Rewarded Video Integration for Android

Get up and running with the Rewarded Video Ad Unit in 5 easy steps:

1. Implement the Rewarded Video Listener
2. Initialize the Rewarded Video Unit
3. Show a Video Ad to Your Users
4. Reward the User
5. Verify Your Integration

Step 1. Implement the Rewarded Video Listener

The ironSource SDK fires several events to inform you of ad availability. By implementing the RewardedVideoListener you will receive the RewardedVideo events. Pass this object within the setRewardedVideoListener(…) method.

The SDK will notify your Listener of all possible events listed below:

//Import the Rewarded Video Listener
import com.supersonic.mediationsdk.sdk.RewardedVideoListener;
RewardedVideoListener mRewardedVideoListener = new RewardedVideoListener()
{
  //Invoked when initialization of RewardedVideo has finished successfully.
  @Override
  public void onRewardedVideoInitSuccess() {
  }
  //Invoked when RewardedVideo initialization process has failed. 
  //SupersonicError contains the reason for the failure. 
  @Override
  public void onRewardedVideoInitFail(SupersonicError se) {
 
   //Retrieve details from a SupersonicError object.
    int errorCode =  se.getErrorCode();
    String errorMessage = se.getErrorMessage();
    if (errorCode == SupersonicError.ERROR_CODE_GENERIC){
       //Write a Handler for specific error's.
    }
  }
  
  //Invoked when RewardedVideo call to show a rewarded video has failed
  //SupersonicError contains the reason for the failure. 
  @Override
	public void onRewardedVideoShowFail(SupersonicError se) {
	}
  //Invoked when the RewardedVideo ad view has opened.
  //Your Activity will lose focus. Please avoid performing heavy 
  //tasks till the video ad will be closed.
  @Override
  public void onRewardedVideoAdOpened() {
  }  
  //Invoked when the RewardedVideo ad view is about to be closed.
  //Your activity will now regain its focus.
  @Override
  public void onRewardedVideoAdClosed() {
  }
  //Invoked when there is a change in the ad availability status.
  //@param - available - value will change to true when rewarded videos are available. 
  //You can then show the video by calling showRewardedVideo().
  //Value will change to false when no videos are available.
  @Override
  public void onVideoAvailabilityChanged(boolean available) {
    //Change the in-app 'Traffic Driver' state according to availability.
  }
  //Invoked when the video ad starts playing.
  @Override
  public void onVideoStart() {
  }
  //Invoked when the video ad finishes playing.
  @Override
  public void onVideoEnd() {
  }
  //Invoked when the user completed the video and should be rewarded. 
  //If using server-to-server callbacks you may ignore this events and wait for 
  //the callback from the Supersonic server.
  //@param - placement - the Placement the user completed a video from.
  @Override
  public void onRewardedVideoAdRewarded(Placement placement) {
  //TODO - here you can reward the user according to the given amount.
  String rewardName = placement.getRewardName();
  int rewardAmount = placement.getRewardAmount();
  }
};

Step 2. Initialize the Rewarded Video Unit

Once you’ve initialized the Rewarded Video Unit, ironSource will automatically check all available Ad Networks for videos throughout the life-cycle of the app. You should initialize Rewarded Video as early as possible to allow time for all Ad Networks to prepare Video content. We recommend doing so on app launch.

public class YourActivity extends Activity
{
  //Declare the Supersonic Mediation Agent
  private Supersonic mMediationAgent;
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
  {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    //Get the mediation publisher instance 
    mMediationAgent = SupersonicFactory.getInstance();
    //Set the Rewarded Video Listener
    mMediationAgent.setRewardedVideoListener(mRewardedVideoListener);
    //Set the unique id of your end user.
    String mUserId = "APPLICATION_USER_ID_HERE"; 
    //Set the Application Key - can be retrieved from Supersonic platform
    String mAppKey = "APPLICATION_APP_KEY_HERE";
    //Init Rewarded Video
    mMediationAgent.initRewardedVideo(this, mAppKey, mUserId);
  }
}

Step 3. Show a Video Ad to Your Users

By correctly implementing the RewardedVideoListener and its functions, you can receive the availability status through the onVideoAvailabilityChanged callback.

public void onVideoAvailabilityChanged(boolean available)

Alternatively, ask for ad availability directly by calling:

boolean available = mMediationAgent.isRewardedVideoAvailable();

Once an Ad Network has an available video you are ready to show this video ad to your users.This is the ideal moment to insert a trigger to encourage your users to watch the video ad.

With the ironSource Ad Placements tool, you can customize and optimize the Rewarded Video experience. This tool enables you to present videos to your users from different placements depending on the reward. You can use the below function to define the exact Placement you’d like to show an ad from. Navigate to the Ad Placement document for more details.

By calling the showRewardedVideo() method on your MediationAgent instance, you can show a Video Ad to your users and define the exact Placement you want to show an ad. The Reward settings of this Placement will be pulled from the ironSource server:

mMediationAgent.showRewardedVideo(placementName);

To get details about the specific Reward associated with each Ad Placement, you can call the following:

Placement placement = mMediationAgent.getRewardedVideoPlacementInfo(placement);
//Placement can return null if the placementName is not valid.
if(placement != null)
{
    String rewardName = placement.getRewardName();
    int rewardAmount = placement.getRewardAmount();
}

In addition to ironSource‘s Ad Placements, you can now configure capping and pacing settings for selected placements. Capping and pacing improves the user experience in your app by limiting the amount of ads served within a defined timeframe. Read more about capping and pacing here.

boolean isRewardedVideoPlacementCapped(String placementName);

New! Dynamic UserID to Verify AdRewarded Transactions
The Dynamic UserID is a parameter that can be changed throughout the session and will be received in the server-to-server ad rewarded callbacks. This parameter helps verify AdRewarded transactions and must be set before calling ShowRewardedVideo.

boolean setDynamicUserId(String dynamicUserID);

Step 4. Reward the User

The ironSource SDK will fire the onRewardedVideoAdRewarded event each time the user successfully completes a video. The RewardedVideoListener will be in place to receive this event so you can reward the user successfully.

The Placement object contains both the Reward Name & Reward Amount of the Placement as defined in your ironSource Admin:

public void onRewardedVideoAdRewarded(Placement placement)
{
    //TODO - here you can reward the user according to the given amount
    String rewardName = placement.getRewardName();
    int rewardAmount = placement.getRewardAmount();
}

Done!
You are now all set to deliver Rewarded Video in your application.
