Meta Radio – Two Station Radio App | ADMOB, FIREBASE, ONESIGNAL

Here's a complete tutorial on how to use the Meta Radio - Two Station Radio App, which incorporates AdMob, Firebase, and OneSignal.

Introduction:

The Meta Radio App is a cutting-edge audio streaming app that allows users to listen to their favorite radio stations and podcasts while also generating revenue through mobile advertising. With AdMob, Firebase, and OneSignal integration, the app provides a robust platform for monetization, analytics tracking, and user engagement management. In this tutorial, we'll explore how to set up and use each of these services within the Meta Radio App.

Prerequisites:

1. Familiarity with Android Studio or your preferred IDE.
2. An AdMob account and the AdMob Android SDK (version 19.8.0 or later).
3. A Firebase project and the Firebase Android SDK (version 20.0.0 or later).
4. A OneSignal account and the OneSignal Android SDK (version 3.14.0 or later).
5. Basic understanding of Kotlin programming language and Android App development.

Setting Up AdMob:

Before we begin, let's set up AdMob on your AdMob account and in your app.

Step 1: Create AdMob account:

• If you don't have an AdMob account, sign up at https://google.com/admob/.
• Fill out the registration form and agree to the AdMob terms of service.
• Verify your account using the verification link sent to your email.

Step 2: Create AdUnit:

• Log in to your AdMob account, and navigate to the dashboard.
• Click on "Create AdUnit" in the left-hand menu, and choose the type of ad you want to show (e.g., rewarded video, banner).
• Fill in the required details, such as ad ID, ad type, and targeting options.

Step 3: Set up AdMob Android SDK:

• In your app, navigate to the Gradle settings (build.gradle).
• Add the following dependency for AdMob SDK:

dependencies { implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:19.8.0' }

• Synchronize the project.

Integrating AdMob:

Let's integrate AdMob within the Meta Radio App:

// Create the AdView and add it to the layout
private lateinit var adView: AdView

// Load ads
adView = AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, AdMobAdapterId)
adView.setAdListener(this)
mainLayout.addView(adView, mainLayout.width - 4, 50)

// Load the ad
mobileAds.initialize(this, objects = arrayOf(MetaRadioAppCompatActivity::class))
adRequest = AdRequest.Builder().build()
adView.loadAd(adRequest)

Integrating Firebase:

Before integrating Firebase, we'll need to create a Firebase project and set up the SDK.

Step 1: Create Firebase project:

• If you don't have a Firebase project, sign up at https://console.firebase.google.com/.
• Fill out the registration form and agree to the Firebase terms of service.
• Create a new Firebase project.

Step 2: Set up Firebase Android SDK:

• In your app, navigate to the Gradle settings (build.gradle).
• Add the following dependency for Firebase SDK:

dependencies { implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:22.2.3' implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:19.0.2' }

• Synchronize the project.

Integrating OneSignal:

Before integrating OneSignal, we'll need to create a OneSignal account and set up the SDK.

Step 1: Create OneSignal account:

• If you don't have a OneSignal account, sign up at https://onesignal.com/.
• Fill out the registration form and agree to the OneSignal terms of service.

Step 2: Set up OneSignal Android SDK:

• In your app, navigate to the Gradle settings (build.gradle).
• Add the following dependency for OneSignal SDK:

dependencies { implementation 'com.onesignal:OneSignal:3.14.0' }

• Synchronize the project.

Let's integrate OneSignal:

// Initialize OneSignal
private lateinit var oneSignal = OneSignal.initContext(MyApplication(this))
oneSignal.setExternalUserId(MetaRadioAppCompatActivity.userId())

// Show OneSignal initialization message
override fun onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy()
    oneSignal.resetId();
}

// Cancel OneSignal
override fun onStop() {
    super.onStop()
    oneSignal.resetId();
}

// Start OneSignal messages
override fun onStart() {
    super.onStart()
    oneSignal.setIsInForeground()
}

Additional Features and Customization:

Within the Meta Radio App, you can also integrate various features and customization options such as:

1. Multiple radio station management.
2. Playlist creation and organization.
3. Audio metadata management.
4. Dynamic ad scheduling and targeting options.
5. Personalization and analytics integration.

Each of these features will have its own specific requirements for implementation and integration.

That's it for this comprehensive tutorial on setting up the Meta Radio - Two Station Radio App, which integrates AdMob, Firebase, and OneSignal. The Meta Radio App is designed to provide an engaging, user-friendly audio streaming experience while generating revenue through various monetization options. I hope this tutorial has given you a solid foundation to build upon, and that you can further customize the app to meet your needs.
