file, add the following
repositories:
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
maven {
url = uri("https://imobile.github.io/adnw-sdk-android")
}
}
}
Then, in your app-level build.gradle.kts
file, add the following
implementation dependencies and configurations. Use the latest versions of the
i-mobile SDK and adapter:
dependencies {
implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:23.3.0")
implementation("com.google.ads.mediation:imobile:2.3.2.0")
}

folder and add it to your project.Navigate to the i-mobile adapter artifacts on Google's Maven Repository. Select the latest version, download the i-mobile adapter's
.aar
file, and add it to your project.
Step 4: Add required code
No additional code is required for i-mobile integration.
Step 5: Test your implementation

Optional steps
Using native ads
Ad rendering
The i-mobile adapter populates the following
fields
for a
NativeAd
.
Field | Assets always included by i-mobile adapter |
---|---|
Headline | |
Image | |
Body | |
App icon | 1 |
Call to action | |
Star rating | |
Store | |

1 For native ads, the i-mobile SDK does not provide an app icon asset. Instead, the i-mobile adapter populates the app icon with a transparent image.
Error codes
If the adapter fails to receive an ad from i-mobile,
publishers can check the underlying error from the ad response using
ResponseInfo.getAdapterResponses()
under the following classes:
Format | Class name |
---|---|
Banner | com.google.ads.mediation.imobile.IMobileAdapter |
Interstitial | com.google.ads.mediation.imobile.IMobileAdapter |
Native | com.google.ads.mediation.imobile.IMobileMediationAdapter |
Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the i-mobile adapter when an ad fails to load:
Error code | Reason |
---|---|
0-99 | i-mobile SDK returned an error. See code for more details. |
101 | i-mobile requires an Activity context to load ads. |
102 | i-mobile server parameters configured in the Ad Manager UI are missing/invalid. |
