Vungle Adapter

[Chia-han Yang]

I am trying to use Vungle-Admob adapter but I am not sure whether it is working or not. I followed the instruction at https://support.vungle.com/hc/en-us/articles/204222794-Get-started-with-Vungle-Android-SDK, but how do I use the adapter actually and how do I test it?

I tried to addVungleAdapter like the following:

AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
        .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
        .addTestDevice("3156********") // my device id
        .addNetworkExtrasBundle(VungleAdapter.class,bundle)
        .build();

Is that all I need to do? Even though it just keep showing the AdMob's static interstitial ads.

I also tried to use VunglePub (like in https://support.vungle.com/hc/en-us/articles/204222794-Get-started-with-Vungle-Android-SDK). It works fine, but does it link with AdMob at all? I was hoping to get mediation going across multiple different ads network through AdMob.

Can anyone help me with this?

Hi Yang,

I understand that you are trying to enable Mediation through Vungle in your Android application. I would suggest you the following - 

• First go through our guidelines on how to setup AdMob Mediation in your account. You need to click on Monetize -> Select Mediation for your Ad Unit ID -> New Ad Network -> Select Vungle.
• Once you have done that, make sure that you enter your Application ID and the API key that you have generated from Vungle. Adding this network would mean that you have enabled Vungle as network source for your ads.
• Next in your application, download the Vungle network adaptor for Android. You can also also find the link in this article. 
• Finally you need to add the Vungle SDK as well. The guideline for this can be found here as you have pointed out.

I have noticed that you have added a test device. Please note that in case of Mediation ads, only live ads will be served and you not be able to notice any ads if you have enabled test mode. I would suggest you to remove it. You can also find out the source of your served ads through getMediationAdapterClassName(). 

Also note that adding Vungle would not disable ads to be served from Google Mobile Ads but would become one more network added to your Ad Sources. Do let us know if you need anything else.

Thanks,
