Introduction
This guide explains how to integrate Criteo Direct Bidding for App solution to your Android app as a Standalone Ads SDK.
Prerequisites
Standalone SDK - SDK Initialization
Initialize Criteo SDK in your Application class by using Criteo.Builder() method. This needs to be done only once. Criteo.Builder() method takes 2 parameters:
Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
application | | Application Object |
criteoPublisherId | | Your Criteo Publisher ID. |
Use adUnits() method on the builder and pass List<AdUnit> object to initialize all ad units that Criteo will monetize.
Banner - Displaying Banner
Add CriteoBannerView into your XML layout, with the following attributes:
Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| | Your Criteo banner Ad Unit ID |
| | Banner height |
| | Banner width |
<com.criteo.publisher.CriteoBannerViewandroid:id="@+id/criteoBannerView"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"app:criteoAdUnitId="samplebanneradunitid"app:criteoAdUnitWidth="320"app:criteoAdUnitHeight="50" />
Then, call loadAd() in your code to display Criteo banner.
Banner - Displaying Banner Continued
Alternatively, create a CriteoBannerView object programatically, call loadAd() method, and add it as a subview in your layout.
Banner - Destroying Banner View
Make sure to destroy CriteoBannerView object when your Activity is destroyed.
Banner - Setting Ad Listener
You can optionally add an Ad Listener to your CriteoBannerView object in order to handle callbacks when banner view has loaded, failed to load, or there's a click resulting in the user leaving the application, by calling setCriteoBannerAdListener() with a CriteoBannerAdListener object as parameter, before loading the ad.
Interstitial - Loading Interstitial Ads
You can request for Interstitial Ad by creating a CriteoInterstitial object for your Interstitial Ad Unit, and call loadAd(). This will prefetch an Interstitial Ad that you can display later in your app.
Interstitial - Displaying Interstitial Ads
Display previously-loaded Interstitial ad by calling show() method. Make sure to always check whether the Interstitial ad has been loaded using isAdLoaded() before presenting Criteo Interstitial ad to the user.
Interstitial - Setting Ad Listener
You can optionally add an Ad Listener to your CriteoInterstitial object in order to handle callbacks when Interstitial view has loaded, failed to load, opened, closed or there's a click resulting in the user leaving the application, by calling setCriteoInterstitialAdListener() with a CriteoInterstitialAdListener object as parameter, before loading the ad.
