An AdMob account and an ad unit configured with mediation line items.
Helpful primers
The following Help Center articles provide background information on mediation:
Add Tencent YLH to your project
Include network adapter and SDK
Download the Tencent YLH SDK and adapter from the links above.
In Android Studio, include the JAR files in your project's libs
folder. Make sure that your build.gradle file includes the following:
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
Configure the AndroidManifest.xml file
Modify your AndroidManifest.xml file as instructed in the Tencent YLH
documentation.
Your app doesn't need to call Tencent YLH directly—the Google Mobile Ads SDK calls the Tencent YLH adapter to fetch ads on your behalf. If you don't wish to specify any additional request parameters, then you're done! The rest of this page details how to provide more information to Tencent YLH.
Initialize your ad object with an Activity instance
In the constructor for a new ad object (for example,
AdView),
you must pass in an object of type
Context.
This Context is passed on to other ad networks when using mediation. Some
ad networks require a more restrictive Context that is of type
Activity
and may not be able to serve ads without an Activity instance. Therefore,
we recommend passing in an Activity instance when initializing ad objects
to ensure a consistent experience with your mediated ad networks.
