repositories:
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
maven {
url = uri("https://artifact.bytedance.com/repository/pangle/")
}
}
}
Then, in your app-level build.gradle.kts
file, add the following
implementation dependencies and configurations. Use the latest versions of the
Pangle SDK and adapter:
dependencies {
implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:23.5.0")
implementation("com.google.ads.mediation:pangle:6.3.0.2.0")
}

.aar
file, and add it to your project.
Step 4: Add required code
ProGuard obfuscation
If you use ProGuard to obfuscate Android code, follow the instructions in Pangle's documentation to ensure Pangle SDK code isn't obfuscated.
Step 5: Test your implementation
Enable test ads
Make sure you register your test device for Ad Manager and enable test mode in Pangle UI.
Verify test ads
To verify that you are receiving test ads from Pangle, enable single ad source testing in ad inspector using the Pangle (Bidding) and Pangle (Waterfall) ad source(s).
Optional Steps
Native ads
Ad rendering
The Pangle adapter returns its native ads as
NativeAd
objects. It populates the following
fields
for a
NativeAd
.
Field | Assets always included by Pangle adapter |
---|---|
Headline | |
Image | 1 |
Body | |
Icon | |
Call to action | |
Star rating | |
Store | |
Price | |
Advertiser |
1 The Pangle adapter does not
provide direct access to the main image asset for its native ads. Instead, the
adapter populates the
MediaView
with a video or an image.
Error codes
If the adapter fails to receive an ad from Pangle, you can check the
underlying error from the ad response using
ResponseInfo.getAdapterResponses()
under the following classes:
com.pangle.ads
com.google.ads.mediation.pangle.PangleMediationAdapter
Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the Pangle adapter when an ad fails to load:
Error code | Domain | Reason |
---|---|---|
101 | com.google.ads.mediation.pangle | Invalid server parameters (e.g. Missing app ID or placement ID). |
102 | com.google.ads.mediation.pangle | The requested ad size does not match a Pangle supported banner size. |
103 | com.google.ads.mediation.pangle | Missing or invalid bid response. |
