How to use Encrypted Signals for Publishers (ESP) APIs

[gourav...@gmail.com]

Hi There,

IMA Android SDK version: 3.26.0 and 3.27.0

I have 2 questions,

1. Can you please help me to understand, to integrate this API ?

Where to pass the `EspAdapter`; I checked the doc https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/android/client-side/api/reference/com/google/ads/interactivemedia/v3/api/esp/package-summary 

 

but I could not get much Idea.

2. It's about FLUID_SIZE API. Purpose of this API is clear but for which companion Ad it will actually work.

I have an ad where height/width is there for a companion Ad; it I pass FLUID_SIZE, will it work ?

OR 

Where there is no h/w given and if I pass FLUID_SIZE, then it will work. If Yes, Can you please share such AdTag URL.

-Thanks

Hello Gourav,

 

Michael here from IMA SDK Team. Thank you for reaching out to us.

 

I believe you have to extend com.google.ads.interactivemedia.v3.api to use this feature then define the callbacks to complete its functionalities. You may try using one of our sample apps and come back to us should you encounter any issues.

 

On the other hand, with regards to fluid size, as far as I know it is the companion ad slot you have to define width and height to fluid size to allow this slots be filled with fluid companion ad in your request Tag url.

 

Let me know if you need further clarification.

Regards,

Michael Angelo IMA SDK Team

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your answer.

 > I agree, I will extend this to use the feature but eventually where to pass the adapter. This is my question.

On the other hand, with regards to fluid size, as far as I know it is the companion ad slot you have to define width and height to fluid size to allow this slots be filled with fluid companion ad in your request Tag url.

> I tried it with sample ad tag provided in IMA website but I don't see any impact of fluid size. What I think that because height and width were given like <Companion id="138381056765" width="300" height="250"> hence fluid size had no impact. Can you please check where exactly this feature work ?

Hello Gourav,

 

Thank you for responding back to us.

 

I believe the reason that you don't see any impact on the companion ad is because the Ad's size is indicated in the sample Ad Tag url, please take note that fluid companion ads have no fixed size, but rather adapt to fit the creative content they display. Set width and height to fluid size to allow companion slot to be filled by fluid companion ad.

 

On the other hand, with regards to EspAdapter, I have raised this concern to the rest of our wider team for them to provide you a more precise and concise way of implementing the said interface. Kindly wait patiently for their response.

Hello Gourav,

This is Jackson from the IMA SDK DevRel team to help with your issue.

The ESP changes should not have been included in the release notes (they have been removed now).

For guidance on fluid companions, please see this section of the companion ads guide.

Thank you,
