Rewarded Ads Integration for Android

The Unity LevelPlay Rewarded is a full-screen ad unit, usually served at natural transition points during the app lifecycle. 

Before you start
  • Make sure that you have correctly integrated the ironSource SDK into your application. Integration is outlined here.
  • Make sure to initialize the SDK using LevelPlay Initialization API.
  • You can find the AdUnitID in LevelPlay dashboard. Learn more here.
  • This documentation is relevant for SDK 8.5.0+. Documentation for legacy Rewarded APIs (SDK 8.5.0 and below) can be found here.

Create Rewarded Ad Object

The creation of the Rewarded ad object must be performed after receiving the onInitSuccess callback.

The object is a reusable instance that can handle multiple loads and shows throughout the session. Once created, it should be used to load and show ads for the same ad unit.

For more advanced implementations, you may create multiple Rewarded ad objects if necessary.

LevelPlayRewardedAd mRewardedAd = new LevelPlayRewardedAd("adUnitId");
val mRewardedAd = LevelPlayRewardedAd("adUnitId")

Set Rewarded Listener

Implement the LevelPlayRewardedAdListener in your code to get informed of ad delivery. 

  • It is recommended to set the listener before loading the Rewarded ad.
  • Please note that each Rewarded ad should have its own listener implementation.
  • Callbacks run on the main thread.
// Create the Rewarded ad object
LevelPlayRewardedAd mRewardedAd = new LevelPlayRewardedAd("adUnitId");
mRewardedAd.setListener(new LevelPlayRewardedAdListener() {
    @Override
    public void onAdLoaded(LevelPlayAdInfo levelPlayAdInfo) {
        // Ad was loaded successfully
    }
    @Override
    public void onAdLoadFailed(LevelPlayAdError levelPlayAdError) {
        // Ad load failed 
    }
    @Override
    public void onAdDisplayed(LevelPlayAdInfo levelPlayAdInfo) {
        // Ad was displayed and visible on screen
    }

    @Override 
    public void onAdRewarded(@NonNull LevelPlayReward reward, @NonNull LevelPlayAdInfo adInfo) {
        // Ad reward received 
    }
    @Override
    public void onAdDisplayFailed(LevelPlayAdError levelPlayAdError, LevelPlayAdInfo levelPlayAdInfo) {
        // Ad fails to be displayed
        // Optional
    }
    @Override
    public void onAdClicked(LevelPlayAdInfo levelPlayAdInfo) {
        // Ad was clicked
        // Optional
    }
    @Override
    public void onAdClosed(LevelPlayAdInfo levelPlayAdInfo) {
        // Ad was closed
        // Optional
    }
    @Override
    public void onAdInfoChanged(LevelPlayAdInfo levelPlayAdInfo) {
        // Called after the ad info is updated. Available when another Rewarded ad has loaded, and includes a higher CPM/Rate
        // Optional
    }
});
// Create the Rewarded ad object 
val mRewardedAd = LevelPlayRewardedAd("adUnitId")
mRewardedAd.setListener(object : LevelPlayRewardedAdListener {
    override fun onAdLoaded(levelPlayAdInfo: LevelPlayAdInfo) {
        // Ad was loaded successfully
    }
    override fun onAdLoadFailed(levelPlayAdError: LevelPlayAdError) {
        // Ad load failed
    }
    override fun onAdDisplayed(levelPlayAdInfo: LevelPlayAdInfo) {
        // Ad was displayed and visible on screen
    }

    override fun onAdRewarded(reward: LevelPlayReward, adInfo: LevelPlayAdInfo) {
        // Ad reward received 
    }
    override fun onAdDisplayFailed(levelPlayAdError: LevelPlayAdError, levelPlayAdInfo: LevelPlayAdInfo) {
        // Ad fails to be displayed
        // Optional
    }
    override fun onAdClicked(levelPlayAdInfo: LevelPlayAdInfo) {
        // Ad was clicked
        // Optional
    }
    override fun onAdClosed(levelPlayAdInfo: LevelPlayAdInfo) {
        // Ad was closed
        // Optional
    }
    override fun onAdInfoChanged(levelPlayAdInfo: LevelPlayAdInfo) {
        // Called after the ad info is updated. Available when another Rewarded ad has loaded, and includes a higher CPM/Rate
        // Optional
    }
})

LevelPlay Ad Info

Ad Info

The LevelPlayAdInfo parameter includes information about the loaded ad.

Learn more about its implementation and available fields here.

Load Rewarded Ad

To load an Rewarded ad use loadAd.

mRewardedAd.loadAd();
mRewardedAd.loadAd()

Show Rewarded Ad

Show an Rewarded ad after you receive the onAdLoaded callback using the LevelPlayRewardedAdListener APIs.

  • It is required to share Activity
  • If using placements, pass the placement name in the showAd API as shown in the Placements section below.
  • Once the ad has been successfully displayed to the user, you can load another ad by repeating the loading step. 
public void showRewardedAd() {
    // Check that ad is ready
    if (mRewardedAd.isAdReady()) {
        // Show ad 
        mRewardedAd.showAd(this);
    }
}
fun showRewardedAd() {
    // Check that ad is ready
    if (mRewardedAd.isAdReady()) {
        // Show ad
        mRewardedAd.showAd(this)
    }
}

Check Ad is Ready

To avoid show failures, and to make sure the ad could be displayed correctly, we recommend using the following API before calling the showAd API.

isAdReady – returns true if ad was loaded successfully and ad unit is not capped, or false otherwise.

isPlacementCapped – returns true when a valid placement is capped. If the placement is not valid, or not capped, this API will return false.

// Check that ad is ready and that the placement is not capped 
if (mRewardedAd.isAdReady() && !LevelPlayRewardedAd.isPlacementCapped(placementName)) {
    mRewardedAd.showAd(this, placementName);
}
// Check that ad is ready and that the placement is not capped
if (mRewardedAd.isAdReady() && !LevelPlayRewardedAd.isPlacementCapped(placementName)) {
    mRewardedAd.showAd(this, placementName)
}

Placements

We support placements pacing and capping for Rewarded on the LevelPlay dashboard. 

If placements are set up for Rewarded ads, call the showAd method to serve the ad for a specific placement.

public void showRewardedAdWithPlacement() {
    // Check that ad is ready and that the placement is not capped 
    if (mRewardedAd.isAdReady() && !LevelPlayRewardedAd.isPlacementCapped(placementName)) {
        // Show ad with placement 
        mRewardedAd.showAd(this, placementName);
    }
}
fun showRewardedAdWithPlacement(placementName: String) {
    // Check that ad is ready and that the placement is not capped
    if (mRewardedAd.isAdReady() && !LevelPlayRewardedAd.isPlacementCapped(placementName)) {
        // Show ad with placement
        mRewardedAd.showAd(this, placementName)
    }
}

Reward the User

The LevelPlay SDK will fire the onAdRewarded each time the user successfully completes a video.

The onAdRewarded and onAdClosed are asynchronous. Make sure to set up your listener to grant rewards even in cases where onAdRewarded is fired after the onAdClosed.

@override
public void onAdRewarded(@NonNull LevelPlayReward reward, @NonNull LevelPlayAdInfo adInfo) {
    // Implement logic to grant the reward to the user
    String name = reward.getName(); 
    int amount = reward.getAmount();
}
override fun onAdRewarded(reward: LevelPlayReward, adInfo: LevelPlayAdInfo) {
    // Implement logic to grant the reward to the user
    val name: String = reward.name 
    val amount: Int = reward.amount
}
