KIDOZ Unity SDK Sample App

KIDOZ Android SDK Version: 0.8.5.5 KIDOZ iOS SDK Version: 1.2.5

Here you can get the Kidoz Unity plugin and a sample app for Unity. See integration instructions and additional information bellow.

Note: Since version 0.8.0.3 it’s possible to use both Interstitial and Rewarded Video in your app.

Note: Unity 5.6 & Unity 5.6.1 contain changes to their drawing design blocking some view methods from working effectively. At the moment, on these versions please only use our Interstitial & Rewarded ad units. Starting from Unity 5.6.2 all of our widgets work as expected.

Due to new regulation by Google Play Design for Family policy , all references to YouTube were removed from the SDK.

KIDOZ SDK - Getting Started

  1. Import the KidozSDK Unity package. Assets --> Import Package --> Custom Package --> select the extracted KidozSDK package.
  2. In the import window select all components. A new Prefabs object named KidozObject will appear in the Assets folder.

  5. Select the KidozObject and enter your Publisher ID and Security Token
  6. If you’re having issues with the ‘KidozObject’ you can open the SampleScene by double clicking it instead.

Note: When compiling for iOS please add the following frameworks: libsqlite3.tbd, webkit.framework

Using the SDK

  1. Select your relevant script file.
  2. Add using KidozSDK; in the using section of your code.
  3. Create two listeners with the following signature
    void functionName(String)
    One for Feed open and one for Feed close.
  4. Connect the two listeners function you created to Kidoz.viewOpened and to Kidoz.viewClosed
  5. Create two listeners with the following signature
    void functionName(string) for movie open and movie close
  6. Connect the above listeners to Kidoz.playerOpen and Kidoz.playerClose

General Events

The following general events are important if you wish to follow the SDK’s initialization state: Kidoz.initSuccess += onKidozInitSuccess; Kidoz.initError += onKidozInitError;

KIDOZ Banner (Android)

To load a banner ad:

Kidoz.loadBanner (<AUTO_SHOW>, <BANNER_POSITION>);
AUTO_SHOW - Should banner be shown as soon as it finishes loading

The banner can be placed on one of six sides of the activity screen with BANNER_POSITION - TOP_CENTER, BOTTOM_CENTER ,TOP_LEFT ,TOP_RIGHT ,BOTTOM_LEFT ,BOTTOM_RIGHT.

To show a non-autoShow banner:

Kidoz.showBanner ();

To hide a visible banner:

Kidoz.hideBanner ();

To change banner position:

Kidoz.setBannerPosition(<BANNER_POSITION>);

Delegate callbacks:

Kidoz.bannerReady += <bannerReady Callback>;
Kidoz.bannerClose += <bannerClose Callback>;
Kidoz.bannerError += <bannerError Callback>;

KIDOZ Panel (Android)

PanelView is a customized special view that can slide in/out of the screen (both in horizontal and vertical layout) with minimal interference to user experience. The PanelView can be placed on one of four sides of the activity screen - PANEL_TYPE.TOP,PANEL_TYPE.BOTTOM,PANEL_TYPE.RIGHT,PANEL_TYPE.LEFT
The PanelView can be controlled via a special Handle button that can be located in any of the 3 following positions -
HANDLE_POSITION.START,HANDLE_POSITION.CENTER,HANDLE_POSITION.END depending on the PanelView initial screen location.

to activate the panel use the following function: Kidoz.addPanelToView (Panel_type, Handle_Position); <\br> You can also expand the panel programmatically by using the following function: Kidoz.expandPanelView() and collapse the panel by using the following function <\br> ``Kidoz.collapsePanelView()``` <\br>

KIDOZ Interstitial / Rewarded View (Android and iOS)

KidozInterstitial is a full screen single ad unit which can be used as simple interstitial or rewared mode.

You can activate the interstitial widget by first calling the load function Kidoz.loadInterstitialAd(false);

To request rewarded ad call this function Kidoz.loadRewardedAd(false);

The second stage after the ad was loaded (using the Kidoz.interstitialReady/rewardedReady callback you can call Kidoz.showInterstitial(); or Kidoz.showRewarded();

It is possible to test if the ad was loaded using the following function: Kidoz.getIsInterstitialLoaded() or Kidoz.getIsRewardedLoaded()

all listeners are of type: private void listenerName(string value) Kidoz.bannerReady += bannerReady;

Kidoz.interstitialOpen += listenerName;
	
Kidoz.interstitialClose += listenerName;
	
Kidoz.interstitialReady += listenerName;

Kidoz.interstitialOnLoadFail += interstitialOnLoadFail;

Kidoz.interstitialOnNoOffers += interstitialOnNoOffers;

Kidoz.onRewardedDone += onRewardedDone; 
	
Kidoz.onRewardedVideoStarted += onRewardedVideoStarted;
	
Kidoz.rewardedOpen += rewardedOpen;

Kidoz.rewardedClose += rewardedClose;

Kidoz.rewardedReady += rewardedReady;

Kidoz.rewardedOnLoadFail += rewardedOnLoadFail;

Kidoz.rewardedOnNoOffers += rewardedOnNoOffers;

Kidoz iOS Interstitial best practices

  • The preferred timing to show Interstitial Ads : Before the game ends, between game levels, after completing a game level .
  • Some Interstitial Ads may contain video with sound. In order to maximise user experience, it is important to mute or pause game background sounds and pause the game while the Interstitial is displayed. This can be achieved by using interstitialOpen and interstitialClose callbacks:
Kidoz.interstitialOpen += interstitialOpen;	
Kidoz.interstitialClose += interstitialClose;

private void interstitialOpen(string  value)  {
// mute/pause background sounds
// pause your game 
}

private void interstitialClose(string  value)
// unmute/resume background sounds
// resume your game 
}

Kidoz iOS Rewarded best practices

  • The preferred timing to show Rewarded Ads : Based on the implementation of rewarded logics in your game .
  • Some Rewarded Ads may contain video with sound. In order to maximise user experience, it is important to mute or pause game background sounds and pause the game flow while the Rewarded is displayed. This can be achieved by using rewardedOpen and rewardedClose callbacks:
Kidoz.rewardedOpen += rewardedOpen;  
Kidoz.rewardedClose += rewardedClose;


-(void)rewardedOpen {
//mute/pause background sounds
//pause your game 
}

-(void)rewardedClose {
//unmute/resume background sounds
//resume your game 
}
