Version 3.2.2 (October 29, 2014)

  • Bug Fix Fixes a bug in fetching the Google Advertising ID from Google Play Services.

Version 3.2.1 (October 21, 2014)

  • Bug Fix Fixes a bug in processing certain HTTP headers for Native Ads.

Version 3.2.0 (October 17, 2014)

Version 3.1.0 (October 9, 2014)

  • Updated Facebook SDK Compatibility to 3.18.1 Provided Custom Events for Facebook Banners, Interstitials and Native Ads (included in the extras/ folder) are now compatible with the latest SDK release from Facebook (3.18.1).
  • Updated API for Native Ads Custom Event writers If you are mediating Facebook or InMobi native ads, this change requires you to copy FacebookNative.java and InMobiNative.java custom events from the extras/ folder to com.mopub.nativeads package for compatibility.

Version 3.0.0 (September 30, 2014)

  • Location Settings are now SDK-wide
    • Calls to MoPubView#setLocationAwareness and MoPubInterstial#setLocationAwareness are deprecated in favor of MoPub#setLocationAwareness
    • Calls to MoPubView#setLocationPrecision and MoPubInterstitial#setLocationPrecision are deprecated in favor of MoPub#setLocationPrecision
    • Calls to any of these methods have the effect of setting location awareness and precision globally for the SDK
  • Build target SDK is now API Level 19. If you are building the MoPub SDK from source, modify your dependencies to reference Android 4.4.2, API Level 19. This does not affect the minimum device API level, which remains at API Level 9.
  • Source-level support for Gradle projects. The SDK source now includes a build.gradle file you can use to build source as part of your Gradle project.
  • The SDK now uses Play Services 5.0.89
  • Bug fixes:
    • Millennial Interstitial caching now properly handles request failures
    • Fixed bug preventing native ads from loading after a request failure

Version 2.4.0 (August 28, 2014)

  • Minimum Android version now at API Level 9. To use the new SDK, your app must run on Android 2.3.1 (Version 9, Gingerbread) or higher.
  • Simplified APIs for inserting native ads. See Native Ads Integration for details.
  • Automatic ad caching for smooth scrolling. For native ads, the SDK will now automatically pre-load ads, resulting in smoother scrolling.
  • Performance improvements The SDK now makes more efficient use of memory for image caching and avoids allocating temporary objects while scrolling, resulting in fewer garbage collections.
  • Sample app improvements. An improved sample app allows saving ad unit IDs for testing.
  • Bug fixes:
    • Banner auto-refresh is now properly re-enabled when resuming your app.

Version 2.3 (July 17, 2014)

  • Improved impression tracking for Native Ads Impression tracking for native ads is now more accurate and more efficient.
  • Streamlined Maven Build and Dependencies MoPub's Android SDK now depends on the Android v4 Support Library shipped with the Android Build tools. The MoPub Sample App also depends on Google Play Services to use the Android Advertising ID. We recommend building against Play Services in your app as well. For integration instructions, see the wiki.
  • Removed AdMob Custom Events and JAR AdMob's SDK is deprecated by Google and the APIs have been moved to Google Play Services. Existing AdMob adunits will now invoke the appropriate Google Play Services custom event. Developers must update their integration to use the Google Play Services custom events located in the extras folder by August 1.
  • Updated Third-Party Network Compatibility MoPub's provided Custom Events (included in the extras/ folder) are now compatible with the latest SDK releases from Millennial Media (5.3.0), Vungle (3.1.0), InMobi (4.4.1) and Google Play Services (5.0.77).
  • Fixed intermittent NullPointerException in MoPubNative#requestNativeAd; fixes [Github issue #97] (https://github.com/mopub/mopub-android-sdk/issues/97)
  • Fixed an issue where MRAID interstitials could be not be closed.

Version 2.2 (June 19, 2014)

  • Native ads mediation release; integration instructions and documentation are available on the GitHub wiki. Added custom event native implementations to the native extras directory of the SDK (/extras/src/com/mopub/nativeads), with initial support for the following networks:
    • Facebook Audience Network (FacebookNative.java)
    • InMobi Native Ads (InMobiNative.java)
  • Native ads content filtering: Added the ability to specify which native ad elements you want to receive from the MoPub Marketplace to optimize bandwidth use and download only required assets, via RequestParameters.Builder#desiredAssets(…). This feature only works for the six standard Marketplace assets, found in RequestParameters.NativeAdAsset. Any additional elements added in direct sold ads will always be sent down in the extras.
  • Added star rating information to the NativeResponse object, via NativeResponse#getStarRating(). This method returns a Double corresponding to an app's rating on a 5-star scale.
  • VAST video quartile and completion trackers now always include the user-agent
  • Ensured that banners never autorefresh until they have been loaded at least once

Version 2.1 (May 15, 2014)

  • Added custom events for Facebook ads. FacebookBanner and FacebookInterstitial can be found in the extras directory of the SDK (/extras/src/com/mopub/mobileads). For more information, please see the help page for Facebook custom events.

    • Important Note: This change requires a modification to the AndroidManifest. The updated set of requisite activity permissions are as follows:

    ```
  • Upgraded the bundled android-support-v4 library to r19.1.
    • Note for Maven users: Newer versions of the android-support-v4 artifact are unavailable on Maven central, so we have included a small script to update the version in your local artifact repository. Please navigate to the mopub-sdk directory, and run scripts/mavenize_support_library.
