# HouseAds
A simple Android library (currently in early stage) to cross promote your apps, sites!

Currently includes a Dialog, Interstitial & a Customizable Native Ad fetched from a json stored on a site/server.


The library internals in the `dev` branch have been refactored to use `Coroutines` for background tasks & `Coil` for image processing.

Check out the Sample from Google Play -

Get it on Google Play

Primary Goal:

To keep it Simple & including Ads support like AdMob's Ad (Native, Interstitial, Dialog)

No!, No Banners!

## Add Library to Project
Adding HouseAds in your App -
#### Gradle
```gradle
dependencies {
implementation 'com.lazygeniouz:houseAds:1.6'
}
```

#### Maven
```maven

com.lazygeniouz
houseAds
1.6
pom

```

## Json Array Schema
Json Array Schema that you'll have to put on a server:
```json
{
"apps":

[{
"app_title": "App Name (Dialog)",
"app_desc": "Your App's description",
"app_icon": "https:// URL to Icon",
"app_header_image": "https:// URL to Header Image",
"app_uri": "http:// URL or Package Name - com.package.name",
"app_rating": "4.5",
"app_cta_text": "Install",
"app_price": "Free",
"app_adType": "dialog"
},

{
"app_interstitial_url": "IMAGE URL",
"app_uri": "http:// URL or Package Name - com.package.name",
"app_adType": "interstitial"
},

{
"app_title": "App Name 3 (Native Ad)",
"app_desc": "Your App's Description",
"app_icon": "https:// URL to Icon",
"app_header_image": "https:// URL to Header Image",
"app_uri": "http:// URL or Package Name - com.package.name",
"app_rating": "4.5",
"app_cta_text": "Install",
"app_price": "Free",
"app_adType": "native"
}]
}
```


Some of the Assets like App Title, App Description, Icons & call to Action Text & Package Name are necessary!
## HouseAdsDialog
HouseAdsDialog is a Beautifully Styled Dialog which shows your Ad Assets like Header Image, App Icon, App Title & Description, Call to Action Button, Star Ratings & Price of the App.

The library internally uses `Palette API` to color the CTA Button by fetching the `Dominant Color` from Icon or Header Bitmap, whichever available.


Following is an example of HouseAdsDialog -
```java
HouseAdsDialog houseAds = new HouseAdsDialog(MainActivity.this, adUrl); //Context & URL to Json File.
houseAds.hideIfAppInstalled(true); //An App's Ad won't be shown if it is Installed on the Device.
houseAds.setCardCorners(100); // Set CardView's corner radius.
houseAds.setCtaCorner(100); //Set CTA Button's background radius.
houseAds.setForceLoadFresh(false); //Fetch Json everytime loadAds() is called, true by default, if set to false, Json File's Response is kept untill App is closed!
houseAds.showHeaderIfAvailable(false); //Show Header Image if available, true by default
houseAds.loadAds();
```


You can check if the Ad is loaded via -
```java
houseAds.isAdLoaded();
//returns true if loaded, false otherwise!
```


You can also add a Listener to HouseAdsDialog,
```java
houseAds.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
@Override
public void onAdLoadFailed() {}

@Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
//Show AdDialog as soon as it is loaded.
houseAds.showAd();
}

@Override
public void onAdClosed() {}

@Override
public void onAdShown() {}

@Override
public void onApplicationLeft() {}
});
```

**
NOTE: You cannot Customize the Dialog except for the CardView's Corner Radius & CTA Button's Background Radius!**

Use `HouseAdsNative` instead :)

## HouseAdsInterstitial
HouseAds also supports Interstitial Ad support just like AdMob has one!

HouseAdsInterstitial shows an Image fetched from your Json & navigates the User to Google Play if you specified a Package Name or the Website otherwise.


Following is an example of HouseAdsInterstitial -
```java
final HouseAdsInterstitial interstitial = new HouseAdsInterstitial(MainActivity.this, adUrl);
interstitial.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
@Override
public void onAdLoadFailed() {}

@Override
public void onAdLoaded() {}

@Override
public void onAdClosed() {}

@Override
public void onAdShown() {}

@Override
public void onApplicationLeft() {}
});
interstitial.loadAd();
```

Just like the HouseAdsDialog, you can check if the Interstitial is Loaded in the same way - `interstitial.isAdLoaded();`

And show Interstitial like - `interstitial.show();`

## HouseAdsNative
HouseAdsNative is the type of Ad where you can pass your own views which includes Ad Assets just like AdMob's `NativeAdvancedUnified`.

The `setNativeAdView()` method in `HouseAdsNative` accepts two types of object to specify your View containing Ad Assets.
* HouseAdsNativeAdView Object,
* View Object containing Ad Assets.

#### HouseAdsNativeView
If you use a `HouseAdsNativeView`, you'll need to pass the ids of the Assets (Icon, Call to Action View, Header Image etc) in a `HouseAdsNativeView` in their respective setter methods
and then set that object to the HouseAdsNative's `setNativeView()` .

Following is an example of `HouseAdsNativeView` -
```java
final Relativelayout adLayout = findViewById(R.id.adLayout); //Ad Assets inside a ViewGroup
adlayout.setVisibility(View.GONE):
```
```java
HouseAdsNativeView nativeView = new HouseAdsNativeView();
nativeView.setTitleView((TextView) findViewById(R.id.appinstall_headline));
nativeView.setDescriptionView((TextView) findViewById(R.id.appinstall_body));
nativeView.setIconView((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.appinstall_app_icon));
nativeView.setHeaderImageView((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.large));
nativeView.setCallToActionView(findViewById(R.id.appinstall_call_to_action));
nativeView.setPriceView((TextView) findViewById(R.id.price));
nativeView.setRatingsView((RatingBar) findViewById(R.id.rating));
```

### Passing a View object in HouseAdsNative
You can also pass a View in the `setNativeAdView()`, however there are some rules you'll need to follow!

You'll need to use the same `IDs` for your Ad Assets mentioned below -


Ad Assets
IDs


Header Image
houseAds_header_image


App Icon
houseAds_app_icon


Title
houseAds_title


Description
houseAds_description


Price
houseAds_price


RatingBar
houseAds_rating

#### Loading HouseAdsNative
```java
HouseAdsNative houseAdsNative = new HouseAdsNative(NativeAdActivity.this, adUrl);
houseAdsNative.setNativeAdView(nativeView); //HouseAdsNativeView Object
houseAdsNative.setNativeNativeView(adLayout); //View Object
houseAdsNative.setNativeAdListener(new NativeAdListener() {
@Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
adLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}

@Override
public void onAdLoadFailed() {
Toast.makeText(NativeAdActivity.this, "Failed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
houseAdsNative.loadAds();
```

Check if NativeAd is loaded - `houseAdsNative.isAdLoaded();`

Additionally, you can define your own 'Call to Action' Button's action by using a `CallToActionListener`, for e.g.
```java
houseAdsNative.setCallToActionListener(new NativeAdListener.CallToActionListener() {
@Override
public void onCallToActionClicked(View view) {
//Do your Stuff!
}
});
```

**Note: If you don't implement the CTAListener, default implementation is used which navigates the user to PlayStore or Website depending on the passed argument to the "app_uri" object in json, when clicked.**
