Migrate to Interstitial Ad Unit API (Beta)

This guide explains how to transition to the LevelPlay Interstitial APIs (using an ad unit ID) from your current implementation, to load and display interstitial ads.

⚡ Before you start
  • The min supported SDK is 8.4.0. You can download the latest SDK here.
  • Make sure to initialize the SDK using LevelPlay Initialization API. Learn more here.
  • You can find the AdUnitID in LevelPlay dashboard. Learn more here.

Create Interstitial Ad Object

The creation of the interstitial ad object should be done after receiving onInitSuccess callback.

LevelPlayInterstitialAd mInterstitialAd = new LevelPlayInterstitialAd("adUnitId");
val mInterstitialAd = LevelPlayInterstitialAd("adUnitId")

Set Interstitial Listener

Implement the LevelPlayInterstitialAdListener in your code instead of LevelPlayInterstitialListener to get informed of ad delivery. 

  • It is recommended to set the listener before loading the interstitial ad.
  • Please note that each interstitial ad should have its own listener implementation.
  • Callbacks run on the main thread.
// Create the interstitial ad 
LevelPlayInterstitialAd mInterstitialAd = new LevelPlayInterstitialAd("adUnitId");
mInterstitialAd.setListener(new LevelPlayInterstitialAdListener() {
    @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 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 interstitial ad has loaded, and includes a higher CPM/Rate
        // Optional
    }
});
// Create the interstitial ad unit 
val mInterstitialAd = LevelPlayInterstitialAd("adUnitId")
mInterstitialAd.setListener(object : LevelPlayInterstitialAdListener {
    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 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 interstitial ad has loaded, and includes a higher CPM/Rate
        // Optional
    }
})

LevelPlay Ad Info

Ad Info

The AdInfo class returned by the interstitial listener callbacks has been replaced by LevelPlayAdInfo.

Learn more about its implementation and available fields here.

Load Interstitial Ad

To load an interstitial ad, use loadAd instead of loadInterstitial.

mInterstitialAd.loadAd();
mInterstitialAd.loadAd()

Show Interstitial Ad

Show an interstitial ad after you receive the onAdLoaded callback using the LevelPlayInterstitialAdListener 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 showInterstitialAd() {
    // Check that ad is ready
    if (mInterstitialAd.isAdReady()) {
        // Show ad 
        mInterstitialAd.showAd(this);
    }
}
fun showInterstitialAd() {
    // Check that ad is ready
    if (mInterstitialAd.isAdReady()) {
        // Show ad
        mInterstitialAd.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 (mInterstitialAd.isAdReady() && !LevelPlayInterstitialAd.isPlacementCapped(placementName)) {
    mInterstitialAd.showAd(this, placementName);
}
// Check that ad is ready and that the placement is not capped
if (mInterstitialAd.isAdReady() && !LevelPlayInterstitialAd.isPlacementCapped(placementName)) {
    mInterstitialAd.showAd(this, placementName)
}

Placements

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

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

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

// Check that ad is ready and that the placement is not capped
if (mInterstitialAd.isAdReady() && !LevelPlayInterstitialAd.isPlacementCapped(placementName)) {
    // Show ad with placement
    mInterstitialAd.showAd(this, placementName)
}
