    This will be for BB2#898, same principle may be used in earlier version.
    This is just for example purpose.
    DO NOT SETUP Ad that you have already using in game, to avoid duplicate requests.

    First go to HeyZap Dashboard and choose your Ad that you want to use in Reward Video adding their ID's and other info depending on Advertising Network that you have chose. We have choose AdColony, AppLovin, AdMob, Chartboost, Facebook Audience, UnityAds.

    Go to https://developers.heyzap.com/docs/android_sdk_setup_and_requirements and go to Step No1. to select Ads that you have choose in HeyZap Dashboard ( screenshots 3.png )

    If you already Enable HeyZap in BuildBox you can skip downloading their SDK.

    Go to Step No.4 Add 3-rd-party SDK to your Project ( screenshot 4.png )
    Download all SDK from Ads that you have been selected.

    Go to Step No.5 Modify Android Manifest
    Now we will go to Eclipse and modify AndroidManifest.xml file. It show you which lines you will need to add for each Ad Network that you selected to work properly.

    We will start with Permission.
    In Eclipse open AndroidManifest.xml and scrol to the bottom, in our case we will need to add one AppLovin permission. ( screenshot 5.png and 6.png. )
    You can always check and compare Permissions in your Project and HeyZap Setup.

    Now we will need to add Activities to AndroidManifest.xml.
    IN our case we select only HeyZap in BuildBox and that's why only HeyZap in Active in Project.
    You my notice some Activities for Ad Network are blue, it is because we did not add them in BuildBox Advertising. ( Screenshot 7.png )

    We will start adding AdColony Activities
    We will copy from HayZap docs ( screenshot 8.png ) and paste into our Project ( screenshot 9.png )

    Now AppLovin and Facebook Audience Networks
    In our project they are blue, not active ( screenshot 10.png )
    We will copy from HayZap docs and paste into our Project ( screenshot 11.png )

    Save your project, and go to Project -> Clean.

    As last step you will need to add SDK of your networks that you have downloaded to lib folder in your Project.
    Just drag and drop .jar files to lib folder and on window that pop up just click OK ( screenshot 12.png )

    @dusan20002 Thanks so much for sharing. Even I have no use yet, these seems like a great resource for Heyzap integration

    In short term The process works like this

    1)Copy all the jar files from the 3rd party SDK to your game's lib file
    2)Edit the android Manifest.xml to give permission.

    Save>build>Emulate
