Requirements

  • Android API level 21 or higher

Step 1: Set up configurations in Chartboost UI

Inscreva-se em uma conta do Chartboost e faça login depois que sua conta for verificada. Acesse a guia Gerenciamento de apps.

Painel de apps do Chartboost

Clique no botão Add new app para criar o app.

Gerenciamento de apps

Preencha o restante do formulário e clique no botão Adicionar app para finalizar o app.

Formulário do novo app

Depois que seu aplicativo for criado, você será direcionado para o painel dele. Anote o ID e a Assinatura do app.

Configurações do app

OAd Manager requer o ID do usuário e a assinatura do usuário do Chartboost para configurar o Ad Manager ID do bloco de anúncios. Para encontrar esses parâmetros, clique em Mediação do Chartboost na interface do Chartboost.

Painel de mediação do Chartboost

Navegue até a guia Recursos > API Explorer e anote o ID do usuário e a Assinatura do usuário localizados na seção Autenticação.

Explorador da API Chartboost

Ativar modo de teste

Para ativar o modo de teste no app, acesse a guia Gerenciamento de apps na interface do Chartboost, selecione o app na lista e clique em Edit app settings.

Editar configurações do app

Nas configurações do app, é possível ativar ou desativar o Modo de teste.

Modo de teste do Chartboost

Quando o modo de teste está ativado, é possível solicitar anúncios usando o ID do bloco de anúncios criado anteriormente e receber um anúncio de teste do Chartboost.

Depois que você puder receber anúncios de teste do Chartboost, seu aplicativo será colocado na Publisher App Review do Chartboost. Para que a monetização no Chartboost funcione, a análise do app do editor precisa ser aprovada pelo Chartboost.

Step 2: Set up Chartboost demand in Ad Manager UI

Definir as configurações de mediação para seu bloco de anúncios

Faça login na sua conta do Ad Manager.

Acesse Exibição > Grupos de rendimento e clique no botão Novo grupo de rendimento.

Insira um Nome exclusivo para o grupo de rendimento, defina o Status como Ativo, selecione o Formato do anúncio e o Tipo de inventário como App para dispositivos móveis. Na seção Segmentação > Inventário, selecione o bloco de anúncios em Inventário e Aplicativo para dispositivos móveis ao qual você quer adicionar a mediação.

Em seguida, clique no botão Adicionar parceiro de rendimento.

Se você já tiver um Parceiro de rendimento para Chartboost, selecione-o. Caso contrário, selecione Criar um novo parceiro de rendimento.

Selecione Chartboost como a Rede de publicidade, insira um Nome exclusivo e ative a Mediação.

Ative a Coleta de dados automática e insira o User ID and User Signature recebido na seção anterior.

Depois de selecionar o Parceiro de rendimento, escolha Mediação do SDK para dispositivos móveis como o Tipo de integração, Android como Plataforma e Ativo como o Status. Insira o App ID, App Signature and Ad Location obtido na seção anterior. Em seguida, insira um valor de CPM padrão.

Os locais de anúncios do Chartboost (locais nomeados) são nomes simples que representam um lugar no seu app onde você quer mostrar um anúncio. OAd Manager envia solicitações para o local especificado nas configurações. Depois que as solicitações são enviadas, o Chartboost adiciona o local à IU para fins de relatório.

Na interface do Chartboost, os locais dos anúncios podem ser revelados na página Configurações básicas clicando em Configurações avançadas. Consulte o guia Locais nomeados do Chartboost para mais detalhes.

Clique em Salvar na parte inferior da página quando terminar.

Add Chartboost to GDPR and US state regulations ad partners list

Siga as etapas em Configurações do GDPR e Configurações das regulamentações estaduais dos EUA para adicionar Chartboost à lista de parceiros de anúncios do GDPR e das regulamentações estaduais dos EUA na Ad Manager IU.

Step 3: Import the Chartboost SDK and adapter

In your project-level settings.gradle.kts file, add the following repositories:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
  repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
      url = uri("https://cboost.jfrog.io/artifactory/chartboost-ads/")
    }
  }
}

Then, in your app-level build.gradle.kts file, add the following implementation dependencies and configurations. Use the latest versions of the Chartboost SDK and adapter:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:23.3.0")
    implementation("com.google.ads.mediation:chartboost:9.7.0.0")
}

Manual integration

  1. Download the .aar file of the latest version of the Chartboost SDK from Maven Central, and add it to your project.

  2. Navigate to the Chartboost adapter artifacts on Google's Maven Repository. Select the latest version, download the Chartboost adapter's .aar file, and add it to your project.

