I am trying to understand the logic behind how AdMob works on videos. In our application we are trying to implement the feature where the user watches the entire video and earns a reward (in this case it will be some gems). I'm the developer of Android application and I've implemented the test video, it works normally. Now, here is the question:
How should we validate from the backend server that this video has been watched and closed? Can something be done on the backend server via a webhook or something? Because in the "Reward Item" object in Android there is no special token for us to communicate with the backend part, just reward type as string (which returns "Coins") and amount as integer.
You can use the RewardedVideoAdListener & check...
following are the events/methods in the listener -
#Override
public void onRewarded(RewardItem reward) {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewarded! currency: " + reward.getType() + " amount: " + reward.getAmount(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// Reward the user.
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLeftApplication() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdLeftApplication", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdClosed() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdClosed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLoaded() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdLoaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdOpened() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdOpened", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoStarted() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoStarted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoCompleted() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoCompleted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
first : implements RewardedVideoAdListener
#Override
public void onRewarded(RewardItem reward) {
// get reward send to backserver
// Reward the user.
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLeftApplication() {
// if client cancle the video call
// send backServer
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdClosed() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdClosed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLoaded() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdLoaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdOpened() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdOpened", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoStarted() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoStarted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoCompleted() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoCompleted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
on use onRewardedVideoAdLeftApplication() method

I have created an app with the rewarded video ad. When I click the button, the ad is not being loaded. I have tried testing the ad unit id and also my admob id, but neither work. Whenever I click the button, it shows " No fill from ad server. Failed to load ad: 3 "
I don't known what to do.
MobileAds.initialize(getApplicationContext(),"ca-app-pub-4786107620829013~6803627405");
mad = MobileAds.getRewardedVideoAdInstance(this);
mad.setRewardedVideoAdListener(this);
mad.loadAd("ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxx", new AdRequest.Builder().build());
public void Clicked(View view) {
if (mad.isLoaded())
{
mad.show();
}
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLoaded() {
Toast.makeText(this, "Video loaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdOpened() {
Toast.makeText(this, "Video Opened", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoStarted() {
Toast.makeText(this, "Video Started", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdClosed() {
}
#Override
public void onRewarded(RewardItem rewardItem) {
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLeftApplication() {
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad(int i) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Fail", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoCompleted() {
Toast.makeText(this, "Complete Video", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
i have problems with the admob rewarded videos. i followed all the steps from here:
https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start?hl=es-419#import_the_mobile_ads_sdk
https://developers.google.com/admob/android/rewarded-video?hl=es-419
But when i run the app it said video fails to load. I don´t understand the problem, it works fine with the test ads.
MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements RewardedVideoAdListener {
Button boton;
private RewardedVideoAd mRewardedVideoAd;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
boton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.boton);
// Sample AdMob app ID: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713
MobileAds.initialize(this, "ca-app-pub-7147850182235133~6727239853");
// Use an activity context to get the rewarded video instance.
mRewardedVideoAd = MobileAds.getRewardedVideoAdInstance(this);
mRewardedVideoAd.setRewardedVideoAdListener(this);
loadRewardedVideoAd();
}
private void loadRewardedVideoAd() {
mRewardedVideoAd.loadAd("ca-app-pub-7147850182235133/4302033289",
new AdRequest.Builder().build());
}
#Override
public void onRewarded(RewardItem reward) {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewarded! currency: " + reward.getType() + " amount: " +
reward.getAmount(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// Reward the user.
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLeftApplication() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdLeftApplication",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdClosed() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdClosed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLoaded() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdLoaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdOpened() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdOpened", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoStarted() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoStarted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoCompleted() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoCompleted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
public void boton(View view){
if (mRewardedVideoAd.isLoaded()) {
mRewardedVideoAd.show();
}
}
}
There can be multiple reasons that ads might not show up properly,
Make sure that your payment details are correct.This might take
about a day to fully active until then admob wont provide you with
any ads.
Try troubleshooting available at this link! .Make sure that every questions are clear and then answer.
Hope this helps...
so i am trying to implement video reward ads. But when i try to use the onRewarded method to reward the user it says "method does not override method from its superclass"
https://pastebin.com/Hp1zbuWW
#Override
public void onRewarded(RewardItem rewardItem) {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewarded! currency: " + rewardItem.getType() + " amount: " +
rewardItem.getAmount(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
I think you forgot to implement RewardedVideoAdListener in your activity.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements RewardedVideoAdListener {
private RewardedVideoAd mRewardedVideoAd;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
MobileAds.initialize(this,
"ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713");
// Use an activity context to get the rewarded video instance.
mRewardedVideoAd = MobileAds.getRewardedVideoAdInstance(this);
mRewardedVideoAd.setRewardedVideoAdListener(this);
loadRewardedVideoAd();
}
private void loadRewardedVideoAd() {
mRewardedVideoAd.loadAd("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/5224354917",
new AdRequest.Builder().build());
}
}
Then you can override methods like this.
#Override
public void onRewarded(RewardItem reward) {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewarded! currency: " + reward.getType() + " amount: " +
reward.getAmount(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// Reward the user.
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLeftApplication() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdLeftApplication",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdClosed() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdClosed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLoaded() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdLoaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdOpened() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoAdOpened", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onRewardedVideoStarted() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onRewardedVideoStarted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
Every time when i run the code its call onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad(int i) function. I am using codelabs example.
Sorry for bad English and thanks for helping me.
here is my code. I used many tutorial .
Is there anything I did it in the wrong way?
Or I just missed some steps?
public class Rewardedvideo extends AppCompatActivity implements
RewardedVideoAdListener {
RewardedVideoAd mAd;

loadrewardedvideoAd();
}
