yandex.interstitialProvider,
    admob.interstitialProvider  // fallback
))

Native ads not showing (SMALL/MEDIUM)

Yandex SDK requires domain, feedback, warning, and sponsored views to be bound. If any are missing, bindNativeAd() throws and the ad fails to load. This is handled internally by YandexNativeProvider -- ensure you're using the latest version.
