How add startapp ads on android aplication?

What is startapp?

startapp is an advertising network for mobile apps, just like admob, and this time I will blend you how to install startapp ad in your android app.

1. Visit startapp or click here
2. Register
3. verify email
4. crat app
5. get id app
6. Download SDK

Setup install

Step 1, Adding the SDK to Your Project

The simplest way to integrate our SDK into your project is by using Gradle's Dependency Management. Add the following repositories and dependencies to your app-level build.gradle file:

repositories {
    jcenter()
}
 
dependencies {
    compile 'com.startapp:inapp-sdk:3.7.1'
}

If you are not using Gradle, you can download the SDK zip file and add the StartAppInApp-x.x.x.jar file to the “libs” directory of your project (you can find the latest version in our portal).

Step 2, Updating Your AndroidManifest.xml File
Add the following permissions under the main <manifest> element:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />

The last four permissions are optional, but highly recommended for better performance StartApp SDK doesn't request location updates proactively but only uses the last known location.

Add the following activities under the <application> element:

<activity android:name="com.startapp.android.publish.ads.list3d.List3DActivity"
          android:theme="@android:style/Theme" />

<activity android:name="com.startapp.android.publish.adsCommon.activities.OverlayActivity"
          android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent"
          android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize" />

<activity android:name="com.startapp.android.publish.adsCommon.activities.FullScreenActivity"
          android:theme="@android:style/Theme"
          android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize" />

Step 3, Initialization
In your main activity, go to the OnCreate method and before calling setContentView() call the static function:

StartAppSDK.init(this, "Your App ID", true);

Replace "Your App ID" with your own value provided in the developers’ portal.
To find your application ID, click on the "Apps and Sites" tab on the left pane and choose the relevant ID from your app list:

The last true parameter enables "Return Ads". If you want to disable this feature, simply pass false instead.

Please notice - if you initialize the SDK in a service, you must do it on the service's main thread.

Step 4, Obfuscation (Mandatory for Proguard users)

Obfuscation protects an application from reverse-engineering or modification by making it harder for a third-party to access your source (decompiled) code.

StartApp In-Ad is already obfuscated! Therefore, if you did not obfuscate your application using ProGuard™, then you can skip this step. If you have obfuscated your application using ProGuard, then use the following in the ProGuard configuration file:

-keep class com.startapp.** {
      *;
}

-keepattributes Exceptions, InnerClasses, Signature, Deprecated, SourceFile,
LineNumberTable, *Annotation*, EnclosingMethod
-dontwarn android.webkit.JavascriptInterface
-dontwarn com.startapp.**

Splash Ad (recommended)

A Splash Ad is a full-page ad that is displayed immediately after the application is launched. A Splash Ad first displays a full page splash screen that you define (as described below) followed by a full page ad.

The Splash Ad is enabled by default. If you want to disable it simply call StartAppAd.disableSplash() after calling StartAppSDK.init.

By default, your application will be using a pre-defined splash screen designed by StartApp. If you want to customize this screen or if you already have your own splash screen and want to use it, please refer to the Advanced Usage.

Return Ad

The Return Ad is a new ad unit which is displayed once the user returns to your application after a certain period of time. To minimize the intrusiveness, short time periods are ignored.

Return ads are enabled and activated by default. If you want to disable this feature, simply pass "false" as the 3th parameter of the StartAppSDK.init method:

StartAppSDK.init(this, "Your App ID", false);

Interstitial Ads

Interstitial Ads are full page ads, displayed before or after a certain content page or action, such as upon entering a stage, between stages, while waiting for an action, upon exiting the application and more. There are three ways of integrating Interstitial Ads:

Exit Ads - show an ad upon exiting your application

Standard Interstitial Ads - show an ad at a specific location(s) in your application

Autostitial Ads - show an ad automatically between activities

Exit Ads

To show an ad upon exiting your application when pressing the 'Back' button, override the onBackPressed() method and add the method StartAppAd.onBackPressed(this) BEFORE the method super.onBackPressed() (this is the activity/application context):

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
	StartAppAd.onBackPressed(this);
	super.onBackPressed();
}

Standard Interstitials

Use this method to show an Interstitial Ad at a specific location inside your app.

Call StartAppAd.showAd(this) in the appropriate place(s) in the activity where you would like to show the Ad. The showAd method returns true in case the ad was displayed successfully, or false if not (for example, if an ad isn't ready yet).

The following is an example of showing an Interstitial Ad between Activities:

public void btnOpenActivity (View view){
    Intent nextActivity = new Intent(this, NextActivity.class);
    startActivity(nextActivity);
    StartAppAd.showAd(this);
}

Please notice - If you want to use Autostitial Ads and yet to show an Interstitial in a specific location, call StartAppAd.disbleAutoInterstitial(); before calling StartAppAd.showAd, otherwise two ads might be displayed together. Remember to call StartAppAd.enableAutoInterstitial(); afterthat to reanable Autostitial

IMPORTANT: Loading an ad might take a few seconds. In case you call showAd() while the ad hasn't been successfully loaded yet, nothing will be displayed. If you want to show an ad when your application is launched, use our "Splash Ad". You can also implement your interstitial ad as an object and use the "onReceiveAd" callback which is triggered when an ad was loaded and ready to use. See "Interstitial Ads" under the "Advanced Usage" section.

Autostitials
"Autostitial" stands for "Auto Interstitial"; use this integration to show an Interstitial Ad each time an activity is changed.
Simply call StartAppAd.enableAutoInterstitial(); after calling StartAppSDK.init.
You can gain more control over the frequency of Autostitial Ads using two methods: time frequency and activity frequency.

time frequency

You can set a minimum time interval between consecutive Autostitial Ads.

For example, set a 1 minute interval between two consecutive ads (time in seconds):

StartAppAd.setAutoInterstitialPreferences(
                  new AutoInterstitialPreferences()
                  .setSecondsBetweenAds(60)                  
           );

Time frequency and activity frequency can be used together.

Banners
Add the following View inside your Activity layout XML:

<com.startapp.android.publish.ads.banner.Banner 
          android:id="@+id/startAppBanner"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>

NOTE: This code places a View inside your Activity. You also have the option to add additional attributes for placing it in the desired location in your Activity.

Native Ads

A "Native Ad" is a raw representation of an ad without any pre-defined wrapping UI, which gives you the freedom to design and control the ad exactly as you want. Using Native Ads, you can design an ad experience that perfectly fits your application's scene, content and functionality.

For a full integration guide, please refer to the "Using Native Ads" section under the "Advanced Usage" page.
