Integrate maio with mediation

Select platform: Android (beta) Android iOS Unity Flutter

This guide shows you how to use GMA Next-Gen 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".

Supported integrations and ad formats

The mediation adapter for maio has the following capabilities:

Requirements

• Android API level 24 or higher

• maio SDK 1.0.7 or higher

Step 1: Set up configurations in maio UI

First, sign up or log in to your maio account. Click the Application management button on the left sidebar and click on New app.

Select the tab corresponding to your preferred Ad Type.

In the Application Management page, make a note of the Media ID. It's needed to set up your AdMob ad unit in the next section.

Step 2: Set up maio demand in AdMob UI

Configure mediation settings for your ad unit

You need to add maio to the mediation configuration for your ad unit.

First, sign in to your AdMob account. Next, navigate to the Mediation tab. If you have an existing mediation group you'd like to modify, click the name of that mediation group to edit it, and skip ahead to Add maio as an ad source.

To create a new mediation group, select Create Mediation Group.

Enter your ad format and platform, then click Continue.

Give your mediation group a name, and select locations to target. Next, set the mediation group status to Enabled, and then click Add Ad Units.

Associate this mediation group with one or more of your existing AdMob ad units. Then click Done.

You should now see the ad units card populated with the ad units you selected:

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")
    }
  }
}

In your app-level gradle file, add the following implementation dependencies and configurations:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.google.android.libraries.ads.mobile.sdk:ads-mobile-sdk:0.24.0-beta02")
    implementation("com.google.ads.mediation:maio:2.0.8.0")
}

configurations.configureEach {
    exclude(group = "com.google.android.gms", module = "play-services-ads")
    exclude(group = "com.google.android.gms", module = "play-services-ads-lite")
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.ads.mobile.sdk:ads-mobile-sdk:0.24.0-beta02'
    implementation 'com.google.ads.mediation:maio:2.0.8.0'
}

configurations.configureEach {
    exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-ads'
    exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-ads-lite'
}

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 GMA Next-Gen 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.getAdSourceResponses() under the following classes:

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