Add an ad client dependency (Android v3)

🚧

If you are not using FreeWheel Ad Manager, Google DAI, or Google IMA to serve your ads, skip to Schedule VAST ads.

The JWP SDK for Android integrates several ad client SDKs that you can use to request ads:

• FreeWheel Ad Manager
• Google DAI
• Google IMA

Requirements

Gradle

1. In the build.gradle file of your app, add the dependency from the following table. Be sure to replace x.x.x with the dependency version number.

2. (FreeWheel only) Add FreeWheel's Ad Manager dependency.
3. Sync Gradle.

dependencies {
  ...
  implementation 'com.longtailvideo.jwplayer:jwplayer-core:x.x.x'
  implementation 'com.longtailvideo.jwplayer:jwplayer-common:x.x.x'
  implementation '{jw_player_dependency}'
  implementation '{freewheel_admanager_dependency}'
}
