Dynamic Island Notch Source Code for Android with Admob Ads & FB Mediation Setup ( Android 11 )

Introduction to Dynamic Island Notch on Android 11

If you're familiar with Android 11's new notched display, you may have noticed that many stock apps and third-party ones alike have taken advantage of this feature. The so-called "Dynamic Island Notch" refers to a way to implement a mobile UI element that appears near the top of the screen, taking advantage of the display's notched or punched-hole design. By integrating this concept into your own Android app, you can create a more intuitive and visually appealing user interface that adapts to various devices and screen sizes. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through how to use the Dynamic Island Notch Source Code with Admob Ads and FB Mediation Setup on Android 11.

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial, make sure you have:

1. Android Studio installed
2. Java or Kotlin programming language proficiency
3. Familiarity with Android development concepts
4. A physical device with Android 11 or emulator

Downloading the Dynamic Island Notch Source Code

To begin, visit the official GitHub repository hosting the Dynamic Island Notch source code. Clone or download the repository to obtain the necessary files.

• https://github.com/madhavanandhan/DynamicIslandNotchAndroid11

Extract the compressed file to a directory of your choice. This folder contains the project's assets, layouts, and other files.

Setting up Android Studio and Creating a New Project

1. Launch Android Studio and choose "Start a new Android Studio project".
2. In the project template list, select "Empty Activity" and name your project.
3. Set up your project settings:
   • Language: Java (or Kotlin)
   • Package name: com.yourcompany.yourprojectname
   • Build Type: Debug
4. Click "Finish" to create your new project.

Adding the Source Code to Your Project

1. Create a new directory within your project (e.g., app -> DynamicIslandNotch)
2. Copy all files from the extracted GitHub repository into the new directory.

Integrating Admob Ads with Facebook Mediation

Before we continue, ensure you have:

• An Admob account
• Your Admob Ad Unit IDs (banner, interstitial, rewarded)

To use Facebook Mediation, add the Facebook Android SDK by downloading the AAR (Android Archive) file.

• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/audience-network/android
• Upload the AAR file to your project directory.

Open the build.gradle file and add the required dependencies:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:20.3.0'
    implementation 'com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:5.12.0'
    implementation 'com.facebook.ads.sdk:facebook-android-sdk:7.4.1'
}

Adding Admob Ads to your Dynamic Island Notch Activity

1. In your project directory (app -> src -> main -> java), add a new Java class. For example, AdsManager.java:

   • Create a new constructor and initialize the Ad View components:

     private AdView mAdView;
     private InterstitialAd interstitialAd;
     
     public AdsManager(Context context, ViewGroup parentView) {
      mAdView = new AdView(context);
      mAdView.setAdSize(AdSize.FULL_BANNER);
      mAdView.setAdUnitId("YOUR_AD_UNIT_ID");
     
      ViewGroup parent = parentView; // Parent View
      parent.addView(mAdView);
     }

2. Initialize your Admob Ad Units using Admob's AdvertisingIdClient class and request ads when your application starts:

   private void initiateAds() {
       RequestConfiguration requestConfiguration = RequestConfiguration.newBuilder().build();
   
       AdvertisingIdClient.getRequestConfiguration(context).applyUpdatesTo(requestConfiguration);
   
       MobileAds.initialize(context, () -> {
           // Banner ad
           AdLoader adLoader = new AdLoader.Builder(context, YOUR_AD_UNIT_ID)
              .forUnifiedNativeAd(new UnifiedNativeAd.LoadErrorCallback() {
               //...
           }).withAdListener(new AdListener() {
               //...
           }).build();
   
           interstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(context);
           interstitialAd.setAdUnitId(YOUR_INTERSTITIAL_AD_UNIT_ID);
       });
   }

3. In your AdsManager constructor, initialize ads by calling the initiateAds method and update the AdsManager instance.

Customizing the Appearance of your Dynamic Island Notch

The Dynamic Island Notch layout is controlled by several attributes and styling options available within the provided source code. Explore the XML layout files (dynamic_island_notch.xml and ads_fragment.xml) and adjust as needed for your desired UI design and colors.

That's the basic setup of the Dynamic Island Notch on Android 11, integrated with Admob Ads and FB Mediation! In our next steps, we will create a dynamic island-like behavior for the notched screen area.
