Interstitial Ads and Banner ads not loading

I am loading banner ads and interstitial ads at different events. The problem is ads are loading fine at some places and at some place, they are not loading at all. I used same method to load the ads all over the application so why are they not loading at some points? Here is the code to interstitial ads which is working fine in splash screen :
setContentView(R.layout.splash);
mInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(this);
mInterstitialAd.setAdUnitId(getString(R.string.AdUnitId_interstitial));
requestNewInterstitial();
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Intent i = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
if (mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
mInterstitialAd.show();
requestNewInterstitial();
mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
requestNewInterstitial();
}
});
}
finish();
}
}, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);
}
The same code is not working in drawer activity. Here is the code in onCreate:
mInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(this);
mInterstitialAd.setAdUnitId(getString(R.string.AdUnitId_interstitial));
requestNewInterstitial();
Here is the code for the button click handler:
else if (id == R.id.audio) {
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, AndroidBuildingMusicPlayerActivity.class));
overridePendingTransition(android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out);
if (mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
mInterstitialAd.show();
requestNewInterstitial();
mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
requestNewInterstitial();
}
});
}
And for banner ads i am using this :
mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest1 = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest1);
It works fine in a few activities and doesn't work in some. Anyone got a clue?

The problem was with my layout. It was not getting enough space for the adview to show. The Java code is absolutely fine.

build AdMob Interstitial ad again after 60 seconds

Currently, I am using the code which is displaying AdMob Interstitial ad after 20 seconds and when the ad is closed I want to show another ad after 60 seconds, this is the code currently I am using for the first ad to load after 20 seconds
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
interAd = new InterstitialAd(MainActivity.this);
interAd.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712");
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addTestDevice("SEE_YOUR_LOGCAT_TO_GET_YOUR_DEVICE_ID")
.build();
interAd.loadAd(adRequest);
interAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
interAd.show();
}
});
interAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
// Code to be executed when the interstitial ad is closed.
Log.i("Ads", "onAdClosed");
}
});
}
} , 20000);
i have tried this method from AdMob tutorial it load the ads but after every second
interAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
// Load the next interstitial.
interAd.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());
}
});

You should attach you Ad's lifecycle to your Activity's lifecycle so you can start/stop showing adds just when your app is visible to the user.
Create a global variables for you Ad and Handler
private InterstitialAd mInterstitialAd;
private Handler mHandler = new Handler();
private Runnable mRunnable = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
// Wait 60 seconds
mHandler.postDelayed(this, 60*1000);
// Show Ad
showInterstitial();
}
};
then...
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Create the InterstitialAd and set the adUnitId
mInterstitialAd = newInterstitialAd();
loadInterstitial();
}
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
// Start showing Ad in every 60 seconds
//when activity is visible to the user
mHandler = new Handler();
//mHandler.post(mRunnable);
// Run first add after 20 seconds
mHandler.postDelayed(mRunnable,20*1000);
}
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
// Stop showing Ad when activity is not visible anymore
mHandler.removeCallbacks(mRunnable);
}
private void loadInterstitial() {
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addTestDevice("SEE_YOUR_LOGCAT_TO_GET_YOUR_DEVICE_ID")
.setRequestAgent("android_studio:ad_template").build();
mInterstitialAd.loadAd(adRequest);
}
private InterstitialAd newInterstitialAd() {
InterstitialAd interstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(this);
interstitialAd.setAdUnitId(getString(R.string.interstitial_ad_unit_id));
interstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
mNextLevelButton.setEnabled(true);
}
#Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
mNextLevelButton.setEnabled(true);
}
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
// Reload ad so it can be ready to be show to the user next time
mInterstitialAd = newInterstitialAd();
loadInterstitial();
}
});
return interstitialAd;
}
private void showInterstitial() {
// Show the ad if it's ready. Otherwise toast and reload the ad.
if (mInterstitialAd != null && mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
mInterstitialAd.show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "Ad did not load", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
mInterstitialAd = newInterstitialAd();
loadInterstitial();
}
}

Make a new thread, then add a sleep time of 60000 milliseconds before showing your ad back. It will allow for async working.
Example, add this code in the onAdClosed() :
new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run(){
Thread.sleep(60000);
// Show your ad here
}
}).start();

Admob Interstitial ad is not clickable in android app exit

I am trying to show admob interstitial ad at the end of the application when user presses back button from the main activity. Ad is shown, but the ad is not clickable. My code is
I put loading part at the activity onCreate :
interstitial = new InterstitialAd(getApplicationContext());
interstitial.setAdUnitId("Ad UNIT ID");
// Create ad request.
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR).build();
// Begin loading your interstitial.
interstitial.loadAd(adRequest);
and in OnBackPressed :
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
super.onBackPressed();
displayInterstitial();
}
protected void displayInterstitial() {
Log.d(TAG, "start displayInterstitial()");
if (null != interstitial && interstitial.isLoaded()) {
Log.d(TAG, "displayInterstitial() loaded");
interstitial.show();
}
Log.d(TAG, "end displayInterstitial()");
}
Can anyone please help me to fix this issue?

