Usage

Installation

Manual

• Drag and drop the adcolony.jar into your project.
• Drag and drop the native libraries your application supports into your project.

Via Gradle

• See the project setup page on our Wiki.

Updating from 2.x:

Please note that updating from our 2.x SDK is not a drag and drop update, but rather includes breaking API and process changes. In order to take advantage of the 3.x SDK, a complete re-integration is necessary. Please review our documentation to get a better idea on what changes will be necessary in your app.

Quick Start

The basics of using the AdColony SDK to serve ads to your users are:

1. Configure the service
2. Request an ad (We recommend requesting a new ad when an ad expires)
3. Show the ad

For example:

AdColonyInterstitial _ad = null;
AdColonyInterstitialListener _listener = null;

void configure() {
    AdColony.configure(activity, null, /*app_id*/, /* zone_id_1, zone_id_2 */);

    _listener = new AdColonyInterstitialListener() {
        @Override
        public void onRequestFilled(AdColonyInterstitial ad) {
            _ad = ad;
        }
    };
}

void request() {
    AdColony.requestInterstitial(/* zone_id_1 */, activity, null);
}

void show() {
    if (_ad != null) {
        _ad.show();
    }
}
