Prerequisites
Do Get Started all the way until finishing step 3
Initialize the SDK
We require the SDK to be initialized only once as early as possible so for this purpose using Android’s application is recommended but if your app only has one activity, if using the activity make sure it is never destroyed unless killing the app or placing it in the background, matching then the lifecycle of Application, you can initialize it in onCreate method of that Activity.
Let’s see the recommended method.
Create an Application class and add it to the manifest code to start the app with the Application class.
class Application: Application()
{
override fun onCreate()
{
super.onCreate()
R89SDK.setDebug() //This is for testing purposes, remove it on prod
R89SDK.setLogLevel(LogLevels.DEBUG) //This is for testing purposes, remove it on prod
R89SDK.initialize(
appContext = this,
publisherId = "TestRefinery89ID", /* This is for testing purposes, change it on prod */
appId = "TestDemoApp", /* This is for testing purposes, change it on prod */
singleLine = false,
initializationEvents = null
)
}
}
Then add this application class to the manifest you already had from the Get Started.
The code for adding the application is the following
Remember that the ".Application" depends on the name of the class. If we named the class MyApplication we would need to put “.MyApplication"
<manifest>
<application
android:name=".Application">
</application>
</manifest>
With this addition you full manifest should look like so:
This is a simplified example, you should have many more lines in the manifest, copy the important bits only.
<manifest>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID"/>
<application
android:name=".Application"
>
<!-- This is the Sample App ID-->
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
android:value="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713"/>
</application>
</manifest>
How does it works?
We fetch all ad units configurations from our Database and you simply need to place the ad units using the RefineryAdFactory and the r89ConfigurationIDs we provide you. Incorporate them into the desired views.
Check Ad Formats to see how each format is implemented.
