将 Chartboost 与中介集成

This guide shows you how to use the Google Mobile Ads SDK to load and display ads from Chartboost using mediation, covering waterfall integrations. It covers how to add Chartboost to an ad unit's mediation configuration, and how to integrate the Chartboost SDK and adapter into an Android app.

Supported integrations and ad formats

The mediation adapter for Chartboost has the following capabilities:

Integration
Bidding
Waterfall
Formats
Banner
Interstitial
Rewarded
Native

Requirements

• Android API level 21 or higher

• Latest Google Mobile Ads SDK

• Complete the mediation Get started guide

Step 1: Set up configurations in Chartboost UI

Sign up for a Chartboost account and log in once your account is verified. Then, navigate to the Apps management tab.

Click the Add new app button to create your app.

Fill out the rest of the form and click the Add App button to finalize your app.

After your app is created, you will be directed to its dashboard. Take note of the App ID and App Signature of your app.

Note: You can go to your app's dashboard by navigating to the Apps management tab shown earlier and selecting your app.

Ad Manager requires the Chartboost User ID and User Signature for setting up your Ad Manager ad unit ID. You can find these parameters by clicking Chartboost mediation on the Chartboost UI.

Navigate to the Resources > API Explorer tab and take note of your User ID and User Signature located under the Authentication section.

Turn on test mode

You can enable test mode on your app by navigating to the Apps management tab from the Chartboost UI, selecting your app from the list and clicking on Edit app settings.

From your app's settings, you can toggle Test mode on your app.

Once test mode is enabled, you can request ads using the ad unit ID created earlier and receive a Chartboost test ad.

After you are able to receive Chartboost test ads, your app will be placed on Chartboost's Publisher App Review. In order for monetization on Chartboost to work, the publisher app review will need to be approved by Chartboost.

Step 2: Set up Chartboost demand in Ad Manager UI

为广告单元配置中介设置

登录您的 Ad Manager 帐号。

依次转到投放 > 收益组，然后点击新建收益组按钮。

为您的收益组输入一个独一无二的名称，将状态设为有效，选择广告格式，然后将广告资源类型设为移动应用。在定位 > 广告资源部分下，选择广告资源和移动应用（您要向其中添加中介）下方的广告单元。

接下来，点击添加收益合作伙伴按钮。

如果您已有Chartboost的收益合作伙伴，可以选择它。否则，请选择创建新的收益合作伙伴。

选择 Chartboost 作为广告联盟，输入一个具有唯一性的名称并启用中介。

开启自动收集数据，然后输入在上一部分中获取的User ID and User Signature 。

选择收益合作伙伴后，选择移动 SDK 中介作为集成类型，选择 Android 作为平台，选择有效作为状态。输入在上一部分获得的App ID, App Signature and Ad Location 。然后，输入默认每千次展示费用值。

Chartboost 广告位置（已命名的位置）是一些简单的名称，代表您要在应用中展示广告的位置。Ad Manager 会向设置中指定的位置发送请求。请求发送后，Chartboost 会将该位置信息添加到其界面中，以供报告之用。

注意： Ad Manager 能够估算 Chartboost 应用中前三个广告位置的每千次展示费用。所有其他位置将通过混合每千次展示费用来表示。

在 Chartboost 界面中，点击 Advanced Settings 方法，即可在 Basic Settings 页面中显示您的广告位置。如需了解详情，请参阅 Chartboost 命名的位置指南。

重要提示： App ID 必须与目标应用相关联，就像在Chartboost 界面中一样。

完成后，点击页面底部的保存。

注意： 自动数据收集功能需要几天时间来收集数据，然后才能准确计算中介广告联盟的动态 CPM 值。可以计算出 eCPM 后，系统会自动为您更新该值。

Add Chartboost to GDPR and US state regulations ad partners list

Important: Verify that you have Account Management permission to complete the configuration for EU Consent and GDPR, CPRA, and User Messaging Platform. See Manage user access to your account for details.

按照 GDPR 设置 和 美国州级法规设置 中的步骤，将 Chartboost 添加到 Ad Manager 界面中的 GDPR 和美国州级法规广告合作伙伴列表中。

Step 3: Import the Chartboost SDK and adapter

Note: Failure to integrate the compatible Chartboost and Google Mobile Ads SDK versions might lead to build issues.

Android Studio integration (recommended)

In your project-level settings.gradle.kts file, add the following repositories:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
  repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
      url = uri("https://cboost.jfrog.io/artifactory/chartboost-ads/")
    }
  }
}

Then, in your app-level build.gradle.kts file, add the following implementation dependencies and configurations. Use the latest versions of the Chartboost SDK and adapter:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:23.2.0")
    implementation("com.google.ads.mediation:chartboost:9.7.0.0")
}

Manual integration

1. Download the .aar file of the latest version of the Chartboost SDK from Maven Central, and add it to your project.

2. Navigate to the Chartboost adapter artifacts on Google's Maven Repository. Select the latest version, download the Chartboost adapter's .aar file, and add it to your project.

