Start with this:

B4X:

#AdditionalJar: adcolony
#AdditionalJar: androidx.appcompat:appcompat
#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier
Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

Sub Globals
    Private AdColony As JavaObject
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    AdColony.InitializeStatic("com.adcolony.sdk.AdColony")
    Dim ctxt As JavaObject
    ctxt.InitializeContext
    AdColony.RunMethod("configure", Array(ctxt, "app id", Array As String("zone id"))) '<----------
    RequestInterstitial
End Sub

Sub RequestInterstitial
    Dim listener As JavaObject
    listener.InitializeNewInstance(Application.PackageName & ".main$MyAdColonyInterstitialListener", Null)
    AdColony.RunMethod("requestInterstitial", Array("zone id", listener)) '<----------
End Sub

Sub AdColony_OnRequestFilled (Ad As Object)
    Log("OnRequestFilled")
    Log(Ad)
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

#if Java
import com.adcolony.sdk.*;
public static class MyAdColonyInterstitialListener extends AdColonyInterstitialListener {
    public void onRequestFilled(AdColonyInterstitial ad) {
        main.processBA.raiseEventFromUI(null, "adcolony_onrequestfilled", ad);
    }
}
#End If

Manifest:

B4X:

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Core.NetworkClearText)
AddPermission(android.permission.INTERNET)
AddPermission(android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE)
AddApplicationText(<activity android:name="com.adcolony.sdk.AdColonyInterstitialActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"/>
<activity android:name="com.adcolony.sdk.AdColonyAdViewActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"/>)
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.GooglePlayBase)

Download adcolony.jar: https://github.com/AdColony/AdColony-Android-SDK/blob/master/Library/adcolony.jar

I don't have an app id and zone id so cannot fully test it.

If you see OnRequestFilled in the logs then we can progress.

Thank you Erel
I have followed your instructions and will post the result below

B4X:

#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: B4A Example
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName: 1.0.0
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.

#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
    
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
    Private AdColony As JavaObject
    
    

End Sub

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
    
    
    Dim appid As String =     "app6e40d81b1cc84c4891"
    Dim zoneid As String =     "vz6c2d7e01d0f849cf9e"
    
    Dim Button1 As Button
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    'Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
    Log("start")
    Activity.Color=Colors.Red
    
    AdColony.InitializeStatic("com.adcolony.sdk.AdColony")
    Dim ctxt As JavaObject
    ctxt.InitializeContext
    AdColony.RunMethod("configure", Array(ctxt, appid, Array As String(zoneid))) '<----------
    
    Button1.Initialize("Button1")
    Activity.AddView(Button1,10%x,50%y,80%x,12%y)
    


End Sub

Sub Button1_Click
    RequestInterstitial
End Sub

Sub RequestInterstitial
    Dim listener As JavaObject
    listener.InitializeNewInstance(Application.PackageName & ".main$MyAdColonyInterstitialListener", Null)
    AdColony.RunMethod("requestInterstitial", Array(zoneid, listener)) '<----------
End Sub



Sub AdColony_OnRequestFilled (Ad As Object)
    Log("OnRequestFilled")
    Log(Ad)
    
End Sub




Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub



Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub


#if Java
import com.adcolony.sdk.*;
public static class MyAdColonyInterstitialListener extends AdColonyInterstitialListener {
    public void onRequestFilled(AdColonyInterstitial ad) {
        main.processBA.raiseEventFromUI(null, "adcolony_onrequestfilled", ad);
    }
}
#End If

"Adcolony" ads are set to test so we have to see the ads display. But the error is returned in Logs.

Question 1: What's the problem?
Question 2: How the advertising display method is implemented

Thank you

it seems that it loaded an ad. now you need to call the routine to display it.

You can try this untested Code (note i´m not so good in JavaObject!)

B4X:

Sub AdColony_OnRequestFilled (Ad As Object)
    Log("OnRequestFilled")
    Log(Ad)
    dim addColony As JavaObject = Ad
    addColony.RunMethod("show", Array()))

End Sub

Erel · Jan 30, 2020

You can pass Null if there are no parameters:

B4X:

 dim adColony As JavaObject = Ad
    adColony.RunMethod("show", Null)

Thank you @DonManfred

Fullscreen ads displayed
thank you

?

Thank you @Erel
The ads were displayed well.

How can other methods of this library be used?
For example, show banner ads and video ad Or get click methods

Erel · Jan 31, 2020

Untested code:

B4X:

Sub RequestAdView
   Dim size As JavaObject
   size = size.InitializeStatic("com.adcolony.sdk.AdColonyAdSize").GetField("BANNER") '320dip x 50dip
    Dim listener As JavaObject
    listener.InitializeNewInstance(Application.PackageName & ".main$MyAdColonyAdViewListener", Null)
    AdColony.RunMethod("requestAdView", Array(zoneid, listener, size)) '<----------
End Sub

Sub AdColony_AdView_OnRequestFilled (Ad As Object)
 
    Log("AdColony_AdView_OnRequestFilled ")
    Log(Ad)
    Dim v As View = ad
    Activity.AddView(v, 0, 0, 320dip, 50dip)
End Sub


#if Java
import com.adcolony.sdk.*;
public static class MyAdColonyAdViewListener extends AdColonyAdViewListener{
public void onRequestFilled(AdColonyAdView adview) {
main.processBA.raiseEventFromUI(null, "adcolony_adview_onrequestfilled", adview);
}
}
#End If

Erel · Jan 31, 2020

The code is not too complicated. You should be able to add other events yourself.

For example:

B4X:

#if Java
import com.adcolony.sdk.*;
public static class MyAdColonyAdViewListener extends AdColonyAdViewListener{
public void onRequestFilled(AdColonyAdView adview) {
main.processBA.raiseEventFromUI(null, "adcolony_adview_onrequestfilled", adview);
}
public void onClicked(AdColonyAdView adview) {
main.processBA.raiseEventFromUI(null, "adcolony_adview_onclicked", adview);
}

}
#End If

}

Hi @Erel
Thank you for your response
The codes are not working properly!
I want to provide a complete resource with all classes and methods for this ad service to make it a library
What resources should I use to know the methods and classes of this library?
Thank you
