Integrate Vpon with mediation

  • This guide helps publishers integrate Vpon ads into their Android apps using Google Mobile Ads mediation.

  • It outlines the process of setting up the Vpon adapter and configuring necessary settings.

  • Publishers need an existing Android app with the Google Mobile Ads SDK and an AdMob account with ad units for mediation.

  • The guide includes instructions on adding the Vpon SDK and adapter, configuring the AndroidManifest.xml, and initializing ad objects.

  • It's crucial to use an Activity instance when initializing ad objects for optimal compatibility with mediated ad networks.

This guide is intended for publishers who are interested in using Google Mobile Ads mediation with Vpon. It walks through the setup of a mediation adapter to work with your current Android app and the configuration of additional settings.

Add Vpon to your project

Include network adapter and SDK

Download the Vpon SDK and adapter from the previous links.

In Android Studio, include the adapter and SDK files in your project's libs folder. Make sure that your app-level Gradle file includes the following:

Kotlin 

dependencies {
    implementation(fileTree(mapOf("dir" to "libs", "include" to listOf("*.aar", "*.jar"))))
    // ...
}

Groovy 

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.aar', '*.jar'])
    // ...
}

Configure the AndroidManifest.xml file

Modify your AndroidManifest.xml file as instructed in the Vpon documentation.

Your app doesn't need to call Vpon directly—Google Mobile Ads SDK calls the Vpon adapter to fetch ads on your behalf. If necessary, you can specify any additional request parameters. The rest of this page details how to provide more information to Vpon.

Initialize your ad object with an Activity instance

In the constructor for a new ad object (for example, AdView), you must pass in an object of type Context. This Context is passed on to other ad networks when using mediation. Some ad networks require a more restrictive Context that is of type Activity and may not be able to serve ads without an Activity instance. Therefore, we recommend passing in an Activity instance when initializing ad objects to ensure a consistent experience with your mediated ad networks.
