I want to show an Interstitial Ad to a user who has downloaded the app for the first time only. This will show only once.
I have written code to determine if the user is a first time user. - Which is working fine.
ISSUE / ERORR
My displayInterstitial() method is returning AD IS NOT LOADED? - interstitial.isLoaded() is false hence interstitial.show() does not get called.
MY UNDERSTANDING
I have loadAd() in the oncreate, so the displayInterstitial() should work in this case. But it doesn't.
CODE
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.inbox_list);
createAdmobBanner();
// Create the interstitial.
interstitial = new InterstitialAd(this);
interstitial.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-xxxx/xxx");
// Create ad request.
AdRequest adRequestIN = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
// Begin loading your interstitial.
interstitial.loadAd(adRequestIN);
//CHECK IF USER DOWNLOADED APP FOR FIRST TIME.
SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0);
if (settings.getBoolean("my_first_time", true)) {
//the app is being launched for first time, do something
Log.d("Comments", "First time");
//CALL LARGE SCREEN ADD
displayInterstitial();
// record the fact that the app has been started at least once
settings.edit().putBoolean("my_first_time", false).commit();
}
// Set an AdListener.
interstitial.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
}
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
// Proceed to the next level.
// Create ad request.
AdRequest adRequestIN = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
// Begin loading your interstitial.
interstitial.loadAd(adRequestIN);
}
});
//SHOW ADD
public void displayInterstitial()
{
if (interstitial.isLoaded())
{
interstitial.show();
Log.d("response", "AD IS LOADED: ");
}
else
{
Log.d("response", "AD IS NOT LOADED: " );
}
}
You are calling displayInterstitial() before an ad has been loaded.
Interstitial ads take some time to load.
You are trying to display it too early.

I am testing Ads in an Android app.
I want a button to be shown when the ad is loaded, and then click on the button to show the ad.
My issue is that the ad is never loaded.
This is my code so far:
MobileAds.initialize(getActivity(), "ca-app-pub-***");
mInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(getActivity());
mInterstitialAd.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-ca-app-pub-***");
mInterstitialAd.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());
btnOfertar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
// Code to be executed when an ad finishes loading.
Log.i("Ads", "onAdLoaded");
btnOfertar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
});
You should try the following:
mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
// Add this
mInterstitialAd.show()
Log.i("Ads", "onAdLoaded");
btnOfertar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
});
Also, try using the dedicated test ad id that Google provides in the documentation: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712. If this loads properly your code should be okay.
Your actual ad might take a while to show up depending on how many requests you're getting to show the ad. Also make sure that your AdMob's payment is set up correctly.
How do you people use admob banner? Can you please take a look at my code and show what is wrong with it. I have a game that has a Pause screen and it has much room to place a banner.
However when I load it, banner takes too long to show up in slow connection. So i made to load it up but keep it INVISIBLE, then make it visible when I need it. But it's not work. The banner won't visible! Please give me any advice...
Here is the code:
//Admob request Banner
bannerAdmob = new AdView(this);
bannerAdmob.setAdSize(AdSize.WIDE_SKYSCRAPER);
bannerAdmob.setAdUnitId(Setting.admobBannerId);
requestAdmobBanner();
I use handler to choose adunit. Interstitial is work nice, but neither banner.
protected Handler handlerAdmob = new Handler() {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
switch (msg.what) {
case 1: //If is interstitial
if (interstitialAdmob.isLoaded()) {
interstitialAdmob.show();
} else {
requestAdmobInterstitial();
}
break;
case 2: //If is banner
bannerAdmob.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
break;
case 6: //Hide banner
bannerAdmob.destroy();
requestAdmobBanner(); //Request new banner
}
}
};
Then the method to load banner
private void requestAdmobBanner() {
AdRequest bannerRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
// Add a test device to show Test Ads
.addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
.addTestDevice(Setting.Device_ID)
.build();
// Load the banner ad.
bannerAdmob.loadAd(bannerRequest);
// Now we add ads listener for Admob banner so we can SHOW and HIDE it
bannerAdmob.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) { // On admob interstitial failed to load, request new ad
bannerAdmob.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
bannerAdmob.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
System.out.println("Banner Admob is load, but still INVISIBLE");
}
});
}
You are setting the AdView to be INVISIBLE, when you should be setting it to VISIBLE. See code below:
// Now we add ads listener for Admob banner so we can SHOW and HIDE it
bannerAdmob.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) { // On admob interstitial failed to load, request new ad
bannerAdmob.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
bannerAdmob.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
System.out.println("#onAdLoaded - making AdView visible");
}
});
Iam trying to display ad using Admob,but Iam not getting any call at onAdloaded.Can someone help...
