Configure Video Advertisements Source (Android)

If you're working with another partner who handles the setup and management of your video campaigns, Firework can support displaying those ads and configuring them as well. Our SDK will retrieve the ad videos from your partner and display them in the channel.

Example code snippet for Video Ads Feed and StoryBlock

Kotlin

        
val channelId = "Encoded channel id"
val vastXML = "Vast XML"

val viewOptionsForStoryBlock = viewOptions {
    baseOptions {
        feedResource(FeedResource.VideoADs(channelId, vastXML))
    }

    storyBlockOptions {
        showFullScreenIcon(true)
        enableAutoPlay(true)
    }

    playerOptions {
        showCaption(true)
        showPlayPauseButtonInVideo(true)
    }

    adBadgeOptions{
        adBadgeIsHidden(false)
    }
}

val storyBlock = findViewById<FwStoryBlockView> (R.id.storyblock)

storyBlock.init(
    fragmentManager = supportFragmentManager,
    lifecycle = lifecycle,
    viewOptions = viewOptions,
    pauseWhenNotVisible = true,
)

Java

BaseOption baseOption = new BaseOption.Builder()
    .feedResource(new FeedResource.VideoADs("Encoded channel id", "Vast XML"))
    .build();

LayoutOption layoutOption = new LayoutOption.Builder()
    .feedLayout(FeedLayout.HORIZONTAL)
    .build();

ViewOptions viewOptions = new ViewOptions.Builder()
    .baseOption(baseOption)
    .layoutOption(layoutOption)
    .build();
            
FwStoryBlockView storyBlock = findViewById<FwStoryBlockView>(R.id.storyBlock);

storyBlock.init(getSupportFragmentManager(),getLifecycle(),viewOptions, storyBlockContainer);
