• This page provides steps on viewing and verifying adapters associated with your ad sources using the Ad Inspector.

• Prerequisites include completing initial setup steps like setting up an AdMob account, adding a test device, initializing the Google Mobile Ads SDK, and launching the Ad Inspector.

• You can view a list of all adapters by clicking "Adapters" in the Ad Inspector and expanding cards to see initialization statuses and versions.

• Custom event adapters, used for ad sources not supported by AdMob, can also be viewed in the adapter list.

• Older custom event implementations might show "Issue found" in the Ad Inspector if they use deprecated subclasses, and you should replace the interface with an adapter class if your integration is working as expected.

This page covers steps on viewing and verifying adapters associated with your ad sources.

Prerequisites

Before you continue, do the following:

• Complete all items in the initial Prerequisites to create an AdMob account, set your test device, initialize Google Mobile Ads SDK, and install the latest version.
• Launch ad inspector.

You can view a list of all adapters associated with the ad sources configured in your app. To view the list, complete the following steps:

1. In the Ad inspector page, click Adapters.

2. Expand the cards to view initialization statuses and adapter and third-party SDK versions.

   

If the adapter isn't found or fails to initialize, see Troubleshoot issues found using ad inspector.

View custom event adapters

You can also view custom event adapters. Custom events lets you set up waterfall mediation for an ad source that AdMob doesn't support. In the adapter list, Custom events are distinct by unique class names. In addition to providing the class name, ad inspector also displays labels assigned to those custom events in the AdMob UI. For more details on custom events, see Setup.

Earlier implementations of custom events, such as prior to the Google Mobile Ads SDK version 9.0.0, can use deprecated subclasses that don't support initialization and return Issue found within ad inspector. If you see the Issue found warning, and your custom event integration works as expected, check if your app is using a deprecated interface and replace the interface with an adapter class. For details, see GADMediationAdapter.
