    implementation 'com.tapdaq.sdk:TapdaqAdColonyAdapter:'

    implementation 'com.tapdaq.sdk:TapdaqAppLovinAdapter:'
    
    implementation 'com.tapdaq.sdk:TapdaqChartboostAdapter:'
    
    implementation 'com.tapdaq.sdk:TapdaqFANAdapter:'

If you are using ProGuard in your app, see our Proguard page for details.

B. Network Specific Settings

Facebook Audience Network

For Android P (9.0) or higher devices, in order to load ads a config must be added to the AndroidManifest.xml, see full details on the Facebook website

2. Authenticate with Tapdaq

A. Override the TMInitListener

This listener object is provided in the initialise method, didInitialise will be called when the Tapdaq SDK is ready to receive requests such as load/show method calls. didFailToInitialise may be called if Tapdaq was unable to initialise.

public class TapdaqInitListener extends TMInitListener {

    public void didInitialise() {
        super.didInitialise();
        // Ads may now be requested
    }

    @Override
    public void didFailToInitialise(TMAdError error) {
        super.didFailToInitialise(error);
        //Tapdaq failed to initialise
    }
}

B. Initialise Tapdaq

Add the import statement in your main activity:

import com.tapdaq.sdk.*;
import com.tapdaq.sdk.common.*;
import com.tapdaq.sdk.listeners.*;

Navigate to the following method in your main activity, and add the following code:

Log in with your Tapdaq account to have these keys generated automatically.

Log In
Sign Up

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

  TapdaqConfig config = new TapdaqConfig();
  
  config.setUserSubjectToGDPR(STATUS.TRUE); //GDPR declare if user is in EU
  config.setConsentStatus(STATUS.TRUE); //GDPR consent must be obtained from the user
  config.setAgeRestrictedUserStatus(STATUS.FALSE); //Is user subject to COPPA or GDPR age restrictions
     
  Tapdaq.getInstance().initialize(this, "<APP_ID>", "<CLIENT_KEY>", config, new TapdaqInitListener());
}

For more on GDPR and COPPA compliance, see the User Privacy section.

Once the Tapdaq SDK initialises, didInitialise() will be called.

3. Update GDPR Consent

Consent can be updated mid session as well as at initialisation, it can be set and unset.

Tapdaq.getInstance().setUserSubjectToGDPR(MainActivity.this, STATUS.TRUE);
Tapdaq.getInstance().setContentGiven(MainActivity.this, true);
Tapdaq.getInstance().setIsAgeRestrictedUser(MainActivity.this, true);

For Mintegral: for users outside the EU UserSubjectToGDPR must be set to FALSE to receive ads. For users inside the EU UserSubjectToGDPR must be TRUE with ConsentGiven also TRUE to receive ads.

4. Display an advert
