## What it is
A collection of official sample apps and code snippets demonstrating the legacy Google Mobile Ads SDK for Android (play-services-ads). The repository is now in maintenance mode, with Google directing developers to the newer GMA Next-Gen SDK examples.

## Use cases
- integrate banner ads in an android app
- learn how to show interstitial ads with admob
- implement rewarded video ads in android
- example code for google mobile ads sdk
- migrate from legacy play-services-ads sdk
- test ad formats in a sample android project

## When to choose
- you are maintaining an app still on the legacy play-services-ads SDK
- you need reference snippets for classic Google Mobile Ads API usage
- you want to compare legacy integration before migrating

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Android ads integration - use the GMA Next-Gen SDK examples instead
- you need iOS or cross-platform ad samples
- you need production ad mediation configuration guidance

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource

- function: sdk, developer-tools
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: jvm
