Native

Native ad is a flexible type of advertising. You can adapt the display to your UI by preparing a template.

You can use our demo app  as a reference project.

Cache

To cache native ads, use: 

Appodeal.cache(this, Appodeal.NATIVE);
To cache multiple native ads, use: 
Appodeal.cache(this, Appodeal.NATIVE, 3);

The number of cached ads is not guaranteed and could be less than requested.

Check If Ad Is Loaded

Appodeal.isLoaded(Appodeal.NATIVE);

Get Loaded Native Ads

To get loaded native ads, use the following method: 

List<NativeAd> nativeAds = Appodeal.getNativeAds(int amount);

Once you get the ads, they are removed from our SDK cache.

Callbacks

Appodeal.setNativeCallbacks(new NativeCallbacks() {
  @Override
  public void onNativeLoaded() {
    // Called when native ads are loaded
  }
  @Override
  public void onNativeFailedToLoad() {
    // Called when native ads are failed to load
  }
  @Override
  public void onNativeShown(NativeAd nativeAd) {
    // Called when native ad is shown
  }
  @Override
  public void onNativeShowFailed(NativeAd nativeAd) {
    // Called when native ad show failed
  }
  @Override
  public void onNativeClicked(NativeAd nativeAd) {
    // Called when native ads is clicked
  }
  @Override
  public void onNativeExpired() {
    // Called when native ads is expired
  }
});

All callbacks are called on the main thread.

Cache Manually

To disable automatic caching for native ads, use the code below before the SDK initialization: 

Appodeal.setAutoCache(Appodeal.NATIVE, false);
To cache native ads, use: 
Appodeal.cache(this, Appodeal.NATIVE);
Read more on manual caching in our FAQ.

Get Available Native Ads Count

Appodeal.getAvailableNativeAdsCount();

Common Mistakes

  • No ad attribution or AdChoices icon

The majority of ad networks require publishers to add a special mark to a native ad, so users don’t mistake them for content. That’s why you always need to make sure, that native ads in your app have the ad attribution (e.g., “Ad”) or the AdChoices icon.

  • Absence of the required native ad elements

Every native ad should contain:

    • title;
    • call-to-action button;
    • ad attribution or AdChoices icon;

    • icon, image or video.

  • Native ad elements alteration

Advertisers expect that their ads will be displayed clearly and without any alteration. You can scale buttons and images, but you shouldn't crop, cover or distort them.

  • Overlaying elements of native ads on each other

Make sure, that all elements of a native ad are visible and not overlaid.

Native ads requirements:

  • All of the fields of native ad marked as mandatory must be displayed.
  • Every ad should have a sign that clearly indicates that it is an ad. For example "Ad" or "Sponsored".
  • Image assets can be resized to fit your ad space but should not be significantly distorted or cropped.

NativeAd Object

After getting loaded native ads using Appodeal.getNativeAds(), a list of NativeAd objects is returned.

Name of methodsTypeMandatoryDescription
nativeAd.getTitle()StringMandatoryTitle of the native ad. Maximum 25 symbols of the title should always be displayed. You can add ellipsis at the end if the title is longer.
nativeAd.getCallToAction()StringMandatoryCall-to-action text. Should be displayed without truncation on a visible button.
nativeAd.getDescription()StringOptionalText description of the native ad. If you choose to display the description, you should display maximum 100 characters. You can add ellipsis at the end.
nativeAd.getRating()FloatOptionalRating of the app in [0-5] range
nativeAd.getAgeRestrictions()StringOptionalApp age restriction. May return null.
nativeAd.getAdProvider()StringOptionalGets provider name of native ad.
nativeAd.getProviderView(Context context)ViewMandatoryIf it doesn’t return null, it’s mandatory to display the provider icon in any corner of the native ad. Used by some networks to display AdChoices or the privacy icon.
nativeAd.containsVideo()BooleanOptionalReturns true, if NativeAd object contains the video.
nativeAd.canShow(String placementName)BooleanOptionalCheck if native ad can be shown with the placement.
nativeAd.isPrecache()BooleanOptionalCheck if a native ad is precache.
nativeAd.getPredictedEcpm()DoubleOptionalReturns the predicted ecpm for creative.
nativeAd.destroy()VoidMandatoryDestroys the native ad, unregisters from tracking.

Configuration

Native Ads Assets Caching

Set required native media assets for what necessary for the show. Default value is ALL.

  • Appodeal.setRequiredNativeMediaAssetType(Native.MediaAssetType.ALL) - assets caching for NativeIconView and NativeMediaView;
  • Appodeal.setRequiredNativeMediaAssetType(Native.MediaAssetType.ICON) - assets caching only for NativeIconView;
  • Appodeal.setRequiredNativeMediaAssetType(Native.MediaAssetType.IMAGE) - assets caching only for NativeMediaView.

Native Video

To show video native ads, add NativeMediaView to native ad layout. 

