Testing the Integration – Windows Phone 8 SDK

You can test the SDK integration by setting your integration to Test mode for certain devices.

To add Test Devices

The VMAX SDK allows you to set a number of devices as Test Devices by passing their AdvertisingID to the SDK. You can add test devices by using the TestDevice property which takes a list of id (string) as its parameters.

adView.TestDevice = new List<string>() { [your advertising id/ids here] };

1	adView.TestDevice = new List<string>() { [your advertising id/ids here] };

Each Device’s AdvertisingID can be fetched by using the following piece of code in your application.

// Place this snippet in a method and take the value returned by it and use it as device id.
try
{
 var value = (byte[])DeviceExtendedProperties.GetValue("DeviceUniqueId");
 return Convert.ToBase64String(value);
}
catch { return string.Empty; }

// Place this snippet in a method and take the value returned by it and use it as device id.

try

{

var value = (byte[])DeviceExtendedProperties.GetValue("DeviceUniqueId");

return Convert.ToBase64String(value);

}

catch { return string.Empty; }

Once you have this list of device ids, this is how you can enable test mode.
The sdk exposes an API by name SetTestDevices() with a couple of parameters as:
SetTestDevices(VMAXAdView.TestMode testMode, List<string> listOfStringsOfDeviceIDs)

VMAXAdView.TestMode: This parameter will allow you to set the test mode that you want to set. It can have any of these values.
TEST_VIA_ADVID: this mode will need the list of device ids that is the second parameter. Test mode will be enabled for only those devices.
TEST_FOR_ALL_DEVICES: This mode will not require the list in the second parameter. You can pass a null there. All the devices will show test ads if this mode has been selected.
TEST_VIA_ID_FROM_NETWORKS: Reserved for future use.

Using this api you can set the test mode for your list of devices as shown below.

adView.SetTestDevices(VMAXAdView.TestMode.TEST_FOR_ALL_DEVICES, null);
//or
adView.SetTestDevices(VMAXAdView.TestMode.TEST_VIA_ADVID, listDeviceIds);

adView.SetTestDevices(VMAXAdView.TestMode.TEST_FOR_ALL_DEVICES, null);

//or

adView.SetTestDevices(VMAXAdView.TestMode.TEST_VIA_ADVID, listDeviceIds);
