AdMob (Android)

This topic provides step-by-step instructions for integrating and monetizing the InMobi SDK with AdMob.

You have access to the following ad types from InMobi via AdMob mediation:

• Banner
• Interstitial (Static Interstitial and Full-screen Video Ads)
• Rewarded Interstitial
• Native

Before you begin setting up InMobi as an ad source on AdMob dashboard, it’s important that you create an InMobi account, register your app, configure placements and complete the payment information. You can learn more about it here.

If you have completed the above steps, then you are all good to begin setting up InMobi as an ad source on AdMob. Let’s begin!

Configure InMobi as an Ad Source

Logon to your AdMob account and navigate to the specific ad-unit that you want to monetize via the InMobi SDK. Under mediation, navigate to “ad-sources” (if you have integrated solely with AdMob, the number of ad sources will be one).

1. Select new ad network and add InMobi as ad source

   

2. In the Network Settings page for InMobi, insert your InMobi account ID and placement ID.

   

3. Follow the instructions in Step 1: Set up configurations in InMobi UI.

Adding the SDK and Adapter

Follow the instructions in Step 3: Import the InMobi SDK and adapter.

Test the Integration

To ensure AdMob SDK relays the ad request to InMobi for testing, you can do the following.

1. Set manual Ad network optimization for every network including AdMob. Uncheck the “Ad network optimization” checkbox.
2. Set manual eCPM floors for all networks keeping the eCPM floor for InMobi higher than other networks, this will ensure that the ad request gets relayed to InMobi for testing. In the example below, InMobi floor is set to $5 and AdMob is set to $0.01.

   

After performing the abovementioned steps, you can test and relay the requests to InMobi SDK for ad loads.

Enabling Key SDK Logs

You can enable key SDK logs by adding the following line to your Activity where you are integrating the ad units.

InMobiSdk.setLogLevel(LogLevel.DEBUG);

InMobiSdk.setLogLevel(LogLevel.DEBUG)

You can also leverage feedback available on the diagnostics tab on the ad unit and ad request if you have enabled “Test Mode” on the InMobi portal.
