Overview

Thank you for choosing Pokkt SDKfor Maramalade. This document contains all the information required to set up the SDK with your project. We also support mediation for various third party networks. To know the supported third party networks and their integration process go to mediation section .

Before implementing plugins it is mandatory to go through project configuration and implementation steps, as these sections contain mandatory steps for basic SDK integration and are followed by every plugin.

You can download our SDK from pokkt.com.

In the package PokktNativeExtension.zipdownloaded above you will find:

  1. Docs:

    Contains documentations for step wise step integration for SDK.

  2. PokktAds Demo:

    Source code for PokktAds Demo(Sample app) which showcase implementation of Pokkt SDK through code for better understanding.

  3. PokktAds Demo.apk:

    Application package of PoktkAds Demo, so that you can directly install this apk on your device and have a look how our SDK works instead of compiling the source code.

  4. Pokkt Native Extension:

    It is the extension project for Pokkt SDK which will be added in main project as sub project in .mkb file

minSdkVersionsupported is 11 .

ScreenName:This one parameter is accepted by almost all API’s of Pokkt SDK. This controls the placement of ads and can be created on Pokkt Dashboard.

We will be referencing PokktAds Demoapp provided with SDK. We will be referencing this app during the course of explanation in this document. We suggest you go through the sample app for better understanding.

Project Configuration

Dependencies

  • Add Pokkt Native Extension to your project to your "subprojects".

  • We expect Google play servicesintegrated in project, although it;s optional but we recommend you to integrate it, as it’s required to fetch AdvertisingIDfor device,which is useful to deliver targeted advertising to Android users.

Manifest

Permissions Declarations

Add the following permissions to your project manifest

  1. Mandatory permissions.

    • android.permission.INTERNET = Required for SDK communication with server.

    • android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE = Required for creating unique identifier for you application based on the unique id of the device like IMEI.

  2. Optional permissions.