NativeAdView adView = findViewById(R.id.native_layout)
NativeMediaView nativeMediaView = adView.findViewById(R.id.appodeal_media_view_content);
if (nativeAd.containsVideo()) {
    nativeAdView.setNativeMediaView(nativeMediaView);
} else {
   nativeMediaView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}

Native Video Settings

To control whether you want to show video native ads, use the following methods:

  • Appodeal.setNativeAdType(Native.NativeAdType.Auto) - both static image and video native ads will be loaded;
  • Appodeal.setNativeAdType(Native.NativeAdType.NoVideo) - only static image native ads will be loaded;
  • Appodeal.setNativeAdType(Native.NativeAdType.Video) - only video native ads will be loaded.

Templates

Appodeal SDK provides 3 types of templates for native ads:

  • NativeAdViewNewsFeed;
  • NativeAdViewAppWall;
  • NativeAdViewContentStream.

If you want to use one of these templates, you can add the selected template in the layout: 

<com.appodeal.ads.native_ad.views.NativeAdViewNewsFeed
	android:id="@+id/native_ad_view_news_feed"
	android:layout_width="match_parent"
	android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	android:layout_marginBottom="10dp">
</com.appodeal.ads.native_ad.views.NativeAdViewNewsFeed>

<com.appodeal.ads.native_ad.views.NativeAdViewAppWall
	android:id="@+id/native_ad_view_app_wall"
	android:layout_width="wrap_content"
	android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	android:layout_marginBottom="10dp">
</com.appodeal.ads.native_ad.views.NativeAdViewAppWall>

<com.appodeal.ads.native_ad.views.NativeAdViewContentStream
	android:id="@+id/native_ad_view_content_stream"
	android:layout_width="match_parent"
	android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	android:layout_marginBottom="10dp">
</com.appodeal.ads.native_ad.views.NativeAdViewContentStream>
And when you need to show the ad: 
NativeAdViewNewsFeed nav_nf = mActivity.findViewById(R.id.native_ad_view_news_feed);
nav_nf.setNativeAd(mNativeAd);

NativeAdViewAppWall nav_aw = mActivity.findViewById(R.id.native_ad_view_app_wall);
nav_aw.setNativeAd(mNativeAd);

NativeAdViewContentStream nav_cs = mActivity.findViewById(R.id.native_ad_view_content_stream);
nav_cs.setNativeAd(mNativeAd);
You can also create a view programmatically and add it to the screen: 
RelativeLayout holder = mActivity.findViewById(R.id.native_template_holder);
NativeAdViewAppWall nativeAdView = new NativeAdViewAppWall(mActivity, mNativeAd);
holder.addView(nativeAdView);

Template Elements

TextView title = getTitleView();
TextView description = getDescriptionView();
View rating = getRatingView();
RatingBar ratingBar = getRatingBar();
View providerView = getProviderView();
TextView callToAction = getCallToActionView();
NativeIconView iconView = getNativeIconView();
NativeMediaView mediaView = getNativeMediaView();
By default, native ads are labeled «Ad». You can replace it with «Sponsored» for the native templates: 
nav.showSponsored(true);
To change the color of the call-to-action button in the native templates, use: 
nav.setCallToActionColor(int color);
nav.setCallToActionColor(String color);

Сustom Layout

NativeAdView nativeAdView = (NativeAdView) findViewById(R.id.native_layout)

TextView tvTitle = (TextView) nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.tv_title);
tvTitle.setText(nativeAd.getTitle());
nativeAdView.setTitleView(tvTitle);

TextView tvDescription = (TextView) nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.tv_description);
tvDescription.setText(nativeAd.getDescription());
nativeAdView.setDescriptionView(tvDescription);

RatingBar ratingBar = nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.rb_rating);
if (nativeAd.getRating() == 0) {
	ratingBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
} else {
	ratingBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
	ratingBar.setRating(nativeAd.getRating());
	ratingBar.setStepSize(0.1f);
}
nativeAdView.setRatingView(ratingBar);

Button ctaButton = nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.b_cta);
ctaButton.setText(nativeAd.getCallToAction());
nativeAdView.setCallToActionView(ctaButton);

View providerView = nativeAd.getProviderView(context);
if (providerView != null) {
	if (providerView.getParent() != null && providerView.getParent() instanceof ViewGroup) {
		((ViewGroup) providerView.getParent()).removeView(providerView);
	}
	FrameLayout providerViewContainer = nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.provider_view);
	ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
	providerViewContainer.addView(providerView, layoutParams);
}
nativeAdView.setProviderView(providerView);

TextView tvAgeRestrictions = nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.tv_age_restriction);
if (nativeAd.getAgeRestrictions() != null) {
	tvAgeRestrictions.setText(nativeAd.getAgeRestrictions());
	tvAgeRestrictions.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
} else {
	tvAgeRestrictions.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}

NativeIconView nativeIconView = nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.icon);
nativeAdView.setNativeIconView(nativeIconView);

NativeMediaView nativeMediaView = nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.appodeal_media_view_content);
nativeAdView.setNativeMediaView(nativeMediaView);

nativeAdView.registerView(nativeAd);
To show NativeAd in custom layout you should use NativeAdView, populate and register the asset views.

