Supports Android OS 4.1.x (Jelly Bean) and up.
You will need a MobFox account.
MobFox SDK can easily be added as a dependency from JitPack package repository.
Add JitPack to your repositories, if missing.
In your build.gradle:
allprojects {
repositories {
//... other repositories ...
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}Next, add Google Play Services and MobFox-Android-SDK-Core to your compile dependencies:
dependencies {
//... other dependencies ...
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:+'
compile 'com.github.mobfox:MobFox-Android-SDK-Core:3.2.7b'
}Done.
Download and unzip MobFox-Android-SDK or clone this repository and extract the MobFox-Android-SDK-Core-latest.jar and put it in your project under the libs directory.
Next, In your gradle.build add the following dependencies:
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:+'
compile 'com.danikula:videocache:2.7.0'
compile files('libs/MobFox-Android-SDK-Core-3.+.jar')
}In your project's AndroidManifest.xml under the manifest tag, add the following permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"></uses-permission>
...
<application
...
<!--mobfox interstitial activity-->
<activity android:name="com.mobfox.sdk.interstitialads.InterstitialActivity" android:hardwareAccelerated="true" />
<service android:name="com.mobfox.sdk.services.MobFoxService" android:launchMode="singleTop" />
...
</application>
-keep class com.mobfox.** { *; }

-keep class com.mobfox.adapter.** {*;}

-keep class com.mobfox.sdk.** {*;}
Banner's width equals screen width.
In your layout xml, in the Banner tag set smart banner by adding the mobfox attribute xmlns:mobfox="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.mobfox.sdk" and set smart to true mobfox:smart="true"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"

</RelativeLayout>Sending the user's location will provide you with higher CPMs.
In your layout xml, in the Banner tag enable location by adding the mobfox attribute xmlns:mobfox="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.mobfox.sdk" and enable location to true mobfox:enableLocation="true"

</RelativeLayout>This could also be achieved by calling the static method
Banner.setLoc(true);
Enable location by calling the static method InterstitialAd.getLocation(true);
Enable location by calling the static method Native.setLoc(true);
Find Demoapp source here, apk can be found under demoapp/release, and via demoapp-latest.apk in the project's root folder.
Add to your activity's layout xml:
<com.mobfox.sdk.bannerads.Banner
android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:id="@+id/banner"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true">
</com.mobfox.sdk.bannerads.Banner>It's advised to select popular layout_width/layout_height combinations so you'll get a good fill rate.
Popular sizes are: 320x50, 300x250, 320x480
In your activity set up the banner:
// ...
import com.mobfox.sdk.bannerads.Banner;

//permission dialog for marshmello and above
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
banner.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);

//add this so video ads will work properly
@Override

super.onPause();
banner.onPause();
}
@Override

super.onResume();
banner.onResume();
}
// ...Enable refresh by calling the method banner.setRefresh(5)

In your activity set up the interstitialAd interstitial:

Toast.makeText(self, "loaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
//call show() to display the interstitial when its finished loading
interstitial.show();
}
@Override
public void onInterstitialFailed(InterstitialAd interstitial, Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(self, e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

interstitial.setListener(listener);
interstitial.setInventoryHash("<your-publication-hash>");
interstitial.load();

Custom Events let you use your accounts on other advertising platforms such as MoPub inside MobFox's SDK.
Adapters are the opposite of Custom Events, they let you use MobFox as a Custom Event in other networks.
Plugins can be found in SDK-plugins repository.
