Get Started with the ironSource Xamarin Plugin for Android

Step 1. Add the ironSource Plugin to Your Project

Download the Xamarin plugin, and add it to your app as follows:

Step 2. Update AndroidManifest.xml

Add the following to your AndroidManifest.xml:

Manifest Permissions

<uses-permission android:name=“android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE” />
<uses-permission android:name=“android.permission.INTERNET” />

Manifest Activities

<activity android:name=“com.ironsource.sdk.controller.ControllerActivity” android:configChanges=“orientation|screenSize” android:hardwareAccelerated=“true” />
<activity android:name=“com.ironsource.sdk.controller.InterstitialActivity” android:configChanges=“orientation|screenSize” android:hardwareAccelerated=“true” android:theme=“@android:style/Theme.Translucent” />
<activity android:name=“com.ironsource.sdk.controller.OpenUrlActivity” android:configChanges=“orientation|screenSize” android:hardwareAccelerated=“true” android:theme=“@android:style/Theme.Translucent” />

Step 3. Import the ironSource Files

Import the references to your activity:

using Com.Ironsource.Mediationsdk;
using Com.Ironsource.Mediationsdk.Sdk;
using Com.Ironsource.Mediationsdk.Model;
using Com.Ironsource.Mediationsdk.Logger;
using Com.Ironsource.Mediationsdk.Config;
using Com.Ironsource.Mediationsdk.Utils;

Then, call the following method to set the plugin data:

ConfigFile.GetConfigFile().SetPluginData(“Xamarin”, IronSourceUtils.SDKVersion, YOUR_XAMARIN_FRAMEWORK_VERSION);

Step 4. Override Your Activity Lifecycle Methods

Application Lifecycle
Override the onPause(), onResume() methods in each of your activities to call the corresponding ironSource methods as follows:

protected override void OnPause()
{
   base.OnPause();
   IronSource.OnPause(this);
}
protected override void OnResume()
{
   base.OnResume();
   IronSource.OnResume(this);
}

Step 5. Initialize the Plugin

Init the Plugin and Rewarded Video:

IronSource.Init(this, YOUR_APP_KEY, IronSource.AD_UNIT.RewardedVideo);

IronSource.ShouldTrackNetworkState(this, true);

Init Complete Callback           

The ironSource SDK fires callback to inform you that the ironSource SDK was initialized successfully, for ironSource SDK 7.2.1+ . This listener will provide you an indication that the initialization process was completed, and you can start loading ads. The callback will be sent once per session, and will indicate the first initialization of the SDK.

Important implement IInitializationListener in order to use the following code:

IronSource.Init(this, appKey, this, adUnitsToInit.ToArray());
public void OnInitializationComplete()
        {
        }

Step 6. Verify Your Integration

The ironSource SDK provides an easy way to verify that your SDK and ad unit integration was completed successfully.

• Import this reference to be able to call the integration helper method

  using Com.Ironsource.Mediationsdk.Integration;

• Then call this method to verify your integration:

  IntegrationHelper.ValidateIntegration(this);

Done! You just integrated the ironSource Plugin in your app.
You are now ready to start working with Unity LevelPlay’s Ad Units.
