AdMob Mediation in Android

We all know about Admob Ads very well. Here, I would like to explain what mediation features and how it will be useful for developers. Let’s take a simple one example for ADs integration if we have to integrate Native ads of Admob, Facebook, InMobi or any other provider so what we can do, we can integrate specific ADs network provider SDK and use that ADs in projects. So this will increase the affords in integration and also increase the build size of mobile application or web application. Mediation feature provides one kind of bridging to connect with all the network providers and it will serve all network ADs in Admob Network ADs. It’s really interesting features to manage all the ADs linking in one SDK. It helps to increase your monetization by sending ad requests to multiple networks to ensure you find the best available network to serve ads.

Which type Ads support in Mediation integration?

It’s provides four types of Ads:

• Banner
• Interstitial
• Rewarded
• Native

Before integrating the Ads in your application, you have to integrate anyone ads from the above list into your application.

Getting started with Mediation Ads integration

To start the integrate Ads, you have to add the Ads library in your app gradle.

After adding the dependencies, you have to add application id in manifest.xml. For this application id you have to create an admob account and setup an application in Admob.

Initialize the MobileAds using initialize method which is initialize the SDK and complete call back listener.

Here, we are integrating Native Ads so you have to add below codes in your activity after initializing the sdk. For Ads load you have to use loadAd method which will show Ads in your app screen.

So, above steps to integrate Admob ads. Now we can add code of mediation here. We can explain to you how we can link Facebook network ads with our admob account. First you have to set up Ads on Facebook and then after you have to link with an Admob account. Please follow this link to create facebook and link:

Once it’s linked then after in our code side you have to add facebook ads link in our app gradle.

No many changes required in our existing code, you have to add a network extra bundle in current AdRequest. That’s All.

Same way you are able to link any network provider with Admob network so you can get more ads and of course earning as well. Let’s use these amazing mediation features and show more interesting ads from any network provider.
