Initialization

Before loading ads, apps should initialize the Mobile Ads SDK by calling the configureWithApplicationID: class method in GADMobileAds, and passing it their AdMob App ID. This only needs to be done once, ideally at app launch. You can find the App ID for your app in the AdMob UI.

Here’s an example of how to call the configureWithApplicationID: method in your AppDelegate:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
  // Initialize Google Mobile Ads SDK
  // Sample AdMob app ID: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~1458002511
  [GADMobileAds configureWithApplicationID:@"YOUR_ADMOB_APP_ID"];
  return YES;
}

Android

Installation

• Automatic

$ react-native link react-native-sdk-admob

• Manual

1. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

      include ':react-native-sdk-admob'
      project(':react-native-sdk-admob').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir,  '../node_modules/react-native-sdk-admob/android')

2. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

      implementation project(':react-native-sdk-admob')

1. Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainApplication.java

   • Add import io.github.ichonal.sdkadmob.RNSdkAdmobPackage; to the imports at the top of the file
   • Add new RNSdkAdmobPackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

Configuration

• AppId

Add your AdMob App ID to your app’s AndroidManifest.xml file by adding the <meta-data> tag shown below. You can find your App ID in the AdMob UI. For android:value insert your own AdMob App ID in quotes, as shown below.

<manifest>
    <application>
        <!-- Sample AdMob App ID: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713 -->
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
            android:value="[ADMOB_APP_ID]"/>
    </application>
</manifest>

Important: This step is required as of Google Mobile Ads SDK version 17.0.0. Failure to add this <meta-data> tag results in a crash with the message: “The Google Mobile Ads SDK was initialized incorrectly.”

• AdUnitId: Banner

<meta-data
      android:name="io.github.ichonal.sdkadmob.GADBANNER_ID"
      android:value="[ADMOB_BANNER_ADUNIT_ID]"/>

• AdUnitId: Interstitial

<meta-data
      android:name="io.github.ichonal.sdkadmob.GADINTERSTITIAL_ID"
      android:value="[ADMOB_INTERSTITIAL_ADUNIT_ID]"/>

• AdUnitId: Rewarded Video

<meta-data
      android:name="io.github.ichonal.sdkadmob.GADREWARDED_ID"
      android:value="[ADMOB_REWARDED_ADUNIT_ID]"/>

Initialization

Before loading ads, have your app initialize the Mobile Ads SDK by calling MobileAds.initialize() with your AdMob App ID. This needs to be done only once, ideally at app launch.

Here’s an example of how to call the initialize() method in an Activity:

package ...
import ...
import com.google.android.gms.ads.MobileAds;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    ...
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        // Sample AdMob app ID: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713
        MobileAds.initialize(this, "YOUR_ADMOB_APP_ID");
    }
    ...
}

Usage

import {
    GADBanner,
    GADInterstitial,
    GADRewarded,
} from 'react-native-sdk-admob';
