The apps details of the versions older than 11.x.x appear on the ConsoliAds dashboard as follows:
Once you develop on the latest version and run your build on the DEV mode, your ConsoliAds dashboard will be updated to the latest mediation features as follows:
Mandatory steps to follow
Before starting to develop on ConsoliAds Android SDK 11.x.x, please make sure to:
- Completely clean already integrated ConsoliAds: completely remove Consoliads SDK relevant files in the libs folder.
- Go through the 11.x.x complete documentation: thoroughly read the new documentation as a lot has been changed to faster implement the new level of ease
Please note that you will be able to add placeholders as per the SDK ENUMs once the dashboard is updated.
Create an App
NOTE: You can skip this step if you’ve already created your app on ConsoliAds dashboard
-
- From the left sidebar, navigate to Apps → New App
2. Simply import your Live app or manually enter the required information and proceed to ‘Finish’ to instantly create your app
- From the left sidebar, navigate to Apps → New App
Download Android SDK
- Download the latest ConsoliAds Android SDK from https://portal.consoliads.com/download/Android
- Download the desired Ad Networks SDKs from https://portal.consoliads.com/download/adnetworksdk/Android
Setting Up Project Dependencies
Integrating SDK
Once the ConsoliAds mediation SDK is downloaded:
-
- copy all ‘.aar’ files to your android project inside the “libs” folder. Please create a “libs” folder inside your Android Studio app if it does not exist.
- Open your project level “build.gradle” and write the following under allprojects → repositories section:
flatDir { dirs 'libs' }
- Open your app level “build.gradle” and write the following lines in the dependencies section to import ConsoliAds SDK:
implementation(name: 'consoliadsmediation', ext: 'aar') implementation(name: 'consoliads-mediation', ext: 'aar') implementation(name: 'consoliadsplugin', ext: 'aar') implementation(name: 'loaderlibrary', ext: 'aar') implementation(name: 'ca-nativeads', ext: 'aar')
Adding Dependencies
ConsoliAds SDK requires the following libraries as dependencies. Open your app level “build.gradle” and add following dependencies:
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement:17.6.0' implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:17.1.0' implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:17.0.0' implementation 'com.android.volley:volley:1.1.1' implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3' implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.0.0' implementation 'androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0' implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0' implementation 'androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0' implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5'
** Your project settings should be ready to support ConsoliAds in your android code to add all the ad placements for all supported ad formats **
Ready to Code
SDK Initialization
ConsoliAds SDK needs to be explicitly initialized, using the following code.
ConsoliAds.Instance().initialize(boolean isDevMode, final boolean userConsent, Activity aRef ,String userSignature);
devMode: when true, it simulates the development environment and prevents developers from changing Live app settings. Complete app development should be done with ‘Dev Mode’ ON. When an app is ready to be published, ‘Dev Mode’ MUST BE turned OFF. (NOTE: Don’t forget to see ‘More About Dev Mode’ section before making the final build)
userConsent: TRUE if user agrees to share his data and opts for personalized ads, FALSE otherwise. This flag is used for GDPR and CCPA compliance both.
aRef: reference of the current Activity
userSignature: string to identify the user according to his role and rights provided on the ConsoliAds dashboard
-
- The user signature can be obtained by going to your Personal Info by clicking on your name in the right corner of the top bar on your dashboard
- Copy the required user signature for the above initialize argument
NOTE: all initialize params cannot be modified once ConsoliAds is initialized
Show Interstitial/Video Ad
Load Interstitial Ad
Showing interstitial ad requires loading it beforehand. Use the following method to load a interstitial ad:
ConsoliAds.Instance().LoadInterstitial();
OR
ConsoliAds.Instance().LoadInterstitial(PlaceholderName placeholderName);
It is highly recommended to call LoadInterstitial() as early as possible to allow ads to be pre-loaded.
