Interstitial Ads

Interstitial ads are full-screen, video, or interactive ads that appear at natural transition points within an app, such as between levels in a game or when a user is switching screens.

Building the Ad Placement (Ad Spot)

Add the required controllers to set up the ad placement:

Java

// Spot integration for fullscreen ad
InneractiveAdSpot mSpot = InneractiveAdSpotManager.get().createSpot();

// Adding the fullscreen controller
InneractiveFullscreenUnitController controller = new InneractiveFullscreenUnitController();

// Adding the video fullscreen controller
InneractiveFullscreenVideoContentController videoContentController = new InneractiveFullscreenVideoContentController();

// Adding the video fullscreen controller to the adview controller
controller.addContentController(videoContentController);
mSpot.addUnitController(controller);

Adding Listeners

Add listeners for the controller and the spot.

Adding Event Listener for the Controller

The example below demonstrates how you would add an EventListener to receive Interstitial ad callbacks:

Events:

Java

controller.setEventsListener(new InneractiveFullscreenAdEventsListener() {
    @Override
    public void onAdImpression(InneractiveAdSpot inneractiveAdSpot) {
    }
    @Override
    public void onAdClicked(InneractiveAdSpot inneractiveAdSpot) {
    }
    @Override
    public void onAdWillOpenExternalApp(InneractiveAdSpot inneractiveAdSpot) {
    }
    @Override
    public void onAdEnteredErrorState(InneractiveAdSpot inneractiveAdSpot, InneractiveUnitController.AdDisplayError adDisplayError) {
    }
    @Override
    public void onAdWillCloseInternalBrowser(InneractiveAdSpot inneractiveAdSpot) {
    }
    @Override
    public void onAdDismissed(InneractiveAdSpot inneractiveAdSpot) {
    }
});

Video Events:

Java

videoContentController.setEventsListener(new VideoContentListener() {
    @Override
    public void onProgress(int totalDurationInMsec, int positionInMsec) {
    }
    @Override
    public void onCompleted() {
    }
    @Override
    public void onPlayerError() {
        /**
         * Note: onPlayerError callback method is deprecated starting from VAMP v7.3.0,
         and won't be triggered when an error occurs. 
         * Note: The SDK handles such errors internally and no further action is required.
         */
    }
});

Adding Request Listener for the Spot

The example below demonstrates how you would add a RequestListener for the Spot:

Java

InneractiveAdSpot.RequestListener mSpotListener = new InneractiveAdSpot.RequestListener() 
{
    @Override
    // When the ad request sends successfully
    public void onInneractiveSuccessfulAdRequest(InneractiveAdSpot inneractiveAdSpot) {
    }
    @Override
    // When the ad request fails to send
    public void onInneractiveFailedAdRequest(InneractiveAdSpot inneractiveAdSpot, InneractiveErrorCode inneractiveErrorCode) {
    }
};
mSpot.setRequestListener(mSpotListener);

Fetching the Ad

The way in which the ad is fetched depends on the mediation type — Waterfall or SDK Bidding.

Fetching the Ad for Waterfall

In Waterfall mediation, use InneractiveAdRequest adRequest to request the ad:

Java

InneractiveAdRequest adRequest = new InneractiveAdRequest("add_your_interstitial_spot_id");

// To perform the ad request
mSpot.requestAd(adRequest);

Optionally, you can mute ads by including setMuteVideo(true):

Java

InneractiveAdManager.setMuteVideo(true);

Fetching the Ad for SDK Bidding

In SDK Bidding, DT Exchange must first generate a token for the Mediation SDK to use when identifying the request to the server.

Use getBidderToken to generate a Bidder Token in a background thread:

Java

BidTokenProvider.getBidderToken();

Return type: java.lang.String. If an error occurs, the returned value is null.

If DT Exchange wins the auction, load the ad with the signaldata (adm) that was received from the server:

Java

public void loadAd(String admPayload);

If the load is successful: public void onInneractiveSuccessfulAdRequest(InneractiveAdSpot inneractiveAdSpot) callback is invoked.

If the ad fails to load: public void onInneractiveFailedAdRequest(InneractiveAdSpot inneractiveAdSpot, InneractiveErrorCode inneractiveErrorCode) callback is invoked.

Displaying the Ad

After a successful ad request, use mSpot.isReady to confirm the ad is ready and controller.show(this); to display the Ad:

Java

// Checking if we have ad content
if (mSpot.isReady()) {
// Getting the spot's controller
    InneractiveFullscreenUnitController controller = (InneractiveFullscreenUnitController)mSpot.getSelectedUnitController();
// Showing the ad using the Activity's context
    controller.show(this);
}

Releasing an Ad Placement

DT recommends releasing the allocated resources for ad display. For more information, see Releasing Ad Instance Resources.
