[OUTDATED][Free] Admob Extension - Add different types of AdMob ads in your application

Make sure you have used the correct ad ids and app id. If you are coming from the TheCodingBus youtube video on AdMob, then he has done some mistake there, he has used AdUnit instead of AppId while creating an extension.

How to create an application Id & Ad Unit Id ?
  • Click on Apps on SideBar and then click on Add Your First App .

  • Set Platform to Android and check if your app is listed on supported app store or not.

  • If your app is already published to listed stores then search for your app, submit and continue.


    If you have checked no then add an app name then click on AddApp & click on Done.

  • Now, Click on Add Ad Unit.

  • Now, Select an ad format, in this case I am selecting Banner,

  • Add an ad unit name, and click on Create ad unit.

  • Now, your ad unit is created sucessfully. You will find appId & adUnit id. Copy these id somewhere in notepad and save this. You can use the app id while creating your extension for manifest requirement for the application. And you can use ad unit id in the respective format extension.

Where do I find my app id and AdMob ad unit id ?

I've found most user are confused on AdMob app id & ad unit id. AppId and ad unit id are different. You should use your app id when you are building your own extension from Niotron IDE & you should use ad unit id in your respective ad extensions for banner, interstitial and all.

Copied from Google AdMob Support, Find more.

Find an app ID

  1. Sign in to your AdMob account at https://apps.admob.com.
  2. Click Apps in the sidebar.
  3. Click View all apps.
  4. Click the Copy icon in the App ID column to copy the ID of an app

Find an ad unit ID

  1. Sign in to your AdMob account at https://apps.admob.com.
  2. Click Apps in the sidebar.
  3. Click the name of the app associated with the ad unit. Note: If you don't see it in the list of recent apps, click View all apps. Then, click the name of the app.
  4. Click Ad units in the sidebar.
  5. Click the Copy icon in the Ad unit ID column to copy the ID of an ad unit.

hello, i'm aditama from id :indonesia:
I want to ask, does admob sdk need to be installed on all screens with ads or just screen 1?

No need. If you already have dragged and dropped the SDK extension on Screen1 then you are good to go.

Also, you don't need to initialize the SDK on another screen if you have already initialized it on Screen1.

Added Facebook Audience Network In Mediation

Documentation on first post is updated too.


To integrate Facebook Audience Network, You should follow these steps.

Step 1 : Set up Facebook Audience Network

  • Sign up and Log in to the Business Manager Start page.

  • Click Create a new Business Manager account and fill out the required fields with your business details.

  • Once you've filled out the required information, you'll be prompted to create a property for your app. Enter the desired name of the property for your app and click. Then Go to Monetization Manager .

  • Next, select Android as the platform to monetize.

  • Indicate whether or not your app is live and click Submit . Then, You will be prompted to create an ad placement for your application. Select a format, fill out the form and click Next .

  • Now, Note your System user access token and placement id

  • Note the property id of your product
    If you look at the link on monetization manager then it looks like that

https://business.facebook.com/pub/property/?business_id=1285496463872947&property_id=631234567890471&ref=devsite_app_onboarded

Note property id after &property_id= to &ref= . For this link above, 631234567890471 is my property id. Note the property id.

Step 2 : Create a new Mediation Group

  • First, You should create an application on AdMob and create all placements you have made on Monetization Manager. Please check FAQs at end of documentation if you don't know how to create application id and ad unit id.

  • Now tap on Mediation >> Mediation Groups and click on Create Mediation Group

  • Enter the ad format, for example if you have created 2 placements, one banner and one interstitial in Montization manager, we will create for banner first then interstitial.

  • Give your mediation group a name, and select locations to target. Next, set the mediation group status to Enabled. Then click Add Ad Units, which will open up the ad unit selection overlay.

  • Choose that App and AdUnit that we will use to integrate facebook ads on.

  • Then on Biddings, Click on Add ad source, Select facebook audience network and add placement id that we created on Step1. Then click Done.

  • Then on Waterfall, Click on Add ad source, Select Facebook Audience Network, then add manual cpm for example 1$ , Continue and add placement id, system access token and property id that we have noted on Step 1.

Step 3 : Drag and Drop FacebookBidding Extension

  • You should download FacebookBidding extension, and just drag and drop that extension to Screen. This extension doesn't contain any methods. You must use AdMob Sdk extension and that extension we created on Niotron IDE to put app id on manifest. And if you want to show facebook banner ad, you can download banner ad extension from above. You should use ad unit id of that AdmobApp we mediate our facebook on.

Anyone of you can tell what to do when ad is clicked? When ad will be clicked what will be happened?
If someone click the ad then the website which is in the ad should be opened in external browser? How to do it?

It will redirect to the advertiser website / content.

You don't need to redirect to content manually. AdClicked event can be useful if you want to show something or refresh ads after Ad is clicked.

Ohhh thank you so much. I was woried that i didn't set the on click or on open ad function. Again thanks.

Let me ask you another question that if someone click on ad the where that advertised website will open? In the app? or outside the app? and what if I want that the ad when clicked the advertised website will open externally?

It will show content within your app.

I don't think there is any way to open content in external browser.

OK, but in my case when I click the ad the content is opening in an external browser. Anyways thank You so much.

It's perfectly working. Now I have the last question the admob App ID extensionn is created and imported in the project but nothing is done with that. How admob will recognize the app id?

The only purpose of AppId Extension which user has to create is to add your AdMob app id to your app's AndroidManifest.xml file.
When you drag and drop the extension to the screen and compile the application, it will add following in your AndroidManifest.xml file of your app.

<manifest>
    <application>
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
            android:value="ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~yyyyyyyyyy"/>
<!-- There will be your app id in android:value on format above -->
    </application>
</manifest>

Also, If you have already drag and dropped this extension on your first screen, you don't need to drag and drop the extension on other screens.

Hello
I hope to help me solve this problem
Test ad is showing properly in my device but there is no real ads in other devices
I have uploaded the app on galaxy store


Thanx for your attention

@oseamiya

Your app is ready to server ads. You have 12 request of ads if you see in Ads activity performance which means your app has requested 12 times to show an ad. Most of time, request depends upon userbase of the app and number of time ad is refreshed. So, it may show ad after your app get some more downloads if you have integrated properly. You can send me application or aia in private message to check if you have integrated extension properly or not.

I'm used to blocks from advantage.co as an attachment; I am seeing that this adcolony page and I see that you have shared those captures to formalize the publicity, I see that you have published the aix connector... what I would be missing is knowing the assembly of blocks, the question is that the assembly of the type block is useful to me chance to configure can I use the same?


Why is this error happening?

Why is this error happening?

I think it is enhance.co .

I have no idea what aix connector is. I've never used enhance.co extension in my life.


To integrate AdColony ads, first go through Get Started from the documentation & then download the extension of respective AdFormat which you wanted to use. And at last, follow the documentation from Mediation >> AdColony . If you have any confusion, you can ask here.