NOTE: calling LoadInterstitial multiple times does not results in multiple ad network requests
Check Interstitial/Video Ad Availability
Despite having the ad load called, interstitial ad availability should be explicitly checked. Check interstitial ad availability by using following method:
ConsoliAds.Instance().IsInterstitialAvailable();
OR
ConsoliAds.Instance().IsInterstitialAvailable(PlaceholderName placeholderNam);
PlaceholderName: enum of the placeholder (such as PlaceholderName.Default, PlaceholderName.Activity1) from the ‘Placeholders’ tab in your app details of the ConsoliAds dashboard. No placeholder value is required if you do not have your own placeholders added.
Return value (boolean):
- True if the ad is available
- False if the ad is not available
Show Interstitial Video
Now add the following lines of code to show an interstitial ad in your app:
ConsoliAds.Instance().ShowInterstitial(Activity aRef)
OR
ConsoliAds.Instance().ShowInterstitial(PlaceholderName placeholderName , Activity aRef)
Parameter details:
- PlaceholderName: enum of the placeholder (such as PlaceholderName.Default, PlaceholderName.Activity1) from the ‘Placeholders’ tab in your app details of the ConsoliAds dashboard. No placeholder value is required if you do not have your own placeholders added.
- aRef: Reference of the Activity
NOTE: the respective placeholder must have an ad network added from the ConsoliAds dashboard, else no ad will be displayed
Static Interstitial Ad
To show an Image Only interstitial ad, enable Static Interstitial option on your desired placeholder from the App Details->Placeholders & Ads section as shown below:
Note: Ad networks that support Static Interstitials will be tagged on the waterfall and will be used for ad serving accordingly.
Show Rewarded Video Ad
Load Rewarded Ad
Showing rewarded video requires loading it beforehand. Use the following method to load a rewarded ad:
ConsoliAds.Instance().LoadRewarded();
OR
ConsoliAds.Instance().LoadRewarded(PlaceholderName placeholderName);
It is highly recommended to call LoadRewarded() as early as possible to allow videos to be pre-loaded.
Availability of Rewarded Ad
Despite having the ad load called, rewarded video availability should be explicitly checked. Check rewarded video ad availability by using following method:
ConsoliAds.Instance().IsRewardedVideoAvailable();
OR
ConsoliAds.Instance().IsRewardedVideoAvailable(PlaceholderName);
PlaceholderName: enum of the placeholder (such as PlaceholderName.Default, PlaceholderName.MainMenu) from the ‘Placeholders’ tab in your app details of the ConsoliAds dashboard. No placeholder value is required if you do not have your own placeholders added.
Return value (boolean):
- True if the ad is available
- False if the ad is not available
Show Rewarded Video
ConsoliAds.Instance().ShowRewardedVideo(Activity aRef);
OR
ConsoliAds.Instance().ShowRewardedVideo(PlaceholderName placeholderName, Activity aRef);
Parameter details:
- PlaceholderName: enum of the placeholder (such as PlaceholderName.Default, PlaceholderName.Activity1) from the ‘Placeholders’ tab in your app details of the ConsoliAds dashboard. No placeholder value is required if you do not have your own placeholders added.
- aRef: Reference of the active Activity
NOTE: the respective placeholder must have an ad network added from the ConsoliAds dashboard, else no ad will be displayed
Reward Users
In order to reward your user, a callback needs to be implemented with your lines of code to incentivize the user. ConsoliAds mediation SDK implements a single callback irregardless of any ad network used.
Implement the interface ConsoliAdsRewardedListener to provide the following definition of the method to reward your users:
public void onRewardedVideoAdCompletedEvent(PlaceholderName placeholderName) { // Write your code to reward your user here }
Show Banner Ad
To show banner ad you need to first add the following view to your required activity xml:
<com.consoliads.mediation.bannerads.CAMediatedBannerView android:id="@+id/consoli_banner_view" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_margin="8dp" />
Get the banner view as follows:
CAMediatedBannerView mediatedBannerView = findViewById(R.id.consoli_banner_view);
Now use the following code to display the banner:
ConsoliAds.Instance().ShowBanner(Activity aRef, CAMediatedBannerView mediatedBannerView);
OR
ConsoliAds.Instance().ShowBanner(PlaceholderName placeholderName , Activity aRef, CAMediatedBannerView mediatedBannerView);
Parameter details:
- PlaceholderName: enum of the placeholder (such as PlaceholderName.Default, PlaceholderName.Activity1) from the ‘Placeholders’ tab in your app details of the ConsoliAds dashboard. No placeholder value is required if you do not have your own placeholders added.
