• This page provides instructions on viewing and verifying adapters linked to your ad sources within Ad Manager.

• To begin, ensure you have completed the prerequisites including setting up your test device and initializing the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

• You can view a list of all adapters by launching Ad inspector and clicking on "Adapters".

• Custom event adapters can also be viewed, which are used for ad sources not directly supported by Ad Manager.

• If you encounter an "Issue found" warning for custom events using deprecated interfaces, consider replacing the interface with an adapter class.

This page covers steps on viewing and verifying adapters associated with your ad sources.

Prerequisites

Before you continue, do the following:

• Complete all items in the initial Prerequisites to create an Ad Manager account, set your test device, initialize Google Mobile Ads SDK, and install the latest version.
• Launch ad inspector.

You can view a list of all adapters associated with the ad sources configured in your app. To view the list, complete the following steps:

1. In the Ad inspector page, click Adapters.

2. Expand the cards to view initialization statuses and adapter and third-party SDK versions.

   

If the adapter isn't found or fails to initialize, see Ad inspector (Beta).

View custom event adapters

You can also view custom event adapters. Custom events lets you set up waterfall mediation for an ad source that Ad Manager doesn't support. In the adapter list, Custom events are distinct by unique class names. In addition to providing the class name, ad inspector also displays labels assigned to those custom events in the Ad Manager UI. For more details on custom events, see Setup.

Earlier implementations of custom events, such as prior to the Google Mobile Ads SDK version 9.0.0, can use deprecated subclasses that don't support initialization and return Issue found within ad inspector. If you see the Issue found warning, and your custom event integration works as expected, check if your app is using a deprecated interface and replace the interface with an adapter class. For details, see GADMediationAdapter.
