Feed Placement Test Configuration

Use this configuration to test content recommendation widgets:

Parameter	Value	Description
Article URL	https://test-demo.outbrain.com	Test article URL for content recommendations
Widget ID	MB_1, MB_2, TEST_FEED	Test widget identifiers
Installation Key	NANOWDGT01, TESTKEY01	Test installation keys
User ID	null	Optional user identifier
Dark Mode	true	Enable dark mode for testing

Usage Example

Kotlin

val config = TeadsAdPlacementFeedConfig(
    articleUrl = Uri.parse("https://test-demo.outbrain.com"),
    widgetId = "MB_1",
    installationKey = "NANOWDGT01",
    widgetIndex = 0,
    userId = null,
    darkMode = true,
    testDisplay = false,
    extId = null,
    extSecondaryId = null,
    obPubImpl = null
)

val feedPlacement = TeadsAdPlacementFeed(this, config, this) // context (this) MUST be an Activity
val feedView = feedPlacement.loadAd()

Java

TeadsAdPlacementFeedConfig config = new TeadsAdPlacementFeedConfig(
    Uri.parse("https://test-demo.outbrain.com"), // articleUrl
    "MB_1", // widgetId
    "NANOWDGT01", // installationKey
    0, // widgetIndex
    null, // userId
    true, // darkMode
    false, // testDisplay
    null, // extId
    null, // extSecondaryId
    null // obPubImpl
);

TeadsAdPlacementFeed feedPlacement = new TeadsAdPlacementFeed(this, config, this); // context (this) MUST be an Activity
FrameLayout feedView = feedPlacement.loadAd(); // real method is loadAd() — the Kotlin sample's .load() doesn't exist on TeadsAdPlacementFeed

Recommendations API Test Configuration

Use this configuration to test programmatic content recommendations:

Parameter	Value	Description
Article URL	https://test-demo.outbrain.com	Test article URL for content recommendations
Widget ID	SDK_1, RECS_1, TEST_RECS	Test recommendations identifiers
Installation Key	NANOWDGT01, TESTKEY01	Test installation keys
User ID	null	Optional user identifier
Dark Mode	true	Enable dark mode for testing

Usage Example

Kotlin

val config = TeadsAdPlacementRecommendationsConfig(
    Uri.parse("https://test-demo.outbrain.com"),
    "SDK_1" // Your unique Placement ID
)

val recommendationsPlacement = TeadsAdPlacementRecommendations(config, this)
recommendationsPlacement.loadAd().subscribe { recommendations ->
    // Handle the loaded recommendations
}

Java

TeadsAdPlacementRecommendationsConfig config = new TeadsAdPlacementRecommendationsConfig(
    Uri.parse("https://test-demo.outbrain.com"),
    "SDK_1" // Your unique Placement ID
);

// TeadsAdPlacementRecommendations has no Context parameter (unlike the other placements)
// and no .load() method — real API is .loadAd().subscribe(...)
TeadsAdPlacementRecommendations recommendationsPlacement = new TeadsAdPlacementRecommendations(config, this);
recommendationsPlacement.loadAd().subscribe(recommendations -> {
    // Handle the loaded recommendations
});

Interstitial Placement Test Configuration

Use this configuration to test interstitial fullscreen ads — it applies both to the direct integration and to AdMob / Google Ad Manager mediation:

Parameter	Value	Description
Article URL	https://mobile-demo.outbrain.com	Test article URL
Widget ID	INT_APP_1	Test widget identifier
Installation Key	NANOWDGT01	Test installation key

Usage Example - Direct Integration

Kotlin

val config = TeadsAdPlacementInterstitialConfig(
    articleUrl = "https://mobile-demo.outbrain.com",
    widgetId = "INT_APP_1",
    installationKey = "NANOWDGT01"
)

val interstitial = TeadsAdPlacementInterstitial(this, config, this) // this must be an Activity
interstitial.loadAd()

Java

TeadsAdPlacementInterstitialConfig config = new TeadsAdPlacementInterstitialConfig(
    "https://mobile-demo.outbrain.com", // articleUrl
    "INT_APP_1", // widgetId
    "NANOWDGT01" // installationKey
);

TeadsAdPlacementInterstitial interstitial = new TeadsAdPlacementInterstitial(this, config, this); // this must be an Activity
interstitial.loadAd();

Kotlin

MobileAds.initialize(context)

val adRequest = AdRequest.Builder().build()

InterstitialAd.load(
    context,
    "YOUR_AD_UNIT_ID", // Ad unit id obtained from Google mediation platform
    adRequest,
    object : InterstitialAdLoadCallback() {
        override fun onAdLoaded(ad: InterstitialAd) {
            // Ad loaded successfully
        }
        override fun onAdFailedToLoad(error: LoadAdError) {
            // Handle error
        }
    }
)

Java

MobileAds.initialize(context);

AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();

InterstitialAd.load(
    context,
    "YOUR_AD_UNIT_ID", // Ad unit id obtained from Google mediation platform
    adRequest,
    new InterstitialAdLoadCallback() {
        @Override
        public void onAdLoaded(InterstitialAd ad) {
            // Ad loaded successfully
        }
        @Override
        public void onAdFailedToLoad(LoadAdError error) {
            // Handle error
        }
    }
);

Parameter	Value	Description
Article URL	https://mobile-demo.outbrain.com/	Test article URL
Widget ID	MB_10	Test widget identifier
Installation Key	NANOWDGT01	Test installation key

Usage Example - Direct Integration

Kotlin

val config = TeadsAdPlacementBannerConfig(
    articleUrl = "https://mobile-demo.outbrain.com/".toUri(),
    widgetId = "MB_10",
    installationKey = "NANOWDGT01",
    widgetIndex = 0
)

val banner = TeadsAdPlacementBanner(this, config, this) // context (this) MUST be an Activity
findViewById<FrameLayout>(R.id.banner_container).addView(banner.loadAd())

TeadsAdPlacementBannerConfig config = new TeadsAdPlacementBannerConfig(
    Uri.parse("https://mobile-demo.outbrain.com/"), // articleUrl
    "MB_10", // widgetId
    "NANOWDGT01", // installationKey
    0 // widgetIndex
);

TeadsAdPlacementBanner banner = new TeadsAdPlacementBanner(this, config, this); // context (this) MUST be an Activity
((FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.banner_container)).addView(banner.loadAd());

Usage Example - AdMob / Google Ad Manager Mediation

Configure the following JSON as the custom event parameter on the Google mediation setup platform:
