AdMob ads into your Android Studio project using Java

 Integrating AdMob ads into your Android Studio project using Java is a common task for app developers. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you with the process.

1.Set up AdMob Account:

🎖️If you haven't already, sign up for an AdMob account at https://admob.google.com/.

🎖️Create an AdMob app and set up ad units for your Android app.

2.Add AdMob Dependency:

🎖️Open your 'build.gradle' file (usually found in the app module) and add the AdMob dependency:

Gradle:

// add your build.gradle implement

implementation ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:20.4.0")

3.Update AndroidManifest.xml:

🎖️Add the following permissions to your 'AndroidManifest.xml' file:

AndroidManifest.xml:

// add your user permission AndroidManifest.xml file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

🎖️Add your AdMob App ID inside the '<application>' tag:

<meta-data

    android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"

    android:value="YOUR_ADMOB_APP_ID"/>

4.Add AdView to Your Layout:

Open the layout file where you want to display the ad '(e.g., activity_main.xml)' and add an AdView:

activity_main.xml:

// add your activity_main.xml adview layout

<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView

    android:id="@+id/adView"

    android:layout_width="wrap_content"

    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

    ads:adSize="BANNER"

    ads:adUnitId="YOUR_AD_UNIT_ID"

    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>

5.Load Ad in Your Activity:

Open your Java activity file '(e.g., MainActivity.java)' and add code to load the ad:

MainActivity.java:

// add your MainActivity.java  xml

import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;

import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private AdView mAdView;

    @Override

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        // Initialize the Mobile Ads SDK

        MobileAds.initialize(this, initializationStatus -> {});

        // Load the ad

        mAdView = findViewById(R.id.adView);

        AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();

        mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);

    }

}

6.Test Your Integration:

During development, it's essential to test your ad integration to ensure everything works correctly. You can use test ad units provided by AdMob to avoid serving live ads during testing.

That's it! You've successfully integrated AdMob ads into your Android app using Java. Remember to comply with AdMob's policies and guidelines, especially regarding ad placement and content.
