Step 2: Set up DT Exchange demand in AdMob UI

Configure mediation settings for your ad unit

You need to add DT Exchange to the mediation configuration for your ad unit.

First, sign in to your AdMob account. Next, navigate to the Mediation tab. If you have an existing mediation group you'd like to modify, click the name of that mediation group to edit it, and skip ahead to Add DT Exchange as an ad source.

To create a new mediation group, select Create Mediation Group.

Enter your ad format and platform, then click Continue.

Give your mediation group a name, and select locations to target. Next, set the mediation group status to Enabled, and then click Add Ad Units.

Associate this mediation group with one or more of your existing AdMob ad units. Then click Done.

You should now see the ad units card populated with the ad units you selected:

Add DT Exchange as an ad source

Under the Waterfall card in the Ad Sources section, select Add Ad Source. Then select DT Exchange.

Select DT Exchange and enable the Optimize switch. Enter the Publisher ID, Consumer Secret and Consumer Key obtained in the previous section to set up ad source optimization for DT Exchange. Then enter an eCPM value for DT Exchange and click Continue.

If you already have a mapping for DT Exchange, you can select it. Otherwise, click Add mapping.

Next, enter the Application ID and Placement ID obtained in the previous section. Then click Done.

Add DT Exchange (Fyber Monetization) to GDPR and US state regulations ad partners list

Follow the steps in GDPR settings and US state regulations settings to add DT Exchange (Fyber Monetization) to the GDPR and US state regulations ad partners list in the AdMob UI.

Step 3: Import the DT Exchange SDK and adapter

In your app-level build.gradle.kts file, add the following implementation dependencies and configurations. Use the latest versions of the DT Exchange SDK and adapter:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:23.5.0")
    implementation("com.google.ads.mediation:fyber:8.3.2.0")
}

Manual integration

  • Download the latest version of the DT Exchange SDK for Android and add the following files to your project:
    • ia-mraid-kit-release-x.y.z.aar
    • ia-sdk-core-release-x.y.z.aar
    • ia-video-kit-release-x.y.z.aar
  • Navigate to the DT Exchange adapter artifacts on Google's Maven Repository. Select the latest version, download the DT Exchange adapter's .aar file, and add it to your project.

Step 4: Implement privacy settings on DT Exchange SDK

Under the Google EU User Consent Policy, you must ensure that certain disclosures are given to, and consents obtained from, users in the European Economic Area (EEA) regarding the use of device identifiers and personal data. This policy reflects the requirements of the EU ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When seeking consent, you must identify each ad network in your mediation chain that may collect, receive, or use personal data and provide information about each network's use. Google currently is unable to pass the user's consent choice to such networks automatically.

DT Exchange contains an API that lets you forward user consent to their SDK. The following sample code shows how to pass consent information to the DT Exchange SDK manually. Should you choose to pass consent information to the DT Exchange SDK manually, it is recommended that this code is called prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

Java

import com.fyber.inneractive.sdk.external.InneractiveAdManager;
// ...

InneractiveAdManager.setGdprConsent(true);
InneractiveAdManager.setGdprConsentString("myGdprConsentString");

Kotlin

import com.fyber.inneractive.sdk.external.InneractiveAdManager
// ...

InneractiveAdManager.setGdprConsent(true)
InneractiveAdManager.setGdprConsentString("myGdprConsentString")

Visit DT Exchange's GDPR Resource Page and their GDPR implementation guide for more details and the values that may be provided in the method.

US states privacy laws

U.S. states privacy laws require giving users the right to opt out of the "sale" of their "personal information" (as the law defines those terms), with the opt-out offered via a prominent "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on the "selling" party's homepage. The U.S. states privacy laws compliance guide offers the ability to enable restricted data processing for Google ad serving, but Google is unable to apply this setting to each ad network in your mediation chain. Therefore, you must identify each ad network in your mediation chain that may participate in the sale of personal information and follow guidance from each of those networks to ensure compliance.

DT Exchange contains an API that lets you forward user consent to their SDK. The following sample code shows how to pass consent information to the DT Exchange SDK manually. Should you choose to pass consent information to the DT Exchange SDK manually, it is recommended that this code is called prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

Java

import com.fyber.inneractive.sdk.external.InneractiveAdManager;
// ...

InneractiveAdManager.setUSPrivacyString("myUSPrivacyString");

Kotlin

import com.fyber.inneractive.sdk.external.InneractiveAdManager
// ...

InneractiveAdManager.setUSPrivacyString("myUSPrivacyString")

Visit DT Exchange's CCPA Resource Page and their CCPA implementation guide for more details and the values that may be provided in the method.

Step 5: Add required code

No additional code is required for DT Exchange integration.

Step 6: Test your implementation

Enable test ads

Make sure you register your test device for AdMob.

Verify test ads

To verify that you are receiving test ads from DT Exchange, enable single ad source testing in ad inspector using the DT Exchange (Waterfall) ad source(s).

Optional steps

Network-specific parameters

The DT Exchange adapter supports additional request parameters that can be passed to the adapter as an Android Bundle. The adapter looks for the following keys in the bundle:

Request parameters and values
InneractiveMediationDefs.KEY_AGE Integer. The age of the user
FyberMediationAdapter.KEY_MUTE_VIDEO Boolean. Mute or unmute video

Here's a code example of how to set these ad request parameters:

Java 

Bundle extras = new Bundle();
extras.putInt(InneractiveMediationDefs.KEY_AGE, 10);
extras.putBoolean(FyberMediationAdapter.KEY_MUTE_VIDEO, false);

AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
   .addNetworkExtrasBundle(FyberMediationAdapter.class, extras)
   .build();

Kotlin 

var extras = Bundle()
extras.putInt(InneractiveMediationDefs.KEY_AGE, 10)
extras.putBoolean(FyberMediationAdapter.KEY_MUTE_VIDEO, false)

val request = AdRequest.Builder()
   .addNetworkExtrasBundle(FyberMediationAdapter::class.java, extras)
   .build()

Error codes

If the adapter fails to receive an ad from DT Exchange, you can check the underlying error from the ad response using ResponseInfo.getAdapterResponses() under the following class:

com.google.ads.mediation.fyber.FyberMediationAdapter

Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the DT Exchange adapter when an ad fails to load:

Error code Reason
101 DT Exchange server parameters configured in the AdMob UI are missing/invalid.
103 The requested ad size does not match a DT Exchange supported banner size.
105 DT Exchange SDK loaded an ad but returned an unexpected controller.
106 Ad is not ready to display.
200-399 DT Exchange SDK returned an error. See code for more details.
