# Initializing the SDK

To Initialize the SDK call the intitializeSDK() function in the application class of the app. It is recommended to call the function as soon as possible.

The initializeSDK() function returns a list of AdapterStatus , and the function is called as follows:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Java" %}

```java
AdSter.INSTANCE.initializeSdk(getApplicationContext(), AdapterStatus -> {
    // Initialization completes here
})
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Kotlin" %}

```java
AdSter.initializeSdk(getApplicationContext(), object : InitializationListener {
    override fun onInitializationComplete(adapterStatus: List<AdapterStatus>) {
        // Initialization completes here
    }
})
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Note : All load ad requests are to be called only after the completion of the initialization of the SDK.
