Create an interstitial ad object
Interstitial ads are requested and shown by InterstitialAd objects. The first step is instantiating InterstitialAd and setting its ad unit ID. This is done in the onCreate() method of an Activity:
package ...
import com.google.android.gms.ads.InterstitialAd;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private InterstitialAd mInterstitialAd;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
MobileAds.initialize(this,
"ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713");
mInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(this);
mInterstitialAd.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712");
}
}
A single InterstitialAd object can be used to request and display multiple interstitial ads over the course of an activity's lifespan, so you only need to construct it once.
Always test with test ads
When building and testing your apps, make sure you use test ads rather than live, production ads. Failure to do so can lead to suspension of your account.
The easiest way to load test ads is to use our dedicated test ad unit ID for Android interstitials:
ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712
It's been specially configured to return test ads for every request, and you're free to use it in your own apps while coding, testing, and debugging. Just make sure you replace it with your own ad unit ID before publishing your app.
For more information about how the Mobile Ads SDK's test ads work, see Test Ads.
Load an ad
Note: Make all calls to the Mobile Ads SDK on the main thread. To load an interstitial ad, call the InterstitialAd object's loadAd() method. This method accepts an AdRequest object as its single parameter:
package ...
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.InterstitialAd;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private InterstitialAd mInterstitialAd;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
MobileAds.initialize(this,
"ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713");
mInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(this);
mInterstitialAd.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712");
mInterstitialAd.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());
}
}
Show the ad
Interstitial ads should be displayed during natural pauses in the flow of an app. Between levels of a game is a good example, or after the user completes a task. To show an interstitial, use theisLoaded() method to verify that it's done loading, then call show(). The interstitial ad from the previous code example could be shown in a button's OnClickListener like this:
mMyButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
mInterstitialAd.show();
} else {
Log.d("TAG", "The interstitial wasn't loaded yet.");
}
}
});
Ad events
To further customize the behavior of your ad, you can hook onto a number of events in the ad's lifecycle: loading, opening, closing, and so on. You can listen for these events through theAdListener class.
To use an AdListener with an InterstitialAd object, simply call the setAdListener()method:
mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
@Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
// Code to be executed when an ad finishes loading.
}
@Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
// Code to be executed when an ad request fails.
}
@Override
public void onAdOpened() {
// Code to be executed when the ad is displayed.
}
@Override
public void onAdLeftApplication() {
// Code to be executed when the user has left the app.
}
@Override
public void onAdClosed() {
// Code to be executed when when the interstitial ad is closed.
}
});
Each of the overridable methods in AdListener corresponds to an event in the lifecycle of an ad.
| Overridable methods | |
|---|---|
onAdLoaded() | The onAdLoaded() method is executed when an ad has finished loading. |
onAdFailedToLoad() | The onAdFailedToLoad() method includes an errorCode parameter that indicates what type of failure occurred. The possible values are defined as constants in the AdRequest class:
|
onAdOpened() | This method is invoked when the ad is displayed, covering the device's screen. |
onAdLeftApplication() | This method is invoked when a user click opens another app (such as the Google Play), backgrounding the current app. |
onAdClosed() | This method is invoked when when the interstitial ad is closed due to the user tapping on the close icon or using the back button. If your app paused its audio output or game loop, this is a great place to resume it. |
Using an AdListener to reload
The AdListener class's onAdClosed() method is a handy place to load a new interstitial after displaying the previous one:
...
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
MobileAds.initialize(this,
"ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713");
mInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(this);
mInterstitialAd.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712");
mInterstitialAd.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());
mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
@Override
public void onAdClosed() {
// Load the next interstitial.
mInterstitialAd.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());
}
});
}
...
Some best practices
-
Consider whether interstitial ads are the right type of ad for your app.
- Interstitial ads work best in apps with natural transition points. The conclusion of a task within an app, like sharing an image or completing a game level, creates such a point. Because the user is expecting a break in the action, it's easy to present an interstitial ad without disrupting their experience. Make sure you consider at which points in your app's workflow you'll display interstitial ads and how the user is likely to respond. Remember to pause the action when displaying an interstitial ad.
-
There are a number of different types of interstitial ads: text, image, video, and more. It's important to make sure that when your app displays an interstitial ad, it also suspends its use of some resources to allow the ad to take advantage of them. For example, when you make the call to display an interstitial ad, be sure to pause any audio output being produced by your app. You can resume playing sounds in the
onAdClosed()event handler, which will be invoked when the user has finished interacting with the ad. In addition, consider temporarily halting any intense computation tasks (such as a game loop) while the ad is being displayed. This will make sure the user doesn't experience slow or unresponsive graphics or stuttered video.
Allow for adequate loading time.
-
Just as it's important to make sure you display interstitial ads at an appropriate time, it's also important to make sure the user doesn't have to wait for them to load. Loading the ad in advance by calling
loadAd()before you intend to callshow()can ensure that your app has a fully loaded interstitial ad at the ready when the time comes to display one.
Don't flood the user with ads.
- While increasing the frequency of interstitial ads in your app might seem like a great way to increase revenue, it can also degrade the user experience and lower clickthrough rates. Make sure that users aren't so frequently interrupted that they're no longer able to enjoy the use of your app.
