Android Mediation Adapters

BlueStack's mediation feature enables you to deliver advertisements to your app from various sources, including BlueStack itself and third-party ad networks. This section provides guidance on integrating mediation partner SDKs through BlueStack's third-party SDK adapters.

Google (GAM / AdMob)

To include the BlueStack GAM / AdMob mediation adapter dependency,

• Add your Google App ID to your app's AndroidManifest.xml file

<manifest>
  <application>
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
        android:value="ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~yyyyyyyyyy"/>
  </application>
</manifest>

• And add the Gradle dependency below to your app-level build.gradle file

For bluestack-sdk-react-native >= 1.2.0

build.gradle

dependencies {
  ...
  implementation 'com.azerion:bluestack-mediation-google:+'
  ...
}

For bluestack-sdk-react-native < 1.2.0

build.gradle

dependencies {
  ...
  implementation 'com.azerion:bluestack-mediation-gma:+'
  ...  
}

In-App Bidding

To include the BlueStack In-App Bidding mediation adapter, add the Maven repository address and Gradle dependency below to your app-level build.gradle file

repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://packagecloud.io/smartadserver/android/maven2' }
}

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.azerion:bluestack-mediation-bidding:+'
    ...
}

info

In-App Bidding has a default dependency with Amazon and Smart Display SDK. So adding In-App Bidding will automatically include these two SDKs.

Equativ (previously Smart Ad Server)

To include the BlueStack Equativ / Smart Ad Server mediation adapter, add the Maven repository address and Gradle dependency below to your app-level build.gradle file

repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://packagecloud.io/smartadserver/android/maven2' }
}

For bluestack-sdk-react-native >= 1.2.0

build.gradle

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.azerion:bluestack-mediation-equativ:+'
    ...
}

For bluestack-sdk-react-native < 1.2.0

build.gradle

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.azerion:bluestack-mediation-smartadserver:+'
    ...
}
