Appodeal Cordova Plugin

This is an unofficial Appodeal Cordova plugin, created to integrate Appodeal SDK with Apache Cordova.

How to Update Plugin Manually

Android Part:

• Update appodeal.gradle with desired changes/version.
• Check AppodealPlugin.java for any API changes.
• Done, you can use updated plugin for Android Platform.

iOS Part:

//TODO

• Download new Appodeal iOS SDK here and unzip it somewhere.
• Remove Adapters folder and Appodeal.bundle. Replace old Appodeal.framework with new one and put Resources folder if exists into libs/iOS/Appodeal.
• Open plugin.xml, scroll down to <platform name="ios"> and check system frameworks for any changes due to changes in 3 Step of 5.3 Manual Integration in Appodeal iOS Doc page.
• Remove all the content after <framework custom="true" src="libs/iOS/Appodeal/Appodeal.framework"/> in plugin.xml up to </platform> close tag.
• Skip this step if unzipped iOS SDK does not contain Resources folder. Add all resources from Resources folder of unzipped iOS SDK manually after <framework custom="true" src="libs/iOS/Appodeal/Appodeal.framework"/>, for example:

<resource-file src="libs/iOS/Appodeal/Resources/MPCloseBtn.png"/>

• Check AppodealPlugin.m for any API changes.
• Done, you can use updated plugin for iOS Platform.

Install

Simply go to the project folder over console/terminal and run there following command:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/GartorwareCorp/appodeal-cordova-plugin-framework.git --variable ADMOB_APP_ID="<YOUR_ANDROID_ADMOB_APP_ID_AS_FOUND_IN_ADMOB>"

Also, if targeting Android >= 28, create a resources/android/xml/network_security_config.xml file with this content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <trust-anchors>
            <certificates src="system" />
            <certificates src="user" />
        </trust-anchors>
    </base-config>
    <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <domain includeSubdomains="true">127.0.0.1</domain>
    </domain-config>
</network-security-config>

And edit your config.xml to include this file in your build:

<edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
     <application android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config" />
</edit-config>
<resource-file src="resources/android/xml/network_security_config.xml" target="app/src/main/res/xml/network_security_config.xml" />
        

If you have issues while installing plugin, follow the Command-line Interface Guide.

Minimum OS requirements:

• iOS 8.1
• Android API level 14 (Android OS 4.0)

Multidex

If receiving errors while compiling about method number limites (>65K), please, enable Multidex:

For Android X

Proguard

Proguard rules should be auto included, so no changes needed.

Cordova Integration

Ad Types

• Appodeal.INTERSTITIAL
• Appodeal.BANNER_TOP
• Appodeal.BANNER_BOTTOM
• Appodeal.REWARDED_VIDEO

Ad types can be combined using "|" operator. For example Appodeal.INTERSTITIAL | Appodeal.REWARDED_VIDEO.

SDK Initialization

To initialize SDK for INTERSTITIAL ad type, call the following code:

var appKey = "e7e04e54ae0a8d28cff2f7e7e7d094e78b2a09743be2cc4a";
Appodeal.disableLocationPermissionCheck();
Appodeal.initialize(appKey, Appodeal.INTERSTITIAL, consent);

• To initialize only interstitials use Appodeal.initialize(appKey, Appodeal.INTERSTITIAL)
• To initialize only rewarded video use Appodeal.initialize(appKey, Appodeal.REWARDED_VIDEO)
• To initialize only non-skippable video use Appodeal.initialize(appKey, Appodeal.NON_SKIPPABLE_VIDEO)
• To initialize interstitials and non-skippable videos use Appodeal.initialize(appKey, Appodeal.INTERSTITIAL | Appodeal.NON_SKIPPABLE_VIDEO)
• To initialize only banners use Appodeal.initialize(appKey, Appodeal.BANNER)

Display Ad

To display ad you need to call the following code:

Appodeal.show(adTypes);