Step 4: Implement privacy settings on Chartboost SDK

EU consent and GDPR

Under the Google EU User Consent Policy, you must ensure that certain disclosures are given to, and consents obtained from, users in the European Economic Area (EEA) regarding the use of device identifiers and personal data. This policy reflects the requirements of the EU ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When seeking consent, you must identify each ad network in your mediation chain that may collect, receive, or use personal data and provide information about each network's use. Google currently is unable to pass the user's consent choice to such networks automatically.

In SDK version 8.1.0, Chartboost added the addDataUseConsent() method. The following sample code sets data use consent to NON_BEHAVIORAL. If you choose to call this method, it is recommended that you do so prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

Java

DataUseConsent dataUseConsent = new GDPR(GDPR.GDPR_CONSENT.NON_BEHAVIORAL);
Chartboost.addDataUseConsent(context, dataUseConsent);

Kotlin

val dataUseConsent = GDPR(GDPR.GDPR_CONSENT.NON_BEHAVIORAL)
Chartboost.addDataUseConsent(context, dataUseConsent)

See Chartboost's GDPR article and their Android Privacy Methods for more details and the values that can be provided in each method.

US states privacy laws

U.S. states privacy laws require giving users the right to opt out of the "sale" of their "personal information" (as the law defines those terms), with the opt-out offered via a prominent "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on the "selling" party's homepage. The U.S. states privacy laws compliance guide offers the ability to enable restricted data processing for Google ad serving, but Google is unable to apply this setting to each ad network in your mediation chain. Therefore, you must identify each ad network in your mediation chain that may participate in the sale of personal information and follow guidance from each of those networks to ensure compliance.

In SDK version 8.1.0, Chartboost added the addDataUseConsent() method. The following sample code sets data use consent to OPT_IN_SALE. If you choose to call this method, it is recommended that you do so prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

Java

DataUseConsent dataUseConsent = new CCPA(CCPA.CCPA_CONSENT.OPT_IN_SALE);
Chartboost.addDataUseConsent(context, dataUseConsent);

Kotlin

val dataUseConsent = CCPA(CCPA.CCPA_CONSENT.OPT_IN_SALE)
Chartboost.addDataUseConsent(context, dataUseConsent)

See Chartboost's CCPA article and their Android Privacy Methods for more details and the values that can be provided in each method.

Step 5: Add required code

Modify AndroidManifest

Other elements

Add the following attribute to each activity in the AndroidManifest.xml file that will be showing Chartboost ads and supports different orientations:

android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"

Lifecycle events

Per Chartboost's recommendation, Add the following code to all of your activity's lifecycle events that will be showing Chartboost ads.

Java

import com.chartboost.sdk.Chartboost;
// ...

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    // If an interstitial is on screen, close it.
    if (Chartboost.onBackPressed()) {
        return;
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

Kotlin

import com.chartboost.sdk.Chartboost
// ...

@Override
fun onBackPressed() {
    // If an interstitial is on screen, close it.
    if (Chartboost.onBackPressed())
        return
    else
        super.onBackPressed()
}

Step 6: Test your implementation

启用测试广告

请务必为Ad Manager 注册您的测试设备，并在 Chartboost 界面中启用测试模式。

重要提示： 在发布应用前，请为 Ad Manager 和Chartboost 停用测试模式。

验证测试广告

如需验证您收到的是来自Chartboost的测试广告，请使用相应广告来源在广告检查器中启用单一广告来源测试。 Chartboost (Waterfall)

Optional steps

Permissions

For optimal performance, Chartboost recommends adding the following optional permissions to your app's AndroidManifest.xml file:

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

Error codes

If the adapter fails to receive an ad from Chartboost, you can check the underlying error from the ad response using ResponseInfo.getAdapterResponses() under the following classes:

com.google.ads.mediation.chartboost.ChartboostAdapter
com.google.ads.mediation.chartboost.ChartboostMediationAdapter

Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the Chartboost adapter when an ad fails to load:

Error code	Reason
0-99	Chartboost SDK returned an error. See Chartboost's documentation for more details.
101	The requested ad size does not match a Chartboost supported banner size.
102	Chartboost can only load 1 ad per location at a time.
103	Chartboost server parameters configured in the Ad Manager UI are missing/invalid.
104	The Chartboost interstitial or rewarded ad is not ready to be shown.
