Handling multiple ads sources (adMob + Leadbolt) on Android

Question

i'm new with Android and i've been playing with it a bit in the past few weeks. I've been following some tutorials and most of them explains the ad theme with adMob, which is an obvious solution to use because is made by the same enterprise that made the OS. However, i've been searching for some others solutions and a friend recommended me Leadbolt, i've downloaded the sdk to use it, but another idea came up to my mind, i came from .NET and on ASP.NET there's the adrotator control, that i could use to display ads from several sources there isn't anything similar that do that on android? If not there's another solution to use both ads on a same space on the app? I have it as a Banner. Thanks.

It sounds like you're looking for a Mediation solution where you can configure (server-side) how to distribute requests to different ads from multiple ad networks. If one network doesn't fill the request, then the mediation solution would try one of your other configured networks.

The AdMob SDK now includes mediation since v6.0. You can learn more about AdMob Mediation here and how to integrate it here.
