android {
    dependencies {

        // You should add this line
        implementation 'com.appsamurai.storyly:storyly-monetization:<latest-version>'

        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

Initialize StorylyAdProvider

You need to set a StorylyAdProvider to your StorylyView instance to enable monetization feature.

storylyView.storylyAdViewProvider = StorylyAdViewProvider(this, ADMOB_NATIVE_AD_ID)

storylyView.setStorylyAdViewProvider(new StorylyAdViewProvider(this, ADMOB_NATIVE_AD_ID));
