This guide shows you how to use the Google Mobile Ads SDK to load and display ads from maio using AdMob Mediation, covering waterfall integrations. It covers how to add maio to an ad unit's mediation configuration, and how to integrate the maio SDK and adapter into an Android app.
The dashboard interface for maio uses Japanese text for its labels, buttons, and descriptions, and the screenshots in this guide have not been translated. In this guide's descriptions and instructions however, labels and buttons are referenced with their English language equivalents. "URL スキーム," for example, is "URL Scheme".

Step 3: Import the maio SDK and adapter
Android Studio integration (recommended)
In your project-level settings.gradle.kts
file, add the following
repositories:
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
maven {
url = uri("https://imobile-maio.github.io/maven")
}
}
}
Then, in your app-level build.gradle.kts
file, add the following
implementation dependencies and configurations. Use the latest versions of the
maio SDK and adapter:
dependencies {
implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:23.4.0")
implementation("com.google.ads.mediation:maio:1.1.16.3")
}
Manual integration
- Download the latest version of maio Android SDK and add it to your project.
- Navigate to the maio adapter artifacts on Google's Maven Repository. Select the latest version, download the maio adapter's `.aar' file, and add it to your project.
Step 4: Add required code
No additional code is required for maio Android integration.
Step 5: Test your implementation
Enable test ads
Make sure you register your test device for AdMob.
Publishers using version 11.6.0 or higher of the Google Mobile Ads SDK will automatically receive test ads from maio on phones and tablets registered as test devices when making requests.
Verify test ads
To verify that you are receiving test ads from maio, enable single ad source testing in ad inspector using the maio (Waterfall) ad source(s).
Error codes
If the adapter fails to receive an ad from maio,
publishers can check the underlying error from the ad response using
ResponseInfo.getAdapterResponses()
under the following classes:
Format | Class name |
---|---|
Interstitial | jp.maio.sdk.android.mediation.admob.adapter.Interstitial |
Rewarded | jp.maio.sdk.android.mediation.admob.adapter.Rewarded |
Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the maio adapter when an ad fails to load:
Error code | Reason |
---|---|
0-10 | maio returned an SDK-specific error. See code and maio's documentation for more details. |
101 | Maio does not have an ad available. |
102 | Invalid server parameters (e.g. missing Placement ID). |
103 | Context used to load an ad was not an `Activity` instance. |
