Build the Android SDK from source

This page has instructions for including the source code of our Android SDK in your project and building it.

To install using Maven or to download a JAR, see Integrate the SDK.

Step 1. Clone the repo

Run this command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/appnexus/mobile-sdk-android.git

The cloned directory will look something like:

├── examples
│   └── SimpleBanner   // Simple example app
├── mediation
│   ├── mediatedviews  // Mediation adaptors, one per network
│   └── mediating      // Support for other networks mediating our SDK
├── sdk                // SDK sources

Note

The SDK and each of the mediation adaptors are standalone libraries.

Step 2. Add the source to your project

Click File > New > Import Module (or your IDE's equivalent) and enter the location of the SDK sources you just cloned. Make sure the sources are actually copied into your project so you can edit the code.

Step 3. Configure build settings

Include the SDK at the top of your settings.gradle file:

include ':app', ':sdk'

Add a new line in the dependencies block of your app's build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    compile project(":sdk")
}

At this point you should be able to build your app with the SDK included as a library.
