This page covers the differences in loading and showing an interstitial ad
between the current and Next Gen Mobile Ads SDKs.
Load an ad
The following examples load an interstitial ad in the current and Next Gen
Mobile Ads SDKs:
| Current |
Kotlin
InterstitialAd.load(
this@InterstitialActivity,
"AD_UNIT_ID",
AdRequest.Builder().build(),
object : InterstitialAdLoadCallback() {
override fun onAdLoaded(ad: InterstitialAd) {
// Called when an ad has loaded.
ad.fullScreenContentCallback =
object : FullScreenContentCallback() {
}
interstitialAd = ad
}
override fun onAdFailedToLoad(loadAdError: LoadAdError) {
// Called when ad fails to load.
}
}
)
Java
InterstitialAd.load(
this,
"AD_UNIT_ID",
new AdRequest.Builder().build(),
new InterstitialAdLoadCallback() {
@Override
public void onAdLoaded(@NonNull InterstitialAd ad) {
// Called when an ad has loaded.
ad.setFullScreenContentCallback(new FullScreenContentCallback() {});
interstitialAd = ad;
}
@Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(@NonNull LoadAdError loadAdError) {
// Called when ad fails to load.
}
}
);
|
| Next Gen |
Kotlin
InterstitialAd.load(
AdRequest.Builder("AD_UNIT_ID").build(),
object : AdLoadCallback<InterstitialAd> {
override fun onAdLoaded(ad: InterstitialAd) {
// Called when an ad has loaded.
ad.adEventCallback =
object : InterstitialAdEventCallback {
}
interstitialAd = ad
}
override fun onAdFailedToLoad(loadAdError: LoadAdError) {
// Called when ad fails to load.
}
}
)
Java
InterstitialAd.load(
new AdRequest.Builder("AD_UNIT_ID").build(),
new AdLoadCallback<InterstitialAd>() {
@Override
public void onAdLoaded(@NonNull InterstitialAd ad) {
// Called when an ad has loaded.
ad.setAdEventCallback(new InterstitialAdEventCallback() {});
interstitialAd = ad;
}
@Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(@NonNull LoadAdError adError) {
// Called when ad fails to load.
}
});

Show an ad
The following examples show an interstitial ad in the current and Next Gen
Mobile Ads SDKs:
| Current |