Simplest way would be:
interstitial.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
finish();
}
});
However, in my opinion it is better to stay at your app for a sec before app finishes. That way it is more clear that this ad was still part of your app:
interstitial.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
finish();
}
}, 1000);
}
});
BTW: about the comment of calling MainActivity.super.onBackPressed(); inside the adlistener's onAdClosed: I tested it and threw an IllegalStateException. I guess that is because the moment when onBackPressed is called is too late already. But well it is anyway not needed, so forget about it. The super onBackPressed method itself is accessible from the AdListener though and will compile just fine ;-)

#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
Log.d(TAG, "onBackPressed Called");
displayInterstitial();
//finish();
super.onBackPressed();
}

How to Launch specific activity on press My App icon on recent apps menu

I am using Admob SDK on my app, my I load the add onCreate and onResume, Now when the user press back to exit the app quickly the application display Interstitial ad after few seconds, and the user may close it, So far no problems, but when the user press the app icon from the recent apps; it display blank activity of Admob AdActivity
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if (resumeAdFlag) {
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
interstitial.loadAd(adRequest);
} else {
resumeAdFlag = true;
}
}
and on add loaded
public void onAdLoaded() {
displayInterstitial();
super.onAdLoaded();
}
and this to display
public void displayInterstitial() {
if (interstitial.isLoaded()) {
interstitial.show();
resumeAdFlag = false;
}
}

Is it displaying blank activity after a moment or instantly?
Can you try loading the ad in onResume() and after 5 seconds, calling displayInterstitial() as shown below?
or can you try interstitial with a different ad_unit_id when showing after onResume()?
new CountDownTimer(5000, 5) {
#Override
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
}
#Override
public void onFinish() {
displayInterstitial();
}
}.start();

Interstitial Ad Loading After every 1 Minte

I want to Display a Interstitial Ad after every one minute...
can any one please explain with sample code ...
thanks
Please
interstitialAds = new InterstitialAd(this, "Your_Pub_ID");
final AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest();
interstitialAds.loadAd(adRequest);
interstitialAds.setAdListener(this);

Firstly this will be a VERY bad experience for your users. I would strongly recommend against it.
But if you really want to piss your users off then something like:
final Runnable runanble = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
while (true) {
wait(60000);
runOnUiThread(intersitial.showAd());
interstitial.loadAd(new request());
}
}
};
Edit:
DO NOT DO THIS. I have had word back from Admob that this directly contravenes their policies and it will get your account disabled.

This is against admob policies and they will ban you also this will be very bad experience for user.
EDIT: link to policy (refer "Repeated or recurring interstitials" section) - https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6201362?hl=en&ref_topic=2745287

There are numerous way to display Interstitial ads at regular interval of time. You can add codes in your app in order to display Interstitial ads at regular interval of time.
prepareAd();
ScheduledExecutorService scheduler =
Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor();
scheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Log.i("hello", "world");
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if (mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
mInterstitialAd.show();
} else {
Log.d("TAG"," Interstitial not loaded");
}
prepareAd();
}
});
}
}, 20, 20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
However, I (you can say that admob) strongly stopping you to doing such stuffs. It is against AdMob policy and your account will get suspended if you do so.
If you want to learn more stuffs about android app development and how to place admob ad in your application. I recommend you to visit this website.
http://www.elegantespace.com/how-to-load-interstitial-ad-at-regular-interval-of-time/

place it in oncreate method
handler.postDelayed(runnable, 420000);
after oncreate method
Runnable runnable = new Runnable(){
#Override
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//Your code to show add
// Create the interstitial.
// Prepare the Interstitial Ad
Interstitial = new InterstitialAd(your activity);
// Insert the Ad Unit ID
interstitial.setAdUnitId("your id ");
//Locate the Banner Ad in activity_main.xml
AdView adView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.ad_view);
// Request for Ads
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
// Add a test device to show Test Ads
.addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
.addTestDevice("")
.build();
// Load ads into Banner Ads
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
// Load ads into Interstitial Ads
Interstitial.loadAd(adRequest);
// Prepare an Interstitial Ad Listener
interstitial.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
public void onAdLoaded() {
// Call displayInterstitial() function
displayInterstitial();
}
});
handler.postDelayed(this, 600000); // 1000 - Milliseconds
}
};

interstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
public void onAdLoaded() {
Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
MainActivity.this.interstitialAd.show();
}
}, 5000);
} });

just simple. create Timertask and schedule every 60000 ms. but it is bad UX for users. don't do it
final Handler handler = new Handler();
Timer timer = new Timer();
TimerTask doAsynchronousTask = new TimerTask() {
#Override
public void run() {
handler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if (mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
mInterstitialAd.show();
}
}
});
}
};
timer.schedule(doAsynchronousTask, 0, 60000);