Iam displaying an inerstitial ad.Iam setting and then Iam trying to load it...
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle arg0) {
super.onCreate(arg0);
CalligraphyConfig.initDefault(getString(R.string.font_alegreya_sans_regular));
setInterstitialAd();
setContentView(R.layout.splashscreen_activity);
}
private void setInterstitialAd() {
mInterstitial = new InterstitialAd(this);
mInterstitial.setAdUnitId(INTERSTITIAL_AD_ID);
// Create ad request.
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
// Begin loading your interstitial.
mInterstitial.loadAd(adRequest);
mInterstitial.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
displayInterstitial();
}
#Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
}
});
}
private void initAdView() {
AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.ad_container_layout);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
}
You should'nt have displayInterstitial() inside onAdLoaded(). This is causing the outcome of Ad not being shown. Either show an Ad after some level or user made action like after five level, one is displaying an interstitial, it comes in the pause menu. you keep it loaded from before and display it on the fifth level. or you can have it in that pause menu after some amount of time using a timer ( in which displayInterstitial() ) is included.
Suraj, add some log into both callback methods. One of them will be called.
I suspect the ad request is failing for reason, so onFailedToLoad() will be getting called instead.
Also DON'T call displayInterstitial() from onAdLoaded(). This causes really poor user experience and is likely to get your Admob account banned.
My application opens a Publisher InterstitialAd whenever you start but when a user closes it reopens. This process happens constantly and then you can't use application, can anyone help me?
public void getIntertitalAds(boolean isPortraitMode)
{
interstitial = new PublisherInterstitialAd(context);
if(isPortraitMode)
interstitial.setAdUnitId(tags.getAdUnitInterstitial());
else
interstitial.setAdUnitId(tags.getAdUnitInterstitialTablet());
AdListener adListener = new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
super.onAdLoaded();
if(interstitial!=null)
interstitial.show();
}
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
super.onAdClosed();
interstitial = null;
}
};
// Create ad request.
PublisherAdRequest adRequest = new PublisherAdRequest.Builder()
.build();
// Begin loading your interstitial.
interstitial.setAdListener(adListener);
interstitial.loadAd(adRequest);
}
NEVER call interstitial.show() from AdListener#onAdLoaded(). You have no control over when it will be called and it presents a really poor user experience. Instead call interstitial.show() at a natural break point in your app.
There is no need to have separate AdUnitIds for portrait and landscape. Interstitials are the same regardless.
All the code in your getIntertitalAds() (sic) method should be Activity#onCreate
I strongly suspect your problems stem from a combination of 1 and 3.
i want to have an admob interstitial ad show up when the user first opens the app or when the user navigates to another app (like browser) and then returns to my app. This is my current code for interstital ad, this code is entirely contained inside the OnCreate method.
// Create the interstitial.
interstitial = new InterstitialAd(this);
interstitial.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");
// Create ad request.
AdRequest adRequest2 = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
// Begin loading your interstitial.
interstitial.loadAd(adRequest2);
interstitial.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
if (interstitial.isLoaded()) {
interstitial.show();
}
}
});
This seems to work for most situations, but on certain devices this will create a loop of interstitial showing 2-3 sec after they are dismissed by the user. one of those device that has the loop is a Galaxy Tab3 . i cant seem to figure out a proper way to setup my code so that this behavior does not happen on any device.
Use the following code to display the interstitial ad when appstarts.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
interstitial = new InterstitialAd(this);
interstitial.setAdUnitId("***********");
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
interstitial.loadAd(adRequest);
interstitial.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
public void onAdLoaded() {
displayInterstitial();
}
});
}
public void displayInterstitial() {
if (interstitial.isLoaded()) {
interstitial.show();
}
}
Create a boolean var to assist with it..
boolean ad_shown = false;
When you do .show() turn the variable to true.
Don't forget to put a guard on the if
if (interstitial.isLoaded() && !ad_shown) {
