Library (Updated to v4.6.1 , 29 May 2016)
MoPub Official Website
Google Play Policies
MoPub is the world largest mobile ad server (mediation platform) and RTB exchange (MoPub marketplace). Now it belongs to Twitter. It is the main competitor to AdMob , but MoPub primary focus is mediation of ads. The following ad networks work just right out of the box:

All networks are tested and use official java code of these networks.
AdColony can use only interstitial or rewarded video, if you will use both in your project - it will not work.
Tapjoy - please test, integration is rather complicated, so for now I didn't test it myself, but normally it should work.
Native ads are not supported for now.
Note: I advise you to use logcat logs in B4A (without filter checked) or this standalone utility to see all error codes and a lot of additional info about loading your ads.

Please vote for ad network you want to see in MoPub Library

Hi Jalle
Sorry for delay
1. Hope they will help you with country , they pay normally by paypal.
2. All networks (AppBrain and others) that are not listed in their ad networks , you can add by choosing Custom Native Network (networks supported by library) and Custom Networks (networks that give you javascript code such as Leadbolt for example).
3.MoPub banner ID you get when you make new application with new ad , for example banner 320x50. There is no AppBrain ID , all your applications you must add in AppBrain console.

It seems maybe complicated but this is for the first time. Please download help guide for more info.

John

Hi John

I have just received the Leadbolt Mopub SDK Adaptor.
Is it possible to use this together with your library?

Kind regards

Hi John

Thanks to a comprehensive response.
Yet I still struggle with setting Mopuba in my app.

Here is the code :

B4X:
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)

......

    ads.InitializeMopub_Banner("banner","1f4fa25e691643c49aad47e41ae8544b")
  ads.PreloadMopub_Interstitial("interstitial","1f4fa25e691643c49aad47e41ae8544b")
    ads.RemoveView
    Activity.AddView (ads,0,100%y-50dip,320dip,50dip)
    ads.LoadMopub_Banner
    ads.ShowMopub_Interstitial
End Sub

and error I am receiving in my logcat.: "Banner Failed"

The thing is, I've created an Ad Unit on Mopub but I did not choose any Ad network to show in that banner.
How do I do this please ?

Edit: and the manifest file looks like this

Hi Jalle
You can pass "" empty string to test banner load and how it works.
Banner failed can be if there is no ad for your country , you must add more
ad networks in "NETWORKS" tab or add your own ad in "ORDERS" tab.
What concerns your ad , it seems that something is wrong to get an ad.
I highly recommend to read MoPub startup guide.

John

Hi John

Any chance of an update, to the newest SDK?
I heard from a friend, that his income increased a lot, with the new SDK

Kind regards

HI,

Really have no luck with this Mopub :-/
I was able to show interstitial one but after that they disappeared

B4X:
'ads.InitializeMopub_Banner("banner","168bbeb272fd4e9cbd860773741cd8ee")
    ads.InitializeMopub_Banner("","")
  ads.PreloadMopub_Interstitial("interstitial","1f4fa25e691643c49aad47e41ae8544b")
    ads.RemoveView
  'Activity.AddView (ads,0,100%y-50dip,320dip,50dip)
    'ads.LoadMopub_Banner

End Sub

'Interstitials Listener methodes
Sub interstitial_mopub_interstitial_loaded
    LogColor("Interstitial Loaded",Colors.Blue)
    ads.ShowMopub_Interstitial
End Sub

Thus, I need only interstitials
Attached are my Mopub & Admob settings for this app.

There in mopub are Humanitarni: BAnner ad and Fullscreen Ad.
For publisher ID I took Mediation ID fro mAdmob
as that is what I have been told by Mopub support.
ANW if I try to set publisher ID from admob then its the same error:

Banner failed
and no error at all for Interestrials.


HEEEEELP :D


Edit: here is the email conv from Moppub but there either I dont know what he is talking about
Mopub support:
"Couple of items to consider. Wondering the credentials you are using from AdMob cause you should be using your AdMob's 'Ad Unit ID' and not the 'Legacy Publisher ID.' I know it may be confusing as within MoPub's dashboard it mentions to have the 'Publisher ID' but really it should be the 'Ad Unit ID' from AdMob that should be entered."

Hi John,

Thank you for this library. There are a couple things that I would suggest. You don't need to include the android-support-v4 or Google Admob sdk in the XML. Admob is natively supported within mopub, so the SDK is not needed for admob at all.

For others like me who don't want all the extra SDK's, you can simply remove the dependsOn settings for everything but mopub-sdk.

Best regards,
Jack

Hi Jhon, I've one question:

Why when I initialize and add view, the memory consuption grow at least 100%?
For example, when I not use MoPub library, my application only use 8 mb, but when I try to use de library my application use 25mb of memory?

thanks in advance.

Hi Jack
Yes Admob is supported natively but it needs SDK and from august 1 , 2014 admob sdk is not supported for new applications and updated. Instead of Admob SDK there is Google Play Services SDK.
https://github.com/mopub/mopub-android-sdk/wiki/Integrating-Third-Party-Ad-Networks

Soon I will update to MoPub SDK 2.2 and make a guide , because it seems a bit complicated for now.

John
