AdMob Mediation Adapters using Request settings?

[Michiel van den Anker]

Hi AdMob team and other AdMob users,

I am having a great time using the mediation platform you have
provided.

I was just wondering, do specific settings that are made to a Request
(e.g. Gender, Birthday) generally propagate into the various Adapters
for other ad networks (e.g. Mmedia, InMobi)?

Hopefully it is as simple as setting the options for just the Request.

Hello Michiel,

AdMob does pass this information on to the various network adapters, but it is up to the adapter's implementation to use it.

If you want to pass additional information (such as income to Millennial) that is not directly supported by AdMob, you'll have to create a MillennialAdapterExtras object, set the relevant information, and call AdRequest.setNetworkExtras() and pass in the MillennialAdapterExtras.  Note that you'll have to create an extras object for each network you want to send custom targeting parameters to.  AdMob Mediation will then pass the correct extras object to the chosen adapter to extract this information to use when the making its ad request.

Cheers,

Eric

I'm sorry, this was clearly in the docs here:
https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/android/mediation/

To summarize: settings on AdRequest objects do propagate to Adapters.
Settings that AdRequest does not cover can be set using an
AdapterExtras instance like MillennialAdapterExtras for instance.
