Prerequisites

Before we dive into the tutorial, make sure you have the following:

• Android Studio installed on your computer
• A basic understanding of Java or Kotlin programming
• A physical device or emulator to test your app
• A Google AdMob account and a Publisher ID
• A affiliate network account and an Affiliate ID

Step 1: Creating a New Project in Android Studio

1. Open Android Studio and click on "Start a new Android Studio project".
2. Choose "Empty Activity" as the project template and click "Next".
3. Enter your project name, package name, and location, and click "Finish".

Step 2: Adding the GSM Android App News And Phone Specifications Code

1. In the project directory, create a new folder called "news_and_specs".
2. Inside the "news_and_specs" folder, create a new Java file called "NewsAndSpecs.java".
3. Copy the following code into the "NewsAndSpecs.java" file:

   
   package com.example.news_and_specs;

import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.widget.TextView;

public class NewsAndSpecs extends Activity { private TextView newsTextView; private TextView specsTextView;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_news_and_specs);

    newsTextView = findViewById(R.id.news_text_view);
    specsTextView = findViewById(R.id.specs_text_view);

    // Set the news and specs text
    newsTextView.setText("News: ");
    specsTextView.setText("Specs: ");
}

public void onNewsButtonClick(View view) {
    // Implement your news fetching logic here
}

public void onSpecsButtonClick(View view) {
    // Implement your specs fetching logic here
}

}

4. Create a new layout file called "activity_news_and_specs.xml" and add the following code:
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/news_text_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="24sp" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/news_button"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Get News" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/specs_text_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="24sp" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/specs_button"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Get Specs" />

</LinearLayout>

1. In the "NewsAndSpecs.java" file, add the following code to the "onCreate" method to set the buttons' click listeners:

   
   newsButton = findViewById(R.id.news_button);
   newsButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
   @Override
   public void onClick(View view) {
       onNewsButtonClick(view);
   }
   });

specsButton = findViewById(R.id.specs_button); specsButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { onSpecsButtonClick(view); } });

**Step 3: Integrating Affiliate Management**

1. Create a new folder called "affiliate" inside the "news_and_specs" folder.
2. Inside the "affiliate" folder, create a new Java file called "AffiliateManager.java".
3. Copy the following code into the "AffiliateManager.java" file:
```java
package com.example.news_and_specs.affiliate;

import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class AffiliateManager {
    private Context context;
    private AffiliateID affiliateID;

    public AffiliateManager(Context context, AffiliateID affiliateID) {
        this.context = context;
        this.affiliateID = affiliateID;
    }

    public void trackAffiliateClick(String affiliateLink) {
        // Implement your affiliate tracking logic here
    }
}

1. In the "NewsAndSpecs.java" file, create an instance of the "AffiliateManager" class and pass the context and affiliate ID:

   AffiliateManager affiliateManager = new AffiliateManager(this, affiliateID);

2. In the "onNewsButtonClick" and "onSpecsButtonClick" methods, call the "trackAffiliateClick" method to track the affiliate clicks:

   affiliateManager.trackAffiliateClick("https://example.com/affiliate/link");

   Step 4: Integrating AdMob

3. Create a new folder called "admob" inside the "news_and_specs" folder.
4. Inside the "admob" folder, create a new Java file called "AdMobManager.java".
5. Copy the following code into the "AdMobManager.java" file:

   
   package com.example.news_and_specs.admob;

import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle;

public class AdMobManager { private Activity activity; private PublisherID publisherID;

public AdMobManager(Activity activity, PublisherID publisherID) {
    this.activity = activity;
    this.publisherID = publisherID;
}

public void showAd() {
    // Implement your AdMob ad logic here
}

}

4. In the "NewsAndSpecs.java" file, create an instance of the "AdMobManager" class and pass the activity and publisher ID:
```java
AdMobManager adMobManager = new AdMobManager(this, publisherID);

1. Call the "showAd" method to display the AdMob ad:

   adMobManager.showAd();

   Step 5: Integrating the News and Specs Code

2. In the "NewsAndSpecs.java" file, add the following code to the "onCreate" method to fetch the news and specs:

   // Fetch news and specs logic here
   newsTextView.setText("News: " + newsData);
   specsTextView.setText("Specs: " + specsData);

3. Implement your news and specs fetching logic in the "onNewsButtonClick" and "onSpecsButtonClick" methods.

Step 6: Running the App

1. Build and run the app on your physical device or emulator.
2. Test the app by clicking on the news and specs buttons to fetch the data and display the AdMob ad.