• To display interstitial use Appodeal.show(Appodeal.INTERSTITIAL)
• To display rewarded video use Appodeal.show(Appodeal.REWARDED_VIDEO)
• To display non-skippable video use Appodeal.show(Appodeal.NON_SKIPPABLE_VIDEO)
• To display interstitial or non-skippable video use Appodeal.show(Appodeal.INTERSTITIAL | Appodeal.NON_SKIPPABLE_VIDEO)
• To display banner at the bottom of the screen use Appodeal.show(Appodeal.BANNER_BOTTOM)
• To display banner at the top of the screen use Appodeal.show(Appodeal.BANNER_TOP)

Also it can be used in this way, to get boolean value if ad was successfully shown:

Appodeal.show(adTypes, function(result) {
   // result is a boolean value, that is indicates whether show call was passed to appropriate SDK 
});

Checking if interstitial is loaded

To check if ad type was loaded, use following code:

Appodeal.isLoaded(adTypes, function(result){
    // result returns bool value
});

Hide Banner Ad

To hide banner you need to call the following code:

Appodeal.hide(Appodeal.BANNER);

Callbacks integration

Callbacks can be setted with following code:

Appodeal.setInterstitialCallbacks( function(result) {
       console.log(result);
});
Appodeal.setBannerCallbacks( function(result) {
       console.log(result);
});
Appodeal.setRewardedVideoCallbacks( function(result) {
       console.log(result);
});
Appodeal.setNonSkippableVideoCallbacks( function(result) {
       console.log(result);
});

result.event can be one of the following:

onInit
onLoaded
onFailedToLoad
onClick
onShown
onClosed
onFinished
onExpired
onShowFailed

To set Interstitial callbacks, use following code:

Appodeal.setInterstitialCallbacks( function(container) {
       if (container.event == 'onLoaded') {
            console.log("Appodeal. Interstitial. " + container.event + ", isPrecache: " + container.isPrecache  );
            // your code
       } else if (container.event == 'onFailedToLoad') {
            // your code
       } else if (container.event == 'onShown') {
            // your code
       } else if (container.event == 'onClick') {
            // your code
       } else if (container.event == 'onClosed') {
            // your code
       }
});

To set Banner callbacks, use following code:

Appodeal.setBannerCallbacks( function(container) {
       if (container.event == 'onLoaded') {
            console.log("Appodeal. Banner. " + container.event + ", height: " + container.height + ", isPrecache: " + container.isPrecache);
            // your code
       } else if (container.event == 'onFailedToLoad') {
            // your code
       } else if (container.event == 'onShown') {
            // your code
       } else if (container.event == 'onClick') {
            // your code
       }
});

To set Rewarded Video callbacks, use following code:

Appodeal.setRewardedVideoCallbacks( function(container) {
       if (container.event == 'onLoaded') {
            // your code
       } else if (container.event == 'onFailedToLoad') {
            // your code
       } else if (container.event == 'onShown') {
            // your code
       } else if (container.event == 'onFinished') {
            // container also returns "name" and "amount" variables with reward amount and currency name you have set for your application
            console.log( "Appodeal. Rewarded. " + container.event + ", amount: " + container.amount + ", name: " + container.name);
            // your code
       } else if (container.event == 'onClosed') {
            // container also returns "finished" variable with boolean value for indicating if video was finished
            console.log("Appodeal. Rewarded. " + container.event + ", finished: " + container.finished);
            // your code
       }
});

To set Non Skippable Video callbacks, use following code:

Appodeal.setNonSkippableVideoCallbacks( function(container) {
       if (container.event == 'onLoaded') {
            // your code
       } else if (container.event == 'onFailedToLoad') {
            // your code
       } else if (container.event == 'onShown') {
            // your code
       } else if (container.event == 'onFinished') {
            // your code
       } else if (container.event == 'onClosed') {
            // container also returns "finished" variable with boolean value for indicating if video was finished
            console.log("Appodeal. Non Skippable Video. " + container.event + ", finished: " + container.finished);
            // your code
       }
});
