Integrate Pangle with mediation

This guide shows you how to use the Google Mobile Ads SDK to load and display ads from Pangle using AdMob Mediation, covering both waterfall and bidding integrations. It covers how to add Pangle to an ad unit's mediation configuration, and how to integrate the Pangle SDK and adapter into an Android app.

Supported integrations and ad formats

The mediation adapter for Pangle has the following capabilities:

Integration
Bidding
Waterfall
Formats
App open  1
Banner
Interstitial
Rewarded
Rewarded Interstitial
Native
1 Bidding integration for this format is in closed beta.

Requirements

  • Android API level 21 or higher

Step 1: Set up configurations in Pangle UI

Sign up or Log in to your Pangle account.

Add a new application

Navigate to the Applications tab and click the Add App button.

Select the Operating System you wish to create an application for and fill out the rest of the form. Then, click Submit.

Take note of your application's App ID.

Create an ad placement

Once your application has been created, click the Add button to create your ad placement.

Bidding

Select your Ad Format and Ad Placement Name, and select In-App Bidding as the Pricing Type. Fill out the rest of the form and click Submit.

Once your ad placement is created, take note of the Ad Placement ID.

Waterfall

Select your Ad Format and Ad Placement Name, and Global CPM as the Pricing Type. Fill out the rest of the form and click Submit.

Once your ad placement is created, take note of the Ad Placement ID.

Locate Pangle Reporting API key

Bidding

This step isn't required for bidding integrations.

Waterfall

Take note of the User ID at the bottom left corner of the page.

Click Integrations > SDK & API > Pangle Reporting API 2.0. Take note of Role ID and Security Key.

Turn on test mode

Follow the instructions in Pangle's How to add a Test Ad guide on how to enable Pangle test ads.

Step 2: Set up Pangle demand in AdMob UI

Configure mediation settings for your ad unit

You need to add Pangle to the mediation configuration for your ad unit.

First, sign in to your AdMob account. Next, navigate to the Mediation tab. If you have an existing mediation group you'd like to modify, click the name of that mediation group to edit it, and skip ahead to Add Pangle as an ad source.

To create a new mediation group, select Create Mediation Group.

Enter your ad format and platform, then click Continue.

Give your mediation group a name, and select locations to target. Next, set the mediation group status to Enabled, and then click Add Ad Units.

Associate this mediation group with one or more of your existing AdMob ad units. Then click Done.

You should now see the ad units card populated with the ad units you selected:

Add Pangle as an ad source

Bidding

Under the Bidding card in the Ad Sources section, select Add Ad Source. Then select Pangle (SDK).

Click How to sign a partnership agreement and set up a bidding partnership with Pangle.

Click Acknowledge & agree, then click Continue.

If you already have a mapping for Pangle, you can select it. Otherwise, click Add mapping.

Next, enter the App ID and Ad Placement ID obtained in the previous section. Then click Done.

Waterfall

Under the Waterfall card in the Ad Sources section, select Add Ad Source. Then select Pangle.

Select Pangle. Then enter an eCPM value for Pangle and click Continue.

If you already have a mapping for Pangle, you can select it. Otherwise, click Add mapping.

Next, enter the App ID and Ad Placement ID obtained in the previous section. Then click Done.

Step 3: Import the Pangle SDK and adapter

In your project-level settings.gradle.kts file, add the following repositories:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
  repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
      url = uri("https://artifact.bytedance.com/repository/pangle/")
    }
  }
}

Then, in your app-level build.gradle.kts file, add the following implementation dependencies and configurations. Use the latest versions of the Pangle SDK and adapter:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:23.5.0")
    implementation("com.google.ads.mediation:pangle:6.3.0.4.0")
}

Manual integration

  1. Download the latest version of the Pangle SDK for Android and extract the open_ad_sdk.aar under from the downloaded archive folder and add it to your project.

  2. Navigate to the Pangle adapter artifacts on Google's Maven Repository. Select the latest version, download the Pangle adapter's .aar file, and add it to your project.

Step 4: Add required code

ProGuard obfuscation

If you use ProGuard to obfuscate Android code, follow the instructions in Pangle's documentation to ensure Pangle SDK code isn't obfuscated.

Step 5: Test your implementation

Enable test ads

Make sure you register your test device for AdMob and enable test mode in Pangle UI.

Verify test ads

To verify that you are receiving test ads from Pangle, enable single ad source testing in ad inspector using the Pangle (Bidding) and Pangle (Waterfall) ad source(s).

Optional Steps

Native ads

Ad rendering

The Pangle adapter returns its native ads as NativeAd objects. It populates the following fields for a NativeAd.

Field Assets always included by Pangle adapter
Headline
Image 1
Body
Icon
Call to action
Star rating
Store
Price
Advertiser

1 The Pangle adapter does not provide direct access to the main image asset for its native ads. Instead, the adapter populates the MediaView with a video or an image.

Error codes

If the adapter fails to receive an ad from Pangle, you can check the underlying error from the ad response using ResponseInfo.getAdapterResponses() under the following classes:

com.pangle.ads
com.google.ads.mediation.pangle.PangleMediationAdapter

Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the Pangle adapter when an ad fails to load:

Error code Domain Reason
101 com.google.ads.mediation.pangle Invalid server parameters (e.g. Missing app ID or placement ID).
102 com.google.ads.mediation.pangle The requested ad size does not match a Pangle supported banner size.
103 com.google.ads.mediation.pangle Missing or invalid bid response.
-1-60000 com.pangle.ads Pangle SDK returned an error. See Pangle's documentation for more details.
