Naver Ad Manager SDK for Android

Integrating the Naver Ad Manager(NAM) SDK into an app is the first step toward displaying ads and earning revenue. Once you've integrated the SDK, you can choose an ad format (such as banner or native or rewarded or interstitial) and follow the steps to implement it.

Before you begin

To prepare your app, complete the steps in the following sections.

App prerequisites

• Use Android Studio 3.2 or higher
• Make sure that your app's build file uses the following values:
  • A minSdkVersion of 21 or higher
  • A compileSdkVersion of 28 or higher

Configure your app

1. In your project-level build.gradle file, include Google's Maven repository and Maven central repository in both your buildscript and allprojects sections:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

2. Set the compile options to java 8, in your module's app-level Gradle file, normally app/build.gradle:

android {
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}

3. Add the dependencies for the Naver Ad Manager SDK to your module's app-level Gradle file, normally app/build.gradle:

(Required) Add the core dependency

dependencies {
    implementation platform('com.naver.gfpsdk:nam-bom:<latest-version>')
    implementation 'com.naver.gfpsdk:nam-core' // no version specified
}

Note

You can avoid specifying the version of each dependency with a Bill Of Materials.

4. Add your Publisher Code to your app's AndroidManifest.xml file.

To do so, add a <meta-data> tag with android:name="com.naver.gfpsdk.PUBLISHER_CD". For android:value, insert your own Publisher Code.

<manifest>
    <application>
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.naver.gfpsdk.PUBLISHER_CD"
            android:value="@string/publisher_cd" />
    </application>
</manifest>

Note

GfpSdkInitProvider will handle the initialization of NAM SDK. This ContentProvider is merged into the app's manifest by default when building with Gradle, and it runs automatically at app launch. No additional lines of code are needed in this case.

5. Select an ad format

NAM SDK is now imported and you're ready to implement an ad. NAM SDK offers a number of different ad formats, so you can choose the one that best fits your app's user experience.

Ad Provider	Description
Banner Ads	Rectangular ads that appear at the top or bottom of the device screen. Banner ads stay on screen while users are interacting with the app, and can refresh automatically after a certain period of time. If you're new to mobile advertising, they're a great place to start.
Native Ads	Customizable ads that match the look and feel of your app. You decide how and where they're placed, so the layout is more consistent with your app's design.
Native Simple Ads	Native Simple has been designed to make the implementation of native ads as easy as possible, and it's a great choice if you are new to the format.
In Stream Ads	In-Stream (Video) AD is placed between the beginning and the end of the video content.
Rewarded Ads	Rewarded ads provide incentives and rewards to users when they complete watching a video in full screen.

6. Select mediation you want to integrate
