Migration Guide

The following document describes how to migrate to AMP Android SDK 6.119

 

Introduction

The Android AMP SDK has introduced some API breaking changes. The most important difference is that all classes are now under the com.akamai.amp package. Most plugin classes have been renamed, adding the Amp prefix to their name.

The best approach to migrate to the latest version is:

  1. Replace the old .jars with the ones from this version
  2. Remove old imports
  3. Add the imports Android Studio is suggesting
  4. If there are still some compilation errors, you might need to change something from the table in the Summary of changes section

In case of doublt, you can refer to the samples included in the release package. If there are further questions, you can also reach out to us via amp-sdk-support@akamai.com

For the ad providing components, further explanation is shown in the following sections.

 

IMA

The IMAManager has been split into two: AmpIMAManager is now used to implement client side ads and AmpDAIManager implements server side ads.

  • imaManager.setAdsOrigin(CLIENT_SIDE/SERVER_SIDE) has been removed from the API. This differentiation is now made through the instantiation methods.

  • Instead of using the new operator to create instances, it is now required to use the following builder methods:

    • To create the AmpIMAManager: 
        IMA.create(Context context);
    • To create the AmpDAIManager: 
        DAI.create(Context context);
  DAI.create(Context context, String fallbackURL);
  • The disableAdsCountdown flag is no longer an input parameter of the class constructor (or the new builder methods). Now, this flag can be set using the following methods: 
     ampIMAManager.enableAdsCountDown();
 ampIMAManager.disableAdsCountDown();

The ads countdown is enabled by default.

  • The AmpIMAManager does not implement the IAutoRecoveryCallback which is used to get from other components like Yospace when an autorecovery event has occurred. Now, there is a new method who provides said callback.

    • Old implementation: 
        yospace.setAutoRecoveryTriggeredCallback(imaManager);
    • New implementation: 
        yospace.setAutoRecoveryTriggeredCallback(imaManager.getAutoRecoveryCallback());

  • The method getAdsManager() is now called getManager(), and it returns an object type BaseManager, which it can be casted to a StreamManager (for DAI) or an AdManager (for Client side Ads).

 

Yospace

  • The YospaceComponent has been renamed, it is now called AmpYospaceManager.
  • Instead of using the new operator to create instances, it is now required to use the following builder methods: Yospace.create(Activity activity, String url);

  • The AmpYospaceManager does not implement the IConnectionSwitchCallback which is used to monitor when the playback has been interrupted due to connectivity problems. Now, there is a new method who provides said callback.

    • Old implementation: 
        mVideoPlayerContainer.enableAutoRecovery(yospaceComponent);
    • New implemetentation: 
        mVideoPlayerContainer.enableAutoRecovery(yospace.getConnectionSwitchCallback());

 

Freewheel

  • The FWAdComponent has been renamed, it is now called AmpFreewheelManager.

  • Instead of using the new operator to create instances, it is now required to use the following builder methods:

      Freewheel.create(Context context, int networkId, String adsURL, String siteSectionId, String videoAssetId, String profile);
  Freewheel.create(Context context);
  • The Manager is no longer implementing the UIEventListener which is used to monitor events from the UI controller. Now, there is a new method who provides said listener. 
    ampFreewheelManager.getUIEventsListener();
  • The Manager in itself it no longer implementing the BidderCallback which it is used to capture Ad header bidding. Now, there is a new method who provides said callback. 
    ampFreewheelManager.getBidderCallback();