Step 4: Implement privacy settings on Chartboost SDK

Under the Google EU User Consent Policy, you must ensure that certain disclosures are given to, and consents obtained from, users in the European Economic Area (EEA) regarding the use of device identifiers and personal data. This policy reflects the requirements of the EU ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When seeking consent, you must identify each ad network in your mediation chain that may collect, receive, or use personal data and provide information about each network's use. Google currently is unable to pass the user's consent choice to such networks automatically.

In SDK version 8.1.0, Chartboost added the addDataUseConsent() method. The following sample code sets data use consent to NON_BEHAVIORAL. If you choose to call this method, it is recommended that you do so prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

Java

DataUseConsent dataUseConsent = new GDPR(GDPR.GDPR_CONSENT.NON_BEHAVIORAL);
Chartboost.addDataUseConsent(context, dataUseConsent);

Kotlin

val dataUseConsent = GDPR(GDPR.GDPR_CONSENT.NON_BEHAVIORAL)
Chartboost.addDataUseConsent(context, dataUseConsent)

See Chartboost's GDPR article and their Android Privacy Methods for more details and the values that can be provided in each method.

US states privacy laws

U.S. states privacy laws require giving users the right to opt out of the "sale" of their "personal information" (as the law defines those terms), with the opt-out offered via a prominent "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on the "selling" party's homepage. The U.S. states privacy laws compliance guide offers the ability to enable restricted data processing for Google ad serving, but Google is unable to apply this setting to each ad network in your mediation chain. Therefore, you must identify each ad network in your mediation chain that may participate in the sale of personal information and follow guidance from each of those networks to ensure compliance.

In SDK version 8.1.0, Chartboost added the addDataUseConsent() method. The following sample code sets data use consent to OPT_IN_SALE. If you choose to call this method, it is recommended that you do so prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

Java

DataUseConsent dataUseConsent = new CCPA(CCPA.CCPA_CONSENT.OPT_IN_SALE);
Chartboost.addDataUseConsent(context, dataUseConsent);

Kotlin

val dataUseConsent = CCPA(CCPA.CCPA_CONSENT.OPT_IN_SALE)
Chartboost.addDataUseConsent(context, dataUseConsent)

See Chartboost's CCPA article and their Android Privacy Methods for more details and the values that can be provided in each method.

Step 5: Add required code

Modify AndroidManifest

Other elements

Add the following attribute to each activity in the AndroidManifest.xml file that will be showing Chartboost ads and supports different orientations:

android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"

Lifecycle events

Per Chartboost's recommendation, Add the following code to all of your activity's lifecycle events that will be showing Chartboost ads.

Java

import com.chartboost.sdk.Chartboost;
// ...

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    // If an interstitial is on screen, close it.
    if (Chartboost.onBackPressed()) {
        return;
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

Kotlin

import com.chartboost.sdk.Chartboost
// ...

@Override
fun onBackPressed() {
    // If an interstitial is on screen, close it.
    if (Chartboost.onBackPressed())
        return
    else
        super.onBackPressed()
}

Step 6: Test your implementation

Ativar anúncios de teste

Registre seu dispositivo de teste em Ad Manager e ative o modo de teste na Chartboost interface.

Verificar anúncios de teste

Para verificar se você está recebendo anúncios de teste do Chartboost, ative os testes de uma única origem no Ad Inspector usando as Chartboost (Waterfall) origens de anúncios.

Optional steps

Permissions

For optimal performance, Chartboost recommends adding the following optional permissions to your app's AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

Error codes

If the adapter fails to receive an ad from Chartboost, you can check the underlying error from the ad response using ResponseInfo.getAdapterResponses() under the following classes:

com.google.ads.mediation.chartboost.ChartboostAdapter
com.google.ads.mediation.chartboost.ChartboostMediationAdapter

Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the Chartboost adapter when an ad fails to load:

Error code Reason
0-99 Chartboost SDK returned an error. See Chartboost's documentation for more details.
101 The requested ad size does not match a Chartboost supported banner size.
102 Chartboost can only load 1 ad per location at a time.
103 Chartboost server parameters configured in the Ad Manager UI are missing/invalid.
104 The Chartboost interstitial or rewarded ad is not ready to be shown.