- aRef: Reference of the active Activity
NOTE: ConsoliAds SDK supports only one banner per activity.
Show Custom Banner
Admob users can show custom banner by setting property of the mediated view before ShowBanner call:
mediatedBannerView.setCustomBanner(int width , int height);
OR
ConsoliAds.Instance().ShowBanner(PlaceholderName placeholderName , Activity aRef, CAMediatedBannerView mediatedBannerView);
Hide Banner Ad
To hide banner, use the following:
if(mediatedBannerView != null) { mediatedBannerView.destroyBanner(); }
Add Banner Listener
To receive callbacks for banner ad type, add banner listener on the mediated view as follows:
cAMediatedBannerView.setBannerListener(ConsoliAdsBannerListener consoliAdsBannerListener);
Show Native Ad
Add the following NativeView in your xml where you want to show the native ad:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

- PULSE
Hide All Ads
You can hide all ads, except Rewarded Ads, from your entire app, by using the following:
ConsoliAds.Instance.hideAllAds();
NOTE: You only need to call this method once in your script to hide all ads from your app
Using More Apps URL and Support Email
- The more apps URL and support email are added against a particular brand
- When an app of the respective brand is configured, the more apps URL and support email are available for use
- To access more apps URL, use:
ConsoliAds.Instance.MoreFunURL()
- To access support email, use:
ConsoliAds.Instance.SupportEmail()
More About Dev Mode
- Please note that the ‘Dev Mode’ has its own following settings to modify your app under development before impacting the LIVE app:
- Test Mode
- Hide All Ads
- Ad Showing Mechanism
- If you make your build with ‘Dev Mode’ enabled, the ad configurations from ‘Dev. Placeholder and Ads‘ tab on the dashboard would be used.
- If you make your build with ‘Dev Mode’ disabled, the ad configurations from ‘Live Placeholder and Ads‘ tab on the dashboard would be used.
- After adding or editing Ad IDs for Admob, Chartboost or Facebook. It is necessary to click the “Apply to Live” button to be applied on Live placeholders and ads
Applying Dev Settings to Live
In order to see the ‘Dev Mode’ settings on ConsoliAds dashboard, open the ‘Placeholder & Ads (DEV)‘ tab in the details of your specific app as shown below:
Click ‘Apply to Live’ to apply these configurations to your live app.
NOTE: if the configurations are mistakenly applied to LIVE, you can undo by modifying the DEV configurations and applying again.
App Settings on ConsoliAds Dashboard
After successfully integrating your app with ConsoliAds SDK, following app settings can be explored on the ConsoliAds dashboard in the App Details section:
Test Mode
By Default a new application is in Test Mode. In Test Mode only test ads are shown. Test Mode can ONLY be disabled by importing your app’s Live credentials in the Details tab.
Ad Network IDs
If you are using Admob, Facebook Audience Network or Chartboost you need to provide their Ad IDs on the dashboard in your app Ad Networks section.
All other integrated ad networks will automatically go Live once your app’s Test Mode is disabled.
Ad Filters
Apply all ad filters, for the integrated ad networks, with complete ease from the ConsoliAds dashboard in the Ad Filters section of the app details.
Debug Logs
If enabled, debug logs will be shown for your app in respective editors for Android and iOS.
Child Directed
Child Directed enables your application with complete COPPA compliance.
Hide Ads
All ads, except Rewarded Videos, can be completely turned OFF using Hide Ads on the dashboard.
Auto Mediation
Auto Mediation automatically optimizes your ad networks for each region and each ad format pertaining to every placeholder in your app such that you get the best eCPMs.
We highly recommend to use Auto Mediation in order to witness instant revenue increments upto 20%
