Please use the official AdMob adapter instead for better performance, official support, and seamless integration with AdMob.

The adapter supports custom waterfall integration for the next ad formats:

  • Banner
  • Interstitial
  • Rewarded
  • Native

Integration​

info

Min Android SDK version - 23 (6.0, Marshmallow)

build.gradle
repositories {
    maven {
        url "https://artifactory.bidmachine.io/bidmachine"
    }
}

In your build.gradle file add the following dependency which includes the BidMachine adapter for use within AdMob platform:

build.gradle
dependencies {
    // Add BidMachine SDK dependency
    implementation "io.bidmachine:ads:3.6.1"
    // Add BidMachine SDK AdMob Adapter dependency
    implementation "io.bidmachine:ads.adapters.admob:3.6.1.50"
    // Add AdMob SDK dependency
    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:25.2.0"
}

Initialization​

Waterfall integration does not require BidMachineSdk initialization code, as it is triggered automatically as part of the MobileAds initialization.

MobileAds.initialize(context) {
    // Optionally, enable test mode and logging
    BidMachine.setTestMode(true)
    BidMachine.setLoggingEnabled(true)
}

Logging and Test Mode​

warning

All parameters for BidMachine SDK must be set before starting AdMob SDK.

BidMachine.setTestMode(true)
BidMachine.setLoggingEnabled(true)
warning

Don't forget to remove setTestMode() before releasing to production!