Bind assets view to NativeAdView: 

nativeAdView.setTitleView(View view)
nativeAdView.setCallToActionView(View view)
nativeAdView.setRatingView(View view)
nativeAdView.setDescriptionView(View view)
nativeAdView.setProviderView(View view)
nativeAdView.setNativeIconView(NativeIconView nativeIconView)
nativeAdView.setNativeMediaView(NativeMediaView nativeMediaView)
And register NativeAd object in NativeAdView: 
nativeAdView.registerView(NativeAd nativeAd);
// or nativeAdView.registerView(NativeAd nativeAd, String placementName); if you use placements
If another NativeAd was registered to this instance of view, it will be automatically unregistered.

To unregister NativeAd from NativeAdView, call: 

nativeAdView.unregisterViewForInteraction();
If NativeAdView is reused to display the same ad or to display other ads, it's better to call the unregisterViewForInteraction() method before you can register the same view with another instance of NativeAd.

To destroy NativeAd that was registered to NativeAdView, you should call: 

nativeAdView.destroy();
You can't use this instance on NativeAdView after call destroy(). You should hide this view or register another NativeAd.

Integration Example

public void loadNativeAds() {
    Appodeal.setRequiredNativeMediaAssetType(Native.MediaAssetType.ICON);
    Appodeal.initialize(this, YOUR_APP_KEY, Appodeal.NATIVE, consentValue);
    Appodeal.setNativeCallbacks(new NativeCallbacks() {
        @Override
        public void onNativeLoaded() {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "onNativeLoaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

        @Override
        public void onNativeFailedToLoad() {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "onNativeFailedToLoad", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

        @Override
        public void onNativeShown(NativeAd nativeAd) {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "onNativeShown", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

        @Override
        public void onNativeClicked(NativeAd nativeAd) {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "onNativeClicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "onNativeExpired", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });
};
To show loaded native ad: 
public void showNativeAd(){
    List<NativeAd> loadedNativeAds = Appodeal.getNativeAds(1);
    if (loadedNativeAds.isEmpty()){
        //Native Ads not loaded yet
        return;
    }
    NativeAd nativeAd = loadedNativeAds.get(0);
    NativeAdView nativeAdView = (NativeAdView) findViewById(R.id.native_layout);

    TextView tvTitle = (TextView) nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.tv_title);
    tvTitle.setText(nativeAd.getTitle());
    nativeAdView.setTitleView(tvTitle);

    TextView tvDescription = (TextView) nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.tv_description);
    tvDescription.setText(nativeAd.getDescription());
    nativeAdView.setDescriptionView(tvDescription);

    RatingBar ratingBar = (RatingBar) nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.rb_rating);
    if (nativeAd.getRating() == 0) {
        ratingBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
    } else {
        ratingBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        ratingBar.setRating(nativeAd.getRating());
        ratingBar.setStepSize(0.1f);
    }
    nativeAdView.setRatingView(ratingBar);

    Button ctaButton = (Button) nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.b_cta);
    ctaButton.setText(nativeAd.getCallToAction());
    nativeAdView.setCallToActionView(ctaButton);

    View providerView = nativeAd.getProviderView(context);
    if (providerView != null) {
        if (providerView.getParent() != null && providerView.getParent() instanceof ViewGroup) {
            ((ViewGroup) providerView.getParent()).removeView(providerView);
        }
        FrameLayout providerViewContainer = (FrameLayout) nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.provider_view);
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        providerViewContainer.addView(providerView, layoutParams);
    }
    nativeAdView.setProviderView(providerView);

    TextView tvAgeRestrictions = (TextView) nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.tv_age_restriction);
    if (nativeAd.getAgeRestrictions() != null) {
        tvAgeRestrictions.setText(nativeAd.getAgeRestrictions());
        tvAgeRestrictions.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    } else {
        tvAgeRestrictions.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    }

    NativeIconView nativeIconView = nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.icon);
    nativeAdView.setNativeIconView(nativeIconView);

    NativeMediaView nativeMediaView = (NativeMediaView) nativeAdView.findViewById(R.id.appodeal_media_view_content);
    nativeAdView.setNativeMediaView(nativeMediaView);

    nativeAdView.registerView(nativeAd);
    nativeAdView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}

To use this wrapper adapter, you should create a new instance of AppodealWrapperAdapter: 
AppodealWrapperAdapter appodealWrapperAdapter = new AppodealWrapperAdapter(myAdapter, 2);
And set this wrapper adapter to your recycler view.

Check If Ad Is Initialized

To check if native was initialized, you can use the method: 

Appodeal.isInitialized(Appodeal.NATIVE);
Returns true, if the native was initialized.

Check If Autocache Is Enabled

To check if autocache is enabled for native, you can use the method: 

Appodeal.isAutoCacheEnabled(Appodeal.NATIVE);
Returns true, if autocache is enabled for native.

Get Predicted eCPM

To get the predicted eCPM from the next block in the caching queue, use the method:

For native ad there is a method in the NativeAd interface: 

NativeAd.getPredictedEcpm();

This method is reasonable to use if manual caching of ads is enabled.

Check Viewability

You can always check in logs if show was tracked and your ad is visible.

You will see the Native [Notify Shown] log if show was tracked successfully.
