Ad Placements

You can set a placement name for each ad unit (for example, “Rewarded VideoLevels”, “INTER_levelEnd”, or “RewardedVideoCoinStore”). This can help you aggregate statistics for different placement categories. Below are code snippets that show how you set the placement name for various ad formats:

• AppLovinMAX.createBanner(ad_unit_id, position);
  AppLovinMAX.setBannerPlacement(ad_unit_id, placement);

• AppLovinMAX.createMRec(ad_unit_id, position);
  AppLovinMAX.setMRecPlacement(ad_unit_id, placement);

• AppLovinMAX.showInterstitial(ad_unit_id, placement: placement);

• AppLovinMAX.showRewardedAd(ad_unit_id, placement: placement);

Mute Audio

You can mute audio for certain mediated SDK networks when you launch your app. The networks that support this functionality via the AppLovin SDK are Google bidding and Google AdMob, AppLovin, DT Exchange, Google Ad Manager, LINE, Mintegral, Tencent, and Verve. For other networks, consult your network’s account team to learn whether this functionality is available and how to access it. The following code snippet shows how you mute audio on the supported networks:

AppLovinMAX.setMuted(true);  // to mute
AppLovinMAX.setMuted(false); // to unmute

Enable Verbose Logging

Enable verbose logs with the following call:

AppLovinMAX.setVerboseLogging(true);

To verify that you enabled verbose logs successfully you can check for the line that reads Verbose Logging On: true in the initialization section of the AppLovin SDK logs:

AppLovin SDK
Version: 11.4.2
⋮
Verbose Logging On: true
⋮

AppLovin SDK tags its logs with the tag /AppLovinSdk: [AppLovinSdk].

Segment Name

You can compartmentalize your users into “segments.” This can help you analyze users with particular characteristics, or can be helpful as a part of A/B testing. Each segment has a name of your choice, in the form of a string of 32 or fewer alphanumeric characters. You can set or retrieve the segment name of the current user from the AppLovin SDK by means of the userSegment property:

AppLovinMAX.userSegment.name = 'myusersegment';

Creative ID and Network Name

You can retrieve the creative ID and the network name of displayed ads of various mediated networks. Refer to the Creative Debugger documentation for more information.

DSP Name

You can retrieve the name of the DSP for a MAX ad served from AppLovin Exchange via the ad’s dspName property:

AppLovinMAX.setInterstitialListener(InterstitialListener(
  onAdLoadedCallback: (ad) {
    print("AppLovin Exchange DSP Name: " + ad.dspName);
  },
  ⋮
);

Waterfall Information API

This feature allows you to see the information about the current waterfall for an ad that has loaded or failed to load. The network responses provide the ad load state, latency, credentials, and mediated network information for each ad in the waterfall. If an ad in the waterfall fails to load, the network response provides error information. This API is supported as of Flutter plugin version 2.3.2.

Example

AppLovinMAX.setInterstitialListener(InterstitialListener(
  onAdLoadedCallback: (ad) {    

    print('Waterfall Name: \${ad.waterfall['name']} and Test Name: \${ad.waterfall['testName']}');
    print('Waterfall latency was: \${ad.waterfall['latencyMillis']} milliseconds');

    ad.waterfall['networkResponses'].forEach((networkResponse) {
      var mediatedNetwork = networkResponse['mediatedNetwork'];
      print('Network -> mediatedNetwork: [name: \${mediatedNetwork['name']} '
        'adapterClassName: \${mediatedNetwork['adapterClassName']} '
        'sdkVersion: \${mediatedNetwork['sdkVersion']} '
        'adapterVersion: \${mediatedNetwork['adapterVersion']}]');
      print('...adLoadState: \${networkResponse['adLoadState']}');
      print('...latencyMillis: \${networkResponse['latencyMillis']}');
      print('...credentials: \${networkResponse['credentials']['placement_id']}');

      var error = networkResponse['error'];
      if (error != null) {
        print('...error code: \${error['code']} message: \${error['message']}');
      }
    });
}, onAdLoadFailedCallback: (adUnitId, error) {
  if (error.waterfall.isEmpty) return;

  print('Waterfall Name: \${error.waterfall['name']} and Test Name: \${error.waterfall['testName']}');
  print('Waterfall latency was: \${error.waterfall['latencyMillis']} milliseconds');

  error.waterfall['networkResponses'].forEach((networkResponse) {
    var mediatedNetwork = networkResponse['mediatedNetwork'];
    print('Network -> mediatedNetwork: [name: \${mediatedNetwork['name']} '
          'adapterClassName: \${mediatedNetwork['adapterClassName']} '
          'sdkVersion: \${mediatedNetwork['sdkVersion']} '
          'adapterVersion: \${mediatedNetwork['adapterVersion']}]');
    print('...latencyMillis: \${networkResponse['latencyMillis']}');
    print('...credentials: \${networkResponse['credentials']['placement_id']}');
    var error = networkResponse['error'];
    print('...error code: \${error['code']} message: \${error['message']}');
  });
}));
