A new native ads template type that is not dependent on static size. Only to be used for native ads - not native banner ads. Supported size is 200x200 and bigger.
In order to use the new template, you can use the same method just without passing in the template type:
private NativeAd nativeAd;
...
nativeAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
...
@Override
public void onAdLoaded(Ad ad) {
// Render the Native Ad Template
View adView = NativeAdView.render(MainActivity.this, nativeAd);
LinearLayout nativeAdContainer = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.native_ad_container);
// Add the Native Ad View to your ad container.
// The recommended dimensions for the ad container are:
// Width: 280dp - 500dp
// Height: 250dp - 500dp
// The template, however, will adapt to the supplied dimensions.
nativeAdContainer.addView(adView, new LayoutParams(MATCH_PARENT, 800));
}
}This is what the new Templates look like:
We introduced an initialization method in 5.1.0. This function is now mandatory in SDK 5.2.0 onwards.
In order to ensure the Audience Network SDK functions correctly, we require using the init function, which ensures that ad delivery and measurement will not be impacted. This method needs to be called once, ideally from your Application, or in the onCreate() method in the activity which contains your ads.
public class YourApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
AudienceNetworkAds.initialize(this);
}
